"These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold- through your faith is far more precious than m

In our walk with Christ we all sometimes go through some sort of struggle. We experience some sort of pain due to lack of self confidence status and what people say and do to us. But honestly just recently I realized what those curve balls in life what their true meaning is. Above all else we worship God and give thanks to him when times are good? But what about those times when we go for days or even walks of constant failure or uncertainty or even lack of self confidence. For the past couple of days I personally have gone through this. The summer has been great but I like to stay busy on whats ahead. I like to keep myself occupied.

Anyways how we deal with pain or uncertainty in our personal lives is a sign of two things. One it is a sign of our strength in the love of Jesus Christ. Second it is used as a testimony to the amazing power that his love and compassion has. The same sinless man who died on the cross is with his followers through thick and thin. As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we fear nothing. He is relentless in his power of grace and righteousness. How do I know that? It is through the holy spirit and the past couple of days even though there has been no FUSE or SUB30, he is still there. When it is all quiet, when I am surrounded by nothing but him, in candlelight, he is there.

As Christians in our walk if we stay steadfast cheerful and optimistic that Christ will get us through our day or week of struggle, he will bless us in many ways you could not think of. Through that pain and struggle he will transform you. There has to be a test to be a testimony to inspire others. And remember any story, any testimony, plays a small but significant role in the kingdom of God. From a story that inspires a co worker, to a pastor testimony that inspires an entire church.
