Don’t Just Go through it, Grow through it
Like many Christians I’ve had my share of trials and giants. Things that I’ve had to endure, things that hindered my own growth, even things that I signed up for myself.
When your trials come, be someone that grows through it. Be someone that self reflects enough to know that there is something to learn and something that has to change. No pressure no diamonds.
God has his stamp of approval allowing things to come against you to strengthen you and to give you a testimony for someone else. Be sure that you don’t miss out on the growth in all of it. Sometimes ppl miss the growth the first or second time around, and the Lord will keep allowing them to go through it over and over until they finally get it. The cycle doesn’t have to continue. The pain and suffering doesn’t have to consume you. You can come out victorious through your obedience to the word of God.
John 16:33 - These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 - And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Proverbs 24:16 - For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
