Today's the day where some people I know get their Postings. I really wonder how'd it'll be like when I am in Army.
Anyway, This week has been really awesome. The Stayover, Makeover & even the Muay Thai Class at FightG, was really an Awesome Experience.
As I was blogsurfing the other day I found this over at Fifi's Blog. It was really worth thinking about it.
"I asked for Strength,And God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.I asked for Wisdom,And God gave me Problems to solve.I asked for Prosperity,And God gave me Brain and Brawn to work.I asked for Courage,And God gave me Danger to overcome.I asked for Love,And God gave me Troubled people to help.I asked for Favors, And God gave me Opportunities.I received nothing I wanted, I received everything I needed!"Just as we face Troubles, Difficulties and Challenges,
God does it to help us grow.
We have all probably been told that a Christian Journey is not a sanctuary from Problems, but more of putting yourself vulnerable in a Pool of 'Sharks'. But in God's eyes, thats how much He wants you to learn and grow from, and how much He loves you.
"My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction; For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights." - Proverbs 3:11-12
Every single one of those 'Sharks', a problem in our lives, an opportunity in God's eyes.
I'm sure we all have our problems, whether we choose to deal with it or not.
But here's a perspective, that when the next time you see a problem, think about how God wants to see you grow from it & lastly, but certainly most importantly, its because He loves you.
