We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Romans 5:3-5 NLT
Have u ever been through something so hard that it blinded u from seeing the goodness of God?
Tragic event. Death. Separation, etc.. the truth is, its difficult to rejoice in the mist of trials n problems. Matter of fact, we are so blinded n overwhelmed by the situation that we rarely ever see a reason to be joyful in the mist of the problem.
But here, it says in these moments, our problem or trial, is what develop, grow, n mode us. It strenthens our character or who we are. Our trial brings us endurance, meaning we are able to take on bigger trials the more we experience them. It strengthen who we are and develops what we believe in. And more so, it strenthen our hope of salvation. And Jesus, our Lord and Savior will not disappoint us bcuz even in the mist of our trials n problems. God's Holy Spirit wraps us with His unchanging love.
God knows the burdens are not easy. He knows the problems u go through are heavy. But He also knows if u don't go through problems and trials, your character and ability to take on everything Satan will throw at u will never grow..
It may look likes He is not helping u. It may look like u are alone. But His Holy Spirit is holding u so tight with His love for u, as u are going through your trial..
And when u make it through. You will be a stronger u.
A baby will never learn how to walk if u carry them around their whole life. A plane will never fly if you keep it grounded. And a mind will never grow if u do not place it in a position to learn..
Today. Rejoice that while u grow, God sends His Holy Spirit to go through with u.
He is here!
