Go Through Trials And Grow Through It

Many times in our lives, we focus on the painful times when we are hurting, lonely, or undergoing medical treatment, and we believe they cannot be a part of the Father's plan.

We must trust that Abba will not make any mistakes even then. He planned every detail of our lives. He made no promises about there being no pain, suffering, or disappointment. But He did promise that everything would work out in the end for our good (see Romans 8:28).

The key is what we do when we are in pain. Difficulties, heartbreak, and suffering do not leave us unchanged. If we go through relationship difficulties or a financial crisis, or if a friend betrays us, we will eventually recover, but we will be different. We have the option of coming out bitter or better. We can either leave with a chip on our shoulder or with more trust.

My challenge:

Don't just go through it; grow through it.
