Jabez children.
To those children who found themselves into pain that was brought to them genetically, from parents’ misconduct, trauma from parents, generational curses. Just know its 100% not your fault.
John 9:1-5
New International Version
Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
9 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
Just as Jesus Christ shifted the blame from both parents and the child and instead concentrated on where help for them and the entire human kind, we should always do the same. Just as Adam’s blame towards Eve never saved them from what came after we should look back to the original plan that God almighty laid down for us all so that we can live.
God knew you before you were born jeremiah1:1-5
Jeremiah 1:1-5
New International Version
1 The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin. 2 The word of the Lord came to him in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, 3 and through the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, down to the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.
The Call of Jeremiah
4 The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Psalm 139:15-16
New International Version
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Just as Jeremiah, David knew this because God revealed this to them while they were walking with him, those who are ignorant about this, God is using me to tell you that this is true and those who have been in self-denial for a long time please just get into a relationship with God and this will become clear to you. Many of us are trying to figure out our pain without our creator but all in vain. I heard people take their own lives because they are tired of hanging on because what the world is giving them through medication and counseling leaves them in the management mode. Take advise through counseling and medication is not bad, but how long can you walk this life without a way out which is your creator. Let’s borrow a leaf from this man who caught my attention the very first year I got myself in a relationship with my creator. He is one of the bible characters that help me hang in there amidst of the pain I didn’t understand.
1 Chronicles 4:9-10
New International Version
9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez,[a] saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.And now with the suffering that is still going on Jesus Christ said that
John 10:10
New International Version
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:28
New International Version
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
John 11:25-26
New International Version
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”So its not just a cliché word but Jesus Christ can fix it.
