It has been a while since I wrote to you. I had a terrible and good year. God is good and He has been in every day as I faced some of the worst challenges and still do.
What can we say
about challenges. Paul said we must rejoice in tribulation because our faith
grows when we face difficult challenges and our relationship with God gets stronger.
In my case it was
the opposite. My challenges did not pull me closer but instead pushed me back to
my default. Fight.
For the first time
hatred filled me as I watch one more time how unfair manipulation gets rewarded,
and I simply stand powerless to it.
Everything in live happens with a purpose. We do
not always understand when things are removed from our lives or when things cross
our path. God will never test you beyond your abilities and believe me I got close
to the point where I thought God had a different person in mind.
Yet here I am. Jesus
said that His grace is enough. The problem here is not the grace part but what
we know of God’s grace. When Jesus said this, He knew that God’s grace is limitless
and greater than what we can understand or comprehend.
Put your challenge
in God’s hands and trust. Yes, trust Him completely with a humble desperate
heart. He will take control, and He will change the outcome. Most importantly,
it will be for His glory and not our own ego.
When God moves and things
change. Lives are touched and people change. Remember that.
Leave it to God and
trust Him.
Trust in
the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)
