“Trust God in all difficulty . . .the darkest places allow us to see more of his light.”C.S. Lewis
When I am in the midst of a tough time, I certainly don’t think like this. My first thought usually isn’t “I am so thankful for this struggle ‘cause I know God is going to change me through it!” More than likely, I am trying to find a way out of it. I don’t like pain. I don’t like challenge. I like smooth sailing, easy going, peaceful living.
But as I look back over my life, the quote reveals the truth. God is in the middle of it all and I have seen His light shine brightly in those dark places. I would recognize it after the crisis had passed and I could look back on it with some objectivity. Now, it is getting easier to see Him while I’m in the center of the storm.
Are you going through a tough time? Can you take a moment, quiet yourself, and ask “Where can I sense Jesus in the middle of this? If you can’t ask Him to reveal that to you, ask Him to speak to you. Ask Him to allow you to see His light shine more clearly in the darkness.
Grace and peace,
Deb
