3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. ~ Romans 5:3-5
Sometimes you have to go through the storm so that you can get to the other side. But once you get out of your storm, don’t take it with you. Don’t carry your storm with you to your place of freedom. To your place of rest. A lot of the time, we are stuck on the anger from our storm that we can’t see the solution that has been given to us. We can’t see the freedom. We can’t see the healing. We can’t see the blessing. We can’t see the change.
But if we let go of the past and we let go of the trials and tribulations, we can grow. We can find hope. Sometimes God allows us to go through difficult times that we might grow in faith and in hope. Because when we are weak, that’s when God is strong. He carries us when we can’t stand on our own two feet. He shows us His love and mercy, especially when everything else seems to be falling apart. So, don’t be discouraged in trials and tribulations; the LORD, your God, is with you. Encourage yourself in His Word, and He will give you strength that you may run the race set before you and not grow weary.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Get To The Other Side.
