I hear that...I have gone from having a house, a wife, three kids, the bigger nice house the consistent job for 30 plus years to now having nothing.....I lost my Job due to a fall of 28 feet off a ladder. I am not totally disabled however so I need to work still disability is not in my bank statements lets say. My wife has asked for a divorce. And I will lose my house now. Yet while I found myself after a disagreement with my wife on my concrete garage floor with nothing but a free weight piece as my pillow... God came down to me and Whispered.."why Are you holding on to your despair with such white knuckles...let Go!...and grip onto me for I have plans to prosper you not harm you, plans to give you Hope and a future."....His unconditional love broke me like a twig. Tears and confession and praise filled that garage until I stood up a new man. And today I have a choice I can either do things in my own strength, peter out and falter, or I can believe God when He says ... " The battle is His"..God Has given me new character.He has given me His nature... From my struggles God has turned a horrible thing into a purely beautiful thing. A place I would never had gotten to without this struggle. This struggle was not His preference but He was in the midst of it all. My thirst For Christ is at a place I have never been before..and I love people wholly and I now see things thru Gods eyes...I now live as scripture says ...To live is Christ and to Die is gain...For if God is for us who can be against us?
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, Character; and Character, Hope. And Hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts thru the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
