“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”- (anonymous)
God can use negative circumstances to bring about his Glory. I don’t think that God is the author of hardship or that he wills bad things for his people. However, entropy is the natural state of our world. Things fall apart. Gravity happens. Randomness strikes again and all may seem lost.
All is not lost. It is in the darkness that light can be seen in its purest, brightest form!
“We are pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed” – Romans 6:8-9
Masterpieces can come from hard times. If JK Rowling’s mom had not died, if she had not been suffering and poor, we probably wouldn’t have Harry Potter! Our hards times become part of who we are and can help us grow into compassionate, insightful people who get life’s hardships and can help others through tough times.
So, what is your gift? What is your story? What is your hardship? Can you use your hardship to nurture your gift or develop new gifts? Someday, you may use this…
