Turn “Need to” Into “Want to”
“Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope: and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” (Romans 5:3-5 WEB)
In life, many things happen to us, and how events affect us is how we view and attach meaning to them.
The apostle Paul had this revelation, and he taught the church to view suffering in a new light—to rejoice in suffering because it produces perseverance, proven character, and hope.
He knew how to reframe the undesirable things in life to become something that he wanted.
Suffering produces pain, but Paul reframed it to mean the training of his perseverance, character, and hope. Something bad became something precious and valuable.
We can apply this mindset to anything in life so that our trust is always in God and not in our self-efforts.
For example, if you see yourself putting on weight, your flesh may cause you to think, “I must go on a diet and exercise more so that I can lose weight.” This way of viewing the situation makes you reactive—on the defensive posture instead of wholeheartedly choosing to do something because you love it. When something is viewed as a burdensome chore, you will struggle with it.
Instead, why not detach your goal from the activity and just focus on the enjoyment of the beneficial action? You are not trying to exercise to lose weight—you are already young, healthy, slim, fit, and strong. Jesus paid for you to freely receive health and healing by faith.
When you exercise, there doesn’t have to be a goal. You can reframe your mindset and exercise just because you find it fun and enjoyable. “I like to run and feel my body challenging its limits. At the same time, I get time to enjoy the beautiful scenery that God has made, and listen to the Holy Spirit speaking to me.”
Wow, just like that, exercise without needing to gain anything from it becomes something desirable, just like the enjoyable activity of playing games for fun. Guess what, you will still reap the fitness benefits of exercise when you do it.
This method of refraining things is important because we don’t want to fall into the deception of getting things done by self-effort. Whatever is done by the flesh apart from God’s blessing has to be tiresomely maintained by the flesh.
If you’re struggling financially, and you’re always thinking, “I need to work so that I can earn money,” you’ll be perpetually stressed out, your performance at work will de-prove, and the self-reliance hinders God’s gracious provision and favor that must be received by faith.
No, you’re not working to earn money. You are a child of the wealthiest King of Heaven and earth—money is not something worth worrying about. You are always well-supplied and never lacking. God’s blessing makes you truly wealthy in all ways and He adds no sorrow nor trouble to it.
“Yahweh’s blessing brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.” (Proverbs 10:22 WEB)
Instead of feeling forced to work, work because you enjoy it, and because the people you deal with at work will benefit greatly from having Jesus as Lord. You would love to show them His glory through your words and deeds. When you think this way, you detach the goal of earning money from the action of working, and it just becomes an activity that you enjoy and look forward to—it becomes something very meaningful that you can be passionate about.
When you do your best at work to shine brightly for God, to showcase Christ in you, you will still be paid, and very likely, your job performance will improve. The state of mind will change from one that’s dragging your feet to work, to one that runs in, excited to embark on the next task for Jesus’ sake so that more may glorify our Father in Heaven.
Many times, God’s word says “repent”, and I agree that we can change our mind about all the ways we think negatively. Reacting by the flesh, we will always try to compensate for some lacking area by doing hard work, choosing man’s way instead of God’s way. To see a positive transformation, all it takes is a little reframing according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We don’t have to act like homeless orphans fending for themselves on the streets. We have a Father, and we are His beloved children. When your flesh tells you that you “need to” do something, reframe the whole thing by seeing it through Jesus’ finished work at the cross and what that sacrifice has accomplished for you. See how you can proactively “want to” do the task. Rest from fleshly self-efforts, and actively receive the supply of grace for every need!

no pain, no gain example 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的精選貼文
“But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position; and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away. For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits. Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, produces death. Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.” (James 1:9-17 WEB)
It is traditionally believed that James, the brother of our Lord Jesus, wrote this letter to the Jews.
For the Jewish believers who had lost everything, James reminds them that in Christ they have a glorious inheritance and rewards that far exceed what they lost.
For the rich Jewish believers, James instructs them not to boast in their riches or pursue them but to humbly serve Christ.
In Israel there was a type of grass that grew out in the morning and died shortly after being scorched by the afternoon sun.
James referred to this type of grass to illustrate the unstable and transient nature of worldly riches.
In the circumstances of poverty and rejection, the Jewish believers may have been tempted to steal or turn back to Judaism to gain relief from the suffering and persecution.
There are eternal rewards for enduring temptation and James reminds them of this.
In tough times, we may wonder, “Is God behind my sufferings? Is He purposely tempting me?” If God is the one doing it then there is no hope for man.
James assures believers that God tempts no one to sin and He also cannot be tempted.
God is behind all good things—everything evil is not from Him.
When we are tempted, it is our own flesh being attracted to sin.
If you let that temptation remain long enough in your heart, it tends to conceive and bear sin—acting upon one’s fleshly thoughts and desires.
If one stubbornly continues in that sin, it eventually results in the ultimate end: physical death.
Take the example of drug addiction. First it lures you in with curiosity and the false promises of relief from pain or sorrow.
As you do drugs, light doses don’t satisfy the flesh anymore and the flesh keeps craving heavier doses more frequently.
Eventually, many end up dying from drug overdose.
The opposite is also true, with faith. When you keep receiving God’s word in your heart, it conceives and bears good fruit.
As you keep feeding that promise of God, it will continue to manifest in a greater measure—thirty, sixty, until hundredfold.

No Pain, No Gain !
Only goblins would think this was a good idea. Even they are starting to have their doubts.
Bouncing Blade
Deal 1 damage to a random minion. Repeat until a minion dies.
Bouncing Blade is an epic warrior spell card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set.
Notes
Bouncing Blade won't hit targets that are immune, or at 1 Health and affected by Commanding Shout. If all non-immune minions are affected by Commanding Shout, Bouncing Blade will bounce between them until they are all at 1 Health, and then stop.
If there are no eligible targets, Bouncing Blade will have no effect. This includes if all targets are immune or at 1 Health with Commanding Shout.
Bouncing Blade will bounce a maximum of 80 times. After this the effect will cease, even if no minions have been destroyed.
Bouncing Blade stops bouncing when damaging a minion (and resolving the damage) leads to the target minion becoming mortally wounded (0 or less Health) or pending destroy (hit by a Destroy effect this Phase).(The target minion becoming pending destroy used to not stop Bouncing Blade.)
The 0 Health minion may survive dying; for example, if you have a Mal'Ganis in play and a newly spawned Imp from Imp Gang Boss is reduced to 0 Health by Bouncing Blade, Bouncing Blade will stop, but the Imp will gain +2/+2 from Mal'Ganis before Hearthstone checks for deaths, and thus it will survive.
Gurubashi Berserker
Whenever this minion takes damage, gain +3 Attack.
Gurubashi Berserker is a neutral minion card, from the Basic set.
