During our struggles and tough times in life,

During our struggles and tough times in life, we can learn from the situation and grow from it or we can let the situation destroy us.

April 23, 2025

During our struggles and tough times in life, we can learn from the situation and grow from it or we can let the situation destroy us. Here is something to think about our past creates who we are today—the good, the bad, or the sideways parts of life. And don’t you like and love who you are today? Remember in all situations and circumstance God can use hard and difficult times to glorify His name. Life is life. Learning to trust God is the key. Trust is the firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. God is our all in all. I believe, it is only through God’s help that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, that we can keep putting one step in front of the other. That we can continue to take the next breath and the next. Romans 8:28 reads, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” It is something for us to remember. Let go and trust God! God Bless. Amen.
