Sorrow and Trials

  When loosing someone close we don’t know what God’s plans are, but we take great comfort in His unchanging word. God knows best what cross we need to bear, and we never know how heavy someone else’s cross may be. Sorrow reveals unknown depths of the soul, and unknown capacities for suffering and service. I believe sorrow is God’s tool to plow the depths of our soul, that it may richer harvest. Sorrow causes us to take time to think deeply and seriously. The pressure of difficult times makes us value life. Every time our life is spared and given back to us after a trial, is like a new beginning. We better understand it’s value and move forward cleaning closer to God. 


As hard as it is to see in those difficulties times. The difficulties are need to press us forward in faith. It makes us realize how every moment of life is important. How it makes you want to tell people about Christ and be the salt and light in the earth. One day, you will see the fruit of your trial and you will be filled with thanksgiving. God of all comfort and love heals the wounds and draws you close to Him. What a comfort it is to know that one day our dear Jesus will wipe every tear and there won’t be the hurt we expireance today.


 Soon, Inside you will be filled with thanksgiving and your eye’s water and tears stream down your cheek. What an amazing, indescribable God! Thank you for your love and mercy everyday! Thank you for all of the small things I forget to mention and take for granted! I need more of those reminders of how small I am and how big our God is. Thank you Lord for the trials you have put in my life. The journey you may be taking right now will never be without a purpose. God is walking with you every step of the way
