God's Light of truth shines brightest in our darkest moments. We learn that He is close to the brokenhearted when our heart's are broken (Psalm 34:18). We learn that He will keep us in perfect peace when we are surrounded with chaos (Isaiah 26:3). We learn that He provided us victory over temptation when we are confronted with it (1 Corinthians 10:13). We learn that He will not forsake us or abandon us when friends and family leave us (Hebrews 13:5-6). We learn to praise not after the victory but in the midst of war, because it is here we are learning to trust God (2 Chronicles 20:17-25). We learn to pray when we are pressed upon by the weight of life and all we can lift is a prayer (1 Peter 5:7). God's Character and Care sometimes has to be shown to us through life's struggles (2 Corinthians 12:8-10). We must view life's struggles as an opportunity to grow in Christ as opposed to a crushing blow of defeat (James 1:2-4). His Spirit is using what the enemy meant to destroy you to build you into He has called you to be ( Romans 8:28). And He is taking away the roadblocks we put place in life that prevent us from being more like Him (John 15:2). So take heart the pain has purpose, and the eternal changes He is making inside of you will outlast your temporary afflictions (2 Corinthians 4:16-18). Stay focused you can do this.
"In His JOY!"
