Challenges or Storms in Life

(- Photo taken by yours truly - )

In every wrong decision that we have made in our life, we always have to face its consequences. But what made worthy about it are the lessons and experiences that we have earned and learned. It seems to be the hardest thing in the world to admit we’ve made a mistake and try to put it right, but you know what? Mistakes are not a problem, but not taking the opportunity to learn from them is. Also, failures are part in our lives where we don't often acknowledge it, but it's the fundamental element in our own success and letting ourselves grow.

Sometimes, we can’t help it but to cry. We questioned and we wonder why, but I know that everything happens for a reason. As it is written; “All things work together for good of those who loved God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). All of it is part of God's plan to shape us, our hearts and characters to be a better version of ourselves. And yes, when God disciplined us, it’s very painful and hard to understand. But that's what we chose, we missed to listen and hear His voice when He is speaking to us. Though we are so stubborn sometimes, but His love for us is greater than all our sins or the mistakes we’ve made. He forgave and redeemed us through the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross just to save us from all our unrighteousness. Though we hurt His heart many times, but still He stays and never given up on us. He remains faithful to us even we are not faithful to Him. He is all-knowing God. He knows you, me and everyone. Nothing or no one can hide from Him. He knows our past, present and even our future.

I don’t know what challenges, state or situations that you are in right now, but know this, that we have the same God who can deliver, restore and renew us. He will not allow storms to happen in our life if we are not that strong enough to face it. Be still and know that He is God who is bigger than any trials or problems in life. Stand firm and don't let your emotions or even satan controls you, but allow and let God take or rule over your life. Submit to Him and you will be amazed how big, great and awesome He is in your life. My life is a living testimony of His goodness and faithfulness if You trust Him. As He promised in in Matthew 6:33 which is my life verse “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you“. Believe in His promises to you and claimed it as it was written in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
