Greetings everyone,
This weeks message goes out to those of us who find it very, very difficult to remain stable when so much around us is unstable. Within the last 3 to 6 months there have been so many different things that have taken all of us by surprise that it's almost hard to catch our breath before another tragic situation occurs. Deaths both tragic,and unexpected. Economical situations that have come and literally pulled the bottom out from under us. Situations that have caused young people to worry and struggle with both depression and death. Stress that is unexplainable and so deeply rooted that we can't even trace its begining. It is been so overwhelming that when we would turn to others for help they could help us because they too have been dealing with so many difficult situations.
For some you have even tried to talk to spiritual leaders for guidence and they have not had the answers that you have needed either. Others of you because there is no spiritual base you have had to rely on your own ideas, ideology, and understanding. This has brought you to a place where you're now discouraged and defeated. No matter what the particular situation this has caused you to be unstable and unsure. So because of this we find ourselves almost at a loss. I am so encouraged during these times because life has taught me many lessons through the years, and I will pass on my secrets soon. I want you all to now that I am praying for you and, understand that God does not allow anything to happen to us that does not make us stronger. In addition to this His goal is not to throw us off but, to create more stability for other difficult situations that life wil bring to us. My encouragement...
1. No matter how dark life may get God always provides that small ray of light during these times.
2. Our ability to see past our current situation gives us vision to see into our future.
3. Lifes difficult situations build us while deepening our roots so that our foundation is strengthened.
4. With each tragic/difficult situation on lifes journey we are bombarded with many thoughts, but we come to a realization of a real God.
5. No matter how much gets thrown at us we must realize that some situations we cannot change, so worrying about them is no longer an option.
6. You must not focus on the problem, but the One who can solve the problem.
7. You must realize that in order for there to be a strong foundation established for us to stand on we must face and go through some trials.
8. NEVER get to a place where you feel like your life is not worth living that is a lie from the devil himself to abort your destiny.
9. Pay attention at all times, and learn as much as you can in difficult situations.
10. Finally we must constrain those things and people around us that provide stability for us while encountering difficult situation. I pray that this provide some comfort during many difficult situations that we all must face in this life. Simply put if there were no storms and rain life cannot be produced. Without tests there are no testimonies.
