James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Ill start off by saying this I havent always trusted God like im supposed to, & sometimes I still dont. I wont ever tell you just because you become a Christian things get better in life, or things are always going to be great. im not saying that following Christ isnt better, because trust me following him is the best decision i ever made in life. Just because you're going through bad things, or you've been through bad things doesnt mean that God doesnt love you. because Trust me i know he does. i mean he came to die, FOR YOU, and me. The things us Christians go through now helps you grow in your relationship with God, even if you do get in an attitude at first he loves you anyways. He is always there, think of your trials as sharing in the suffering that Jesus went through while he was on the cross. He didnt deserve that, he was sinless, & perfect. You can always trust in God.
God has brought my family & i through countless trials, battles, financial problems, health problems, and just everything we thought would never get better.
- My dad has tons of health problems, in and out of the hospital a lot, but yet God has brought him through everyime the time his stomach ruptured, the doctor said it was a miracle that he was still living.
-When i was little they thought my mom had a cancerous tumor in her throat, but they went in to take it out and it wasnt. My church family at the time and my dad, were in there just Praising God.
-There was a time when I was in the fourth grade they found something wrong with the muscle in my leg, and there was two different kinds of this disease. If i had the bad kind it meant that i would never walk again and my whole muscle system would be completely shut down. My parents prayed and prayed, & God answered prayers. Im still walking.
Even though things life arent always great, & things dont always turn out the way I want the to, I know God has a plan, and purpost for everything. He is awesome, and he has brought my family and i through so much. I just want you to know that if you're reading this God is in control, stand on GRACE because thats what God has given us. He is always there, you can call on hime anytime. If you draw near to him, he will draw near to you.
Romans 8:28-32 "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. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
My point is I just want you to know that God loves you, & he always will.
