So how are we to turn our suffering
into a blessing? That is a great
question and one I seek to help you find an answer to. I feel it is important for us to come to the
realization that through our suffering comes good. Let’s not misunderstand this statement, in no
way am I saying that I like to hear that people are suffering because I know
that God is using it for the betterment of them and/or those around them. But let me also point out that my wisdom and
understanding of this world is but a micro-sized speck compared to God’s wisdom. There are many things that I hear and wish
they would never have had to happen, but I do know that God is for us, not
against us. At the very least I hope
that you can find peace in knowing that the Creator of all, He who loved us so
much that He came to this earth in the flesh, so that we could be saved; He is
paving the road that we all travel. It is
He that is bringing these difficulties into our lives. It is so important to know that God loves us,
because otherwise we could be discouraged at the thought of God bringing pain into
our lives. If we will just take the
right approach when dealing with our hardships, we will allow God to use them
for the good He intends them to be. If
you ever begin to get discouraged at the fact that God has created these pains
for your life, and you just do not see the light at the end of the tunnel, not
being able to see why or how God could use them for good, please do not turn
your back on God. Know that He loves you
more than you could ever realize. Do not
forget that the greatest act of love ever committed was done by God Himself,
and He did it for you. In scripture we
learn that Jesus is God in the Flesh.
Jesus and God are one in the same, there is no difference between the
two, Jesus is God and God is Jesus. So
when you are down, do not let it escape you that He who is allowing these
difficulties in your life, is the same One that sacrificed Himself for you, so
that you could forever be in His presence.
Friends, I do not know about you, but I know in my heart that God’s love
for us is so deep that He provides us our salvation. He would not bring
sufferings into our lives unless it was for our own good.
