Every experience helps us grow!

What if you have been misunderstood?
What if things in your life
don’t go according to what you had planned?
What if you are sick?
Or you lose something or
someone important to you?
What if it rains and rains, for days and days,
and there seems to be only dark clouds in the sky?
What if you try so hard to be a good person,
and it doesn’t seem to be enough?

Have you ever heard the expression:
“Life is 10%
what happens to you
and 90% what
you do with
what happens to you!”

When life is a challenge:
1-Receive all things with thankfulness!
I recently had an issue with a tooth, that just about sent me over the edge. I can honestly say that the first thought that crossed my mind was, “This is good, now when I’m feeling better I will appreciate it so much more, than I would have if I wasn’t feeling miserable right now!”
2-Think of the challenge as a gift!
What is this gift?
What am I supposed to learn? What is the lesson?
I will learn and be better than I was. I will have greater knowledge and more love, if I think of the experience as a gift. God must think a lot of me, to give me this opportunity to grow!
I will thank God for the gift!
3-Pray for peace and patience,
as we pass through this challenge!
God is the sculptor, we are the clay! Sometimes it takes a
little while for us to learn what God is trying to teach us.
4-Be prepared to hear
what God is trying to tell us!
Sometimes we are so busy complaining about our situation, that we can’t hear. God will speak to us when we struggle and tell us what we need to learn and do to move on! Listen!!
5-Keep moving forward!
I heard a saying once, I don’t know who said it, but it went something like, “It came to pass, not it came to stay!” We need to remember to move forward, learn the lesson, thank God for the experience, and be a better person for going through it!
