When faced with difficult/negative circumstances, one can either decide to change something for the better or THINK of the situation in a positive manner...what comes out flows from within. What is the use of dwelling on the negative? Does one benefit from such? The answer is no. Even if one cannot change a circumstance, the way one views and acts during a circumstance can alter/determine its outcome. Through Love (which is God and He is within us, and He is LOVE, so how can we not genuinely love, no matter what? And when the Spirit flows through us there will be fruit, even in times of hardship), faith, hope, and perseverance, one can get through any situation. As cliche as people make it sound, with God, all things are truly possible. Life is not meant to be easy. Sacrifice is required. Hardship is required. Weakness is required. If we keep our eyes on God, we realized only all difficulties that we struggle with is only momentarily. Eternity lies ahead of us, so how can hardship not be worth it? Although it can be difficult to grasp the reasoning behind difficulty, especially DURING the time of difficulty, there IS a reason for everything. Hardships can be viewed as sculpting tools which mold us into disciplined, wiser, and stronger people. When we open our hearts to transformation (we are going through the process of sanctification), our hearts become more like our Father God's. We have an amazing Architect who constructs everything beautifully, in His perfect TIMING, even if we cannot see so for ourselves at the time. We must believe this. We must BELIEVE in Him, Our Savior. The Lord is constructing masterpieces (our hearts) that will be awaiting Him when He returns. It is all for His Glory...the Kingdom is advancing.
