I have a hard decision to make – it will not only affect my life but other lives as well – It’s heartbreaking but real.
I know it’s true – most of the time when something like this comes into play – we’re reminded that the majority of our spiritual growth happens during some of the hardest and most painful times of our lives.
Those trials we’ve experienced have pushed us and have pressed us straight under God’s wing and we’ve managed to press on.
And when we press on – we’ve changed for the better, and continue to do so a little more each day.
He loves us so big that He’s constantly on the move to help us have an attitude of gratitude and humility, which in turn, continues each day to bring more freedom into our lives.
With this “real” freedom we’ve found, even when we don’t have everything our way – we’ll still be just as happy as if we did – and that’s called “progress”
Making progress results in more of His power in our daily walk – it’s a difficult process to reach this point, but it’s so well worth it.
Bottom line – growing in Him is not always comfortable, and absolutely, there’ll always be sacrifice involved.
He’ll ask us to do things that we may be afraid to do, but we don’t have to worry because He’ll give us the strength and grace we need every single time to take on His task, and come out stronger on the other side.
So yes, let’s go into each day keeping a constant attitude of gratitude, resisting any temptation to complain – instead, praising and thanking Him for who He is and all He’s done.
It’s by His grace and through His strength – we can overcome and live our days with big huge grateful hearts, and yes sweet friends – that’s what makes our hand – His winning hand.
We are loved by love Himself. He loves us big and He loves us strong, and yes – love wins period
“But he said to me, “My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you.” So I am very happy to brag about my weaknesses. Then Christ’s power can live in me.” 2Corinthians 12:9-10
