I am going through this place in order to get to a better place.
Fun? NO
Enjoyable? NO
Like it? NO
Looking forward to it? NO
Want others to go there to? NO
Necessary? Absolutely...it's the only way!
But I have to go through these crazy storms in order to get to where I want to go. Where do I want to go? In a word PEACE! Specifically God's peace. So why are the storms necessary? I don't have all the answers yet but there are four concepts I am sure of:
- Trust God completely with my life
- Obedience in God's word
- Priorities by putting Jesus above all else
- Selfless with others before me
And these just are not fancy buzz words or "yeah that's really cute speaker-boy..." type noisy conversations; but rather concepts seeping deep into my spirit.
So maybe your storms are not so bad? Possibly your adversity is a good thing? Could it be that your tough times are really disguised as opportunities? Maybe it's all intentional to get you from that place over to this place....just like I am going through now.
