Living your life with God at the center of it all is the best decision you will ever make as a person as this is an important key towards experiencing an extraordinary life of growth. The challenges or tribulations are necessary because they help us stay connected to God so we can receive unlimited strength and live a life of fulfillment because he has loaded us with too much power to achieve all our life long goals and dreams.
Whether you like it or not, growth is necessary but it doesn’t just happen immediately; it happens gradually. All you need do is convince yourself that you cannot be stagnated, just as God told Moses to tell the children of Israel to go forward, you too should agree that the statement was made because of you – you just have to keep moving forward with God every step in the way.
God is not interested in raising perfect beings without blemish or spots; He is much more interested in having a more loyal, devoted, dedicated and committed allies working with Him to achieve His goal.
In a Relationship, spending time with your spouse builds intimacy and trust, and solutions to the problems threatening to tear down the relationship apart is revealed, which make the relationship work a lot better. The same applies to God, the more time we spend with him, the more committed He is to us, and this makes our life become much more comfortable than it was at the initial stage.
Today and always, know that your past, your regrets, your disappointments and your problems are too small when compared to the glorious future ahead of you which is just a few hours from now. You have made a lot of mistakes in the past which you were never proud of but be Rest Assured that everything is turning around for you. Take your mind away from the hurts and stay focused, restoration is coming.
Pastor Joel Osteen wrote in his book – “FRESH START…the new you begins today” that “……God is bigger than your past, your disappointments, and your problems. You may have made a lot of mistakes, but God can turn those things around. People may have hurt you, but if you’ll trust God, He’ll restore you. Just stay focused on the new life you have with Him. Think of it like a change in seasons. When winter turns to spring, the old is gone and the new begins. The past may have been cold and dreary. Maybe your dreams have been dormant and covered. But now it’s springtime! Spring symbolizes a fresh start. It’s a time for new growth and multiplication!”
As you embrace the challenges and enjoy every bit of it, be rest assured that your growth will happen anyway. Be patient, it might take a while but just trust God enough; He is working towards bringing your life back on track. You will soon start seeing his goodness and mercy all day long.
Everything we go through in life is INTENTIONAL…all things are working for your good.
