I felt like this was too amazing not to share with you. It's a quote from Graham Cooke:
"Everything that God is doing in our lives is intentionally relational. To walk with Him, therefore, we must also be intentionally relational- with Him and with others. God, in His wisdom, allows what He could easily prevent by His power. In everything, He is constant and in charge: sometimes He leads us into situations that are brilliant, and other times, He leads us into things that are difficult. But God's commitment to us never wavers. Every situation in life is about God wanting to give Himself to us. Right now, our lives could be good, bad, or ugly, but we can be joyful knowing that God has designed our current circumstances to enable us to see a part of Him that we couldn't see at any other time.... We must see what Jesus wants to be for us in every situation."
We have all experienced and will experience difficult circumstances. God doesn't put us there to make us suffer. He is calling us higher to, instead of asking the "why me" question, turn to Jesus and see what He wants to be for us in that situation. He'll meet you right where you are and He'll lift you out, bring you joy, bring you peace, and deliver you from your hurt if you ask Him. My prayer for you is you wouldn't focus on your circumstances but you'd focus on your relationships, both with God and the people around you... that you wouldn't be defined by your circumstances but defined by your relationship with Christ and those around you. Focus on who Jesus wants to be for you right where you are and rejoice that He is constantly wanting to reveal more of Himself to you in every situation you encounter! Love you, Bubba!
