Whatever the trial, we can choose to resent our circumstance, or focus on the one carrying us through it.

I don't know what you're going through today friend & I have absolutely no right to tell you to "just feel better about it". But from one suffering human to another, i've personally come out stronger from my trials when I kept my focus on Him.

He has always been faithful, He never fails.

So maybe it's not about feeling better, nor living to avoid pain. Maybe, just maybe, when we step forward in obedience, our trials & choices in it, might be lovingly moulding us into the likeness of our maker.

When I fix my eyes on that outcome, weathering the storms seem much less daunting(: I'm not facing these mountains alone, Jesus is batting for my team! His grace is sufficient for me, His power is made perfect in my weakness. Ultimately, He works all things together for the good of those who love Him & are called according to His purpose.

So let's run the good race together dear friend(: You're not in this fire alone! I pray that more of us will start stepping boldly out of being a victim of our circumstance & into the testimony of grace He has prepared ahead of you.
