Remind yourself, "This is not working against me. This is working for me. It's getting me in position for the amazing future God has in store." --Joel Osteen
There's a reason for everything. Everyone says that. "I know there's a reason for everything, but..." No "but". There just is. God gives you every single situation in your life in order to make you who you need to be for when He uses you.
It's hard to accept this when your life is sucking. It's hard to see that some way, some how in your future this very moment is going to have some huge significance.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.-- Romans 8:28I told you! He does "all things" for your "good" "according to his purpose".
Brings new meaning to "Praise Him in this Storm". God trusts you with something great in the future. Something for which He needs to mold you in His very hands. Something for which He needs to make you stronger in your faith. Something for which He is going to use your fight as an example to others. Praise the Lord for He has chosen you for this task! Are you honored or what?!
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the victor's crown, the life God has promised to those who love him.--James 1:12

Thank You. True words are always worth repeating and reading over & over & over again. Hold fast to God's truth in His scriptures...keep repeating them and reading them over & over & over. I can never read or be reminded of those verses too much! We're in this TOGETHER! <3
