Trials and tribulations come with both a purpose and a reward. "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." "Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him" (James 1:2-4,12).

by way of fact putting God outdoors of guy is a thank you to foster authority. Separatism is the single undertaking that retains mankind interior the ineffective of nighttime- that's the bushel set over the lantern, the shroud interior the indoors sanctuary. Fundamentalists ARE the Pharisees of previous. remember, i do no longer say this to insult or degrade. each guy or woman is this international serves a purpose as we are all God capability yet, propagating the thought guy is a 'sinner' stunts our organic ability. are you able to think of what could take place if all of mankind unexpectedly understood his genuine ability, if he understood that we are all the Trinity- techniques (Father), physique (Son), and spirit (Holy Spirit)- and that no longer something can give up us from growing to be our lives the way we see greater healthful? Dogmatic society and the mummy Church could fall down by way of fact mankind could ultimately understand that no longer something could desire to maintain him from giving and receiving love, from growing to be his needs, and he could ultimately see that the international is a playground. In different words, humanity could settle for finished duty and embody the sunshine interior. As you probable understand, embracing gentle is acknowledging that the capability outdoors ourselves lies interior of as nicely- there's no separation. This became into the genuine message of Christ and that's a volatile one, for what could take place to the oppressors if all of us stripped away the veil and regarded on the international with the aid of resurrected eyes? Annihilation...

Our difficulties in life, encourage us to come so very close to God....to rely on HIS strength and leadership, rather than our own. Whatever struggles we go through....they are to teach us something that we have needed to learn. Of course theyr'e not very nice at the time.....pain never is.....but AFTERWARD...it brings forth the peaceable fruits of righteousness....to THOSE who have allowed themselves to surrender to Him, and to look up and leaning their whole personality on the very One who created them and everything, in the first place.
You either love God and His way of doing things or not. If not, then there will always be a big painful struggle.....its like having one arm in a clean fresh jacket, and trying to put a dirty old jacket on the other arm. Its rediculous, isn't it?
When we decide to give God a go, and get right with Him about it, then we are asking Him to work with us, so as we can get to know and understand His way much better....because we want to truely LOVE Him, and become so much like Him in the wonderful qualities which He has.
Of course...we can expect to get all the rough edges sanded down, which we have in our own characters, and thats great! Its a bit like learning at school...then you sit for the tests, and depending how you go, you either get to advance onto the next level....OR...go round the mountain and have to do it all again!!! Either way, if we're earnest in wanting to please God, then we will be happy to learn and take lessons....God is so very patient and loving, and is so prepared to work with us to become better people......but the question is......are we prepared to trust Him enough, to allow Him to work and mould us into the image He desires to see?
Believe HIM. It is worth it!!!

Sometimes it's hard to "let go and let God." But I have reached a point in certain situations where I just handed the problem over to God, told Him I could not deal with it and asked Him to lead me in the right direction. It works, but you have to relinquish control and LISTEN carefully for answers.

Our difficulties in life challenge us to overcome them and having faith in whatever version of god you believe in seems to make life easier...at least for me....
I know that i am here to learn life lessons and to develop certain skills, knowledge and wisdom that my soul may retain for the next go around!

Guess that explains all those street corner prophets and the "Bag Ladies For Jesus" brigades.

There is no struggle, the effort is prayer.
The reason is He never has forsaken anyone.
