Life can be tough. Sometimes for no apparent reason we struggle through a seemingly endless array of difficulties. Is there a reason? Is there a purpose in our pain? With all life has dealt me over the past few months, I can answer a resounding YES!
There is a two-fold reason we face trials - that we will grow to spiritual maturity and that God will be glorified above all else. If that is the case, I would not trade a moment of what I've been through...not even the darkest. For it was in the very lowest moments He carried me closest to His heart. Am I growing? I believe so. Is He being glorified? That is my fervent prayer.
So if my pain brings Him even a fraction of the glory He deserves, then I say, "Jesus bring the rain!"

Yes, if it brings Him glory, bring the rain!
ReplyDeleteSometimes seeing the glory when the rain is really heavy is a major task. That's when trust comes in and we let go of what "makes sense."
Love you, friend.
