In all the things that happen in your day, the Lord is wanting to teach you something. This walk with Christ is not about pummeling through so we can get to heaven, it's about having a relationship with Christ NOW and sharing Christ with others through our actions and words. But sometimes things don't go right - not how we want them to go. We get hurt. So what then?
Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. -1 Thessalonians 5:18
God wants to take those things that hurt and develop something new in us. So we take what has happened to us, show love to others, and try to learn something new.
When our parents ask us to do something we don't want to - we learn to be obedient.
When our friends let us down - we learn to forgive.
When we have to wait on something longer than we ever thought we'd have to - we learn to be patient.
When someone is hurting and in need - we learn to show compassion.
When we make mistakes - we are quicker to show grace to others for their mistakes.
