Messages some people share with me

I forgot to post down a couple of good messages some Godly people share with me. Although lately I've been very weak, both physical and emotional, that I don't know whether they would be much help to my spirit, I believe these messages are true.

1. The Path of The Lord is a beautiful rose surrounded with thorn. You need to go through the thorn before you can get to the rose. 

2. When pain and suffering overwhem you, cast yourself down before the feet of Jesus in total surrender, then Peace beyond this world will overflow you. 

3. When in pain and suffering, be thankful and let go. Trust that God knows what is best for us. Trust that God is full of love and He will never give anything bad to His children. He will give only the best things to His children.  We may not see or understand, but God knows and understands all things, and He loves much more than we can ever imagine. Just "TRUST" Him. 

Number 1 and number 3 is clealy supported by the Bible.

- Jesus himself said that "Carry your own cross and follow me." He never said that we can walk with Him without any burden, He just said that His "yoke and burden" that we will have to carry is rather easy and light. (Matthew 16:24; Matthew 11:30)

- God said that His Way and His Knowledge is beyond our way and our knowledge. Jesus also said that if human father knows how to give good things to his children, how much more that our Father in Heaven would give to His children. If He cares and feed each of the sparrow that worth a few pennies, He would care and provide for His children much more than that. His apostle also said that all things work out for good to those who loves the Lord. (Isaiah 55:8; Luke 11:13; Matthew 10:29-31; Roman 8:28)

I have a bit problem with message number 2, though, because in the Bible it says that all we have to do is just pray and send petition to the Lord and not worry, then Peace beyond this world will guard our heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Phillipian 4:6-9) I don't see "cast yourself down before the Lord" part anywhere in the Bible that I can remember.

Well, but any sinners who came to Jesus feet and ask for help never go without  receiving help, so we can bet on that part. We can see that in many many places in the Gospels.

So, these are good things some people shared with me, so I share them here.

But I do have problems when I put them in practice. Will analyze that later.
