No one wants to lose in life… in any way. When you are humiliated or put to shame for any reason it hurts you to your core. For example when you try something and you fail at it, especially when it is in front of others, you immediately feel embarrassed. When people look at your life and see that you are unsuccessful and everything that you try does not work, this causes you to feel down. No one ever likes to feel that feeling of failure.

Perhaps your life has been one of failure and disgrace. Your career has been a shame, your marriage has been a mess, your family has been a destroyed, your relationship… well, it doesn’t exist, your finances and many other areas of your life are all down. God wants to remove the failure and give to you everlasting joy.

Like the word of God says in the book of Isaiah:Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
Isaiah 61:7

But for this everlasting joy to come into your life, you need to learn to give up this shameful life that you have, all that you have, all that you are. That’s what the Campaign of Israel is all about. When God asks for someone’s all, He is actually trying to give them more. He uses sacrifice as a way to test us and see if we trust Him. And when we show Him that we do, through giving what He asks, then He removes our shame and gives us the double honor. That’s how it works. Give your all, then He gives His all. And that means you receive everlasting joy!

May the God of the Bible Bless You
