Life’s Painful Cycle

Many have watched their kids come into the world and know the Joy it brings! Overwhelming feelings that are simply indescribable, the past number of days I’ve had a few reminders that life in not a permanent fix, Friends parents, Friends, Customers in work, so many people are currently going through the testing waters of having to say a final farewell to someone they loved very much. Death is something we try to steer away from in conversation, and there are many valid reasons why we do. Life will throw many trials and tests our way, we however are given a choice, to rise above them, or let it ruin us forever, we need a strong will and Gods Guiding hand to get us through, I’m always encouraged when I read in Job 1v 12 that God puts limits on the trials that we face. (Passage Below from NLT)

10 You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is!
11 But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!” 12 “All right, you may test him,” the Lord said to Satan. “Do whatever you want with everything he possesses, but don’t harm him physically.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence.

God uses every circumstance in our lives to shape us and mould us into the person He has purposed in His heart for us to become, if we try to see life from this perspective there is a greater Hope for us to see light at the end of the tunnel, or see the other side of lifes storms.

Don’t lie down a let problems, worries and hurts destroy You, because Satan wants to destroy Gods people, you have a part to play while God will not let you be totally destroyed there is a responsibility on your shoulders to fight for what we believe in, and rise above the things that could destroy us.

Life can be painful, but lets try to enjoy it as best we can!

Its our choice and our choices will determine the result
