what can I gain from my pain?
Learning and Growing through Pain?
(peace during my storm)
We have all heard a very common question...why do bad things happen to good people?
It is only normal seek justice in our ciscumstances. Example: I am a good person therefore I deserve good. I do something well, I deserve to be compensated or prized. However, we have to remember that we live in an imperfect world filled with imperfect people and less than desireable situations. Does this mean that God is unfair? Or perhaps, that God isn't guarding over us?
No! Quite the opposite!
The Word of God says in John 16:33: "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the world."
Let's begin looking at our circumstance through a different lense!
Instead of saying...why is this happening to me??
Let's exchange that thought with...
What can I learn from this situation?
How will God be glorified through this crisis?
How will I be stronger and better because of this problem?
How will this adversity form an immense part of my testimony?
How can I use this to help others?
How can I use this to create a ministry?
How is God getting closer to me through this experience?
Let us be available to receive from God but also to give to Him what is his...Honor in our time of adversity. The Lord knows that we don't like to be uncomfortable, or sad or dissapointed...and He will walk us through it. The question is...
what attitude will you choose to take in the middle of you adversity?
Until we meet again! BE the SALT and BE the Light!
