Well, here you go again with another blog that might be hard to swallow. Trust me, I am trying to swallow it as well. We all know that everything is easier said than done. I type this now admitting that saying you are a believer and walking out what Jesus walked out is harder than anyone could ever imagine. We're all so quick to take the good, to rejoice together with Christ and our victories; yet so very slow to join Him in the suffering. Why? We are weak. We can't stand the pain. I can't stand the pain. Though we know discipline, heartache, challenges, and difficult situations draw us closer to Christ, the process is overwhelming and quite honestly unbearable at times.
There have been certain situations in my life that have molded and shaped me into the person I am today. Some of these situations have been times of rejoicing, but a majority of them have been times of suffering. If I am who I claim to be, than I have no choice but to trust in the Lord during these times. It sure doesn't take away the pain that you or I may feel throughout the trial, but it is the only option you and I have. This too shall pass ...
Love Deeply
