Life is sometimes that four letter word. We feel the weight of the world on our shoulders and wonder why all of this is happening. The comparison of our life to everyone around us begins and so follows the doubt, anger, fear, worry - all those emotions that keep us from seeing the picture. But what if our reactions to these times changed? What if we decided to not let those worried and thoughts enter our minds but instead look at things completely different?
Have we ever thought that just maybe there was a lesson being taught? That through this trial or circumstance God had plans to mold us, humble us, and reveal to us what He wants? This is exactly what happens for His children. Nothing and I mean nothing comes upon our lives unless it is first goes through His loving hands. When money is tight, when people mean to bring you harm, when life is pressing against us at all sides - yes there is a lesson there. God wants to strip away the things of this world and point our lives toward Him and His plan.
Life - that four letter word that is daily used to bring us into a closer relationship with Him or to some, bring them to a relationship with him. You or I may be the difference in someone accepting that call on their lives or choosing the World. May we choose to ask "Lord, what are you trying to show me? " instead of "why me?"
