I am thankful for trials. I say this knowing that trials rather suck during the time of them, but with the new perspective trials can bring, if you choose, I am thankful.
Romans 5
You see, without trials, there would be no such thing as hope, perseverance, and building of character. Sins and trials do not define who you are and who you are called to be, but the response to these is what makes a man or woman, it shows to the World and Christ the heart of us. I can say this whole heartily that I am thankful for trials, I can say that as I have endured more than I thought I could, because I did, I endured more than I could. I did not endure more than Christ and our heavenly Father could though, and that is the perspective my trials have brought me. They brought me to a place where I for the first time in my life put my full hope in Christ and God. They were beyond me, they got me over "myself". I am thankful for trials.
Romans 15
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
This is truth. I can testify to this. Once I fully put my hope in God and Christ, he moved in my life and my families life. I have been filled with the power of the Holy Spirit once I completely put my hope in Them. I have a new clarity because I look to my heavenly Father and Christ above all else. No longer do I look elsewhere first, but I look to Them.
I urge you to look to God our Father and Christ. Get over yourselves, get over others. Look to Christ and do not question it. Embrace the truth that is written throughout the Word(James 1:22). Embrace the truth that Christ suffered more than anyone prior or after and was rescued from God. God knew the power and glory that comes from trials and sufferings, so much so that He put his only begotten Son through the biggest of trials. It is your choice how you respond though, but I urge you to look to Christ, turn to His Word. Start by praying, start by searching your heart, start by opening God to your heart, then listen and follow. Just START!!!
It is what it is, and this be it...
I will leave you with this...
Romans 15:33
The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Romans 5
Peace and Hope
1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we[c] also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.You see, without trials, there would be no such thing as hope, perseverance, and building of character. Sins and trials do not define who you are and who you are called to be, but the response to these is what makes a man or woman, it shows to the World and Christ the heart of us. I can say this whole heartily that I am thankful for trials, I can say that as I have endured more than I thought I could, because I did, I endured more than I could.
