God uses everything we go through. He uses our good stuff and our bad stuff he uses all our stuff! I am learning to be thankful that God is growing me, even in spite of the fact that I may not be enjoying the actual process. Today I was reading my bible and this is the passage the Lord showed me.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (Message) So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever.
So I take my lead from Jesus. In the garden He prayed "my Father if it is possible let this cup pass away from me, nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire. (Matt 26:39).
I will say I do not like my current circumstances, but I am confident that it will be used to shape something good. Thank you Lord for your promises!
