Cursed; not the most inviting word. Where does it come from? Where are its roots? All evil comes from the Devil; he is trying to make our lives as much miserable as possible. Why? And why more to one person then another? Satan is willing to break a person, to keep you as far away from hope as possible. When terrible things happen in your life, you go through a period you may feel numb. After a while you realize you need to keep living. And you find the strength to do so, but over and over again you face bad situations. How much can a person handle? The word ‘crush’ is very close to ‘curse’, they work together, or more clear; Satan uses this. Trying to crush whatever hope you still have. And why more to one person to another? We are all made unique, the one person can handle more then another, but we all have a ‘crush-point’. And that’s exactly what the Devil is after. He doesn’t want you to be happy, to have hope, hope in a good future. Why he does that? Because he’s cursed himself, cursed by God Himself. Wanting to be like God. But no one can be, because there’s only One God. So thrown out of God’s Heaven, Satan’s after you… not wanting you to have hope, not wanting you to be happy. Because he knows what happiness can be like and he’ll never receive it himself.

It’s in these dark, bad situations that there are two forces pulling on you. You might not realize, but you’re getting pulled on your arms one way and your legs the other. Somewhat powerless; But! In the middle is your heart and it’s capable of choosing direction… You’ll either choose the direction of self-centered; I can do it all by myself, just like the Devil thinks and wants you to think like too. Or you’ll choose to give in and leave your live depending on Jesus. ‘The One who became a curse for us.’ (Galatians 3:13)

Here you might think; here we go again, another ‘Jesus-freak’. But let me tell you, you may feel like you are cursed, but Jesus actually was cursed, cursed for our sins, not His own, but ours. So when you getting pulled by two forces, the one way is screaming for your destruction, the other for hope and yes, delivery from your destruction! This is a choice we all have to make in life, for one day total destruction will come to this earth and to the Devil too. But for those who have faith, have eternal rest. Eternal rest!! No more pain, no more crushing situations. Just love and joy! You’re not alone; we all have to testify one day. And may we together share our hope and share in eternal love and joy through Jesus! ‘That we may receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.’ (Galatians 3:14)

‘Jesus said: Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for such is the kingdom of heaven.’ (Matthew 19:14) Believe like a child, it’s not hard. A child believes pretty much anything it hears… Just choose the right force, don’t get stuck in the middle, remember your heart being there? If the two forces both pull really hard, your heart will split in two; broken. And guess who wins then…

I do so hope and pray that you might find eternal rest, do not let your heart be broken, but fix it with hope, love and joy. Through Jesus!!
