“Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:12 GW
We all go through different challenges in life. As we enter school in our childhood days, we were prepared for such tests until we become adults. Life is full of tests and we shouldn’t be surprised if we go through one. But the best part about having to endure it is we become better than ever. We grow in the midst of our challenges. Our characters are molded to becoming a better version of us.
God did not promise a life without trials. In fact, Christ said that in this world, there will be many tribulations. But He didn’t just reminded us of that reality, He also reminded us to stay glad despite of it because He has already overcome the world.
I have been through a lot of difficulties in life. There were times where I just wanted to quit because of too much pressure going on. I wanted to quit believing but doing so will be such a waste. I don’t know what else to do but to just remain in my faith knowing God is with me despite my situation. I realized that all those tests were meant to mold me and change me as a stronger Abby.
He has used all those detours, disappointments and challenges for my advantage. He has used those dust trying to bury my dreams to make a greater foundation in my life by planting me deeper in His promises. Now I can testify that He has placed me on a better ground. I am grateful that He allowed me to go through all those route for He was able to fulfill His purpose for my life gracefully.
He was my strength in my weakness. He is my reward in my testings. And as we stay faithful and obedient to God in our most difficult times. He is faithful to reward us beyond our heart’s desires. Let’s continue to trust Him despite our circumstances. He knows what He is doing. He is in control. He is sovereign. Trust God above all else and begin to expect His goodness and mercy running after you!
Sincerely,
Abby Bern
