HIS Love in the Midst of Our Stuggles

When you think about a difficulty in your life, sometimes it feels as though it's impossible to conquer or change. When I think about what's been a struggle in my life lately, I'd say my relationships with my family and work. With life problems I know for me, I try to change/fix them. But as I've realized "trying to fix" things has got me nowhere. The moment I reflect on the situation, pray about it, and give it to God, is when I begin to see the difference and see the change. We all have difficulties that steal life from us and keep us from moving forward. God wants to help us conquer them. Sometimes God is closest to us in our darkest moments and shows Himself to us in special ways. God also uses the difficult emotions of brokenness and sadness to draw us closer to Him. The weight of our wrongness crushes our spirit and that's the perfect time to see and accept God's amazing love and grace. He reveals His love to people who realize how much they need Him. No matter how deep and terrible the pain is, God's love is so much bigger. God is there to comfort you and heal your hurting spirit. When we're feeling weak and beat up by the world, His gentle love is just that much more real. Tough times make us know how deeply we need God.

"The Lord hears good people when they cry out to Him, and He saves them from all their troubles."
- Pslam 34:17
