《Walking With Jesus A Daily Devotional》Day Twenty
Advertisement
Day Twenty.
Verses: "'Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."' Matthew 28:18-20
Honestly, today has been a really rough today. As you all know I have been struggling with unbearable physical pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis. Today I went to the shooting range with my dad and sister. My hands and arms are so weak (due to chronic illnesses) that it hurt me so much to hold the gun. I shot the gun four times. But after that my pain was killing so I came back to the car and cried. It made me feel so bad that I couldn't even do something simple like that. Throughout my journey with fibromyalgia and arthritis, I have had to give up doing a lot things I used to love. It breaks my heart every time I can't do something I want to. I am not okay. I am feeling very sad and in so much physical pain. But one thing I do know is: God is with me.
Maybe you are like me and you are really struggling right now. Maybe you are battling a chronic illness, mental illness, cancer, or maybe you lost a loved one. I don't know what you are going through but I do know that God is with you. He has an amazing plan for you.
I know I am young and in pain. But I also very close to God. I am soon to be a published author with my book: "Jesus Saves Daily Devotions." I am still a college student and even though I am not graduating on time. I am still going to college and not giving up. Even though my life has not gone the way I have planned, I believe God has a greater plan. If I weren't chronic ill, I would have never written this book, or "Jesus Saves Daily Devotion." I would have never started "Jesus Saves Ministry" or "Jesus Saves Ministry Podcast." Even though I have suffered, God has made me stronger.

I don't know what you have been through or going through, but I do know God has an amazing plan for your life. (Jeremiah 29:11) This plan He has for you, will not be easy. It will be hard and it will test your faith. (John 16:30-33) But if you stay close to God and grab His hand, He will lead you the way. (Matthew 28:18-20) God will always be there for you and help you through life. (Psalm 121:1-2) God will comfort you and hold you in His arms. (Isaiah 49:13)
One amazing thing from all the pain I have been through is God turned my pain into a passion of writing and helping others. I honestly don't think I would have been a writer if I didn't get chronically ill. Writing has helped me so much and I hope it helps others as well. I hope I show you guys that even with all my scars, brokenness, sadness, pain, and illnesses that God still loves me and uses me to build His kingdom.
God can and will use you as well to build His kingdom. No matter who you are or what you have done: God loves you, God is always there for you, God can use your mess, and turn it into a message for His kingdom. God can take your pain and turn it into your purpose and passion. God can take whatever you are struggling with and turn it into something beautiful and amazing. All you have to do, is let Him. He is just waiting for you. He can't wait to see you.
Prayer:
Dear God,
I am struggling. I need your help God. I can't do life on my own. I pray you grab my hand and help me through life. I need you to guide me Lord because your will is greater than mine. I want you to lead me wherever I need to go Lord and I will follow you. Please take my mess, pain, and struggles and help me use them to bring glory to Your Kingdom. Show me my purpose for your kingdom Lord. I will go and do whatever you need me to do Lord. Because I have complete trust and hope in you Lord.

A cataclysm occurred in the world, which rolled back its development for many centuries. The power in it returned to the church, because otherwise, as the "2nd coming", the event that destroyed the earth, cannot be called. A big war is brewing, humanity has already mastered all places suitable for life, and the rulers are trying to expand their possessions at the expense of others. Our hero, Marzio, lives in one of the free Italian towns. He is the bastard of a major feudal lord who made his name in the war. His mother, despite her righteous lifestyle, practices quackery. For which one day, on an unremarkable and ordinary day, she is sentenced to death. Seeing the burning of his own mother and losing faith in people, Marzio begins his journey. Thanks to the connections of his small family, he escapes from the city and, together with a trade caravan, moves to another city, where he plans to enter the academy and become stronger. Along the way, he contacts people who call themselves "diggers" - plunderers. So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides. But the second coming gave not only the suffering and wrath of God, but also monsters from mutated animals. In a fight with them, he falls into the eyes of the detachment of the sacred order, after which they, having estimated its potential, take it to themselves and, with their patronage, he enters the academy. At the academy, he meets new friends, and his origin is revealed there. Since he is the only male descendant, he can claim the title and possession of his father. Thanks to this, our hero receives a certain amount of attention from the opposite sex. After training, Marzio learns about the so-called knowers who are aware of the artifacts of the ancients and how things truly are. New prospects are opening up for him, but also new dangers. He becomes part of the squad that helped him. And using modern for us and futuristic for the Middle Ages, small arms are engaged in protecting the secrets of the church and persecuting a group calling themselves apostates, who want to reveal all the cards that will drive the world into a new branch of chaos and the fight against the regime. As cover, his order sided with minor rulers to fight the old-fashioned way and maintain the balance of power. More and more secrets are revealed to Marzio, and a serious intriguing game unfolds behind him, into which he is sucked in with more and more force. But the hero is the hero, in order to grow and cope with the twists and turns of fate, he stoically withstands all trials and even not knowing about the threats from the east and another continent continues to go forward to meet his fate, for the sake of freedom, revenge and struggle.
