Your Testimony Is The Fruit Of Your Trial.....It Is The "Good" That Comes Out Of What You Are Going Through.....

Do you remember the times of asking God where He is when you are going through?  You may be asking Him that now.    The times where it seems like no matter how hard you try .... nothing seems to be working out.    Where it seems like everything is coming at you all at once.    Like the world is closing in and there is nothing you can do about it.    The times where you know the word and you are trying to hold on to the word .... but the word just doesn't seem to be working.    Understand today that God is still there.   He has not left you .... He has not forgotten you.    We have to trust Him when He says that He will never leave us ... nor forsake us.   We have to trust Him when He says that He is working out all things for our good.   Yes its hard .... its hard to watch what we feel is our life coming apart.   But we have to trust that the one who created us ... knows what is best  for us.   That He knows what needs to be on our foundation in order for us to stand strong.    We have to trust that whatever we are going through will not only help us ... but our testimony will help others who are going through the same thing.

No it's not a good feeling to go through.   But it is a good feeling to help someone else get through.   To be able to give our testimony and tell someone else about the power of the blood and the goodness of God.    To be able to see and reflect on how God brought you through and what He is doing now in your life .... so that others can see that they can can also make it.    So that they can see that God has not forgotten them.   That God loves them.   That God "will" work everything together for their good.    Some people can't make it without your testimony.   So understand today that silence is not an option.   The devil tries to make you feel ashamed of what you have been through so that you won't share it with anyone else.   When you do that .... you take the part that God meant for "good" and you hide it so that the fruit is never received by the person for whom it was intended.   Your testimony is the fruit of your trial.   It's not meant for you.   Don't allow your fruit to go bad based on your inability to share what you have through.

What Do You Do When You Are Not Sure What To Do?

In the midst of all the trials that come with life, what do you do when you don’t know what to do?   Do you quit?   Do you give in?   Do you...
