"Wrestling with God"

"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit."

This statement is only true if you will let it be. We can learn, (maybe the hard way) that life is full of these times, and how we respond to them will "Make us or Break us".
We saw another one-liner one day that really had a truth in it, we will never forget. It said; “As a Christian our life on earth will be the only hell we will ever experience…but for a non-Christian…this will be the only heaven they will ever know.” That’s a powerful thought.
We’ve all had our fair share of adversity, failure and yes heartache, but we can’t let them take us out or down for very long, otherwise the enemy of our lives will just build on them till we’re totally taken out. We’re so thankful, that the Lord carries us through everyone one of these.
Like Joshua in the Old Testament story, he wrestled with God and gained the victory.
When we go through struggles and wrestle with God to get the Blessing, whether it's in relationships, health or financial struggles, as someone watches us deal with these problems, we can be trusted by others because of how we handled ourselves through them.
We have found in our lives that the benefit in these times for us, has given us more grace for others that are going through the trails of life. We can come along side them with words of encouragement not judgments. We can be the ones who lift them out of the ditch that they have fallen into, and watch them do the same someday for someone else.
That’s how it works saints; the benefits you received have to be sown back in to others. Always remember that whatever might be happening to you is not just for your benefit only, that would be such a waste if it were so…but you have to be willing to share your circumstance transparently, so that others will gain from your experience, example and leadership.
Trust the Lord that, adversity, failure and heartaches, can be a blessing for you and for others.
You don’t need to pray that these will come so that you will be used; they are just part of life, here on earth, but thankfully not in heaven.
Can’t wait till Jesus comes back, we are so looking for His return. Aren’t you?
