Difficulties are a part of life!

You are not weak but rather strong and able to go through the difficulties of life. Don’t allow your mind to tell you otherwise! There is always a purpose for the pain and harsh times.  This is the moment to stand tall and push through it in the best way possible. Believe there is always a lesson for you to learn.  Don’t be hard headed and continue to go through the same pain again and again.  Learn from it, grow from it and remember that if you don’t want to go through that same experience again, something has to change!  We all need to learn our lesson so it doesn’t have to be repeated. 

I guess sometimes the bigger question to ask yourself is:  Are you bringing the pain upon your self?  When you are experiencing any degree of hurt and pain, maybe that is the time to examine yourself.  Try to discover what is the bigger picture for you and figure out what you need to do to improve your life in all areas.  Maybe you need to improve your outlook and attitude, improve your behavior towards yourself and towards others and even quite possibly take a look at the environment in which you live, work and play.  Possibly your purpose is to inspire others and help them improve their perspective in life so they, too, can heal.

You can come out of your difficulties bitter or you can come out better! We all make choices and we all experience pain and challenges; it would be wiser to go through them with ease and grace instead of resentment and anger.  We often think that everything is going against us and we are not understanding the “WHY” something is happening.  Usually the ‘why’ is not in our control, but instead is the experience we needed to go through if we are expecting to face our true destiny. 

God always has a plan for our experiences and that is why I am asking you to find a purpose for your pain.  Examine your situation and see what the bigger picture is that you need to learn from.  Sometimes God allows certain situations because we are the ones who are the catalyst for change and God is using us to be that change in the world. 

Make it a mission to pass your test through your difficulties and become your own testimonial for a better life.  Don’t waste your difficulties rather use them to learn from, see how they can alter your life and some how create the change that is needed.  Everything happens to us for a reason, Isn’t it time for you to learn your real reason for being and place your faith and trust in the Lord?  Believe that He’s got your back and with time your eyes will see and your heart will know ‘why’ you needed to face that situation.  A new highpoint in your life is about to be birth!
