*Sadness changes into blossom*
- Eddy Joel Silsbee
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who changes the life.
If a parent names a child as *SICK*, to those who does not understand English and its meaning, for them this word is of no sense.. but a mere name as "Mr.Sick"
But how will that child or a grown up man would feel, if he was called Mr.Sick among the English Speaking? How sad his heart would be pricked every time when someone calls him?
Just like that, the mother named him *Jabez* because he was the child who gave her the most grief during childbirth. *Jabez means sorrow or Trouble* !!
How humiliating and sad it must have been for Jabez all his life whenever relatives and friends called him *Jabez, Jabez* !!
Nevertheless, realizing that God had not created him in vain, *Jabez* appealed to God of Israel as follows:
(1) Bless me God,
(2) enlarge my boundaries;
(3) Let Your hand be upon me;
(4) Exclude me from harm so that it does not grieve me
(5) He prayed and waited;
*God granted what he prayed for*. 1 Chronicles 4:10
The people who called him *Mr. Trouble* now noticed the change in. Yes, Mr.Trouble was *honoured* than his brothers. 1 Chronicles 4: 9
*No matter what our situation, only God can change it*.
Not because what you call yourself, or your lifestyle, or your footstep, or circumstance changes your status - but put your faith on God The Creator, submit yourself in prayer and humble yourself to Him “*after leaving your selfishness & mistakes*” God will correct what is right (Isa 45:2)
He is the only one who can fix the error of our Life. (Isaiah 45: 2)
