God is so good, even through hard times... HE is good. For awhile I was really struggling with the fact that when I go through trials, I thought that God was punishing me and trying to just do it because He wanted to do it, and other reasons.
But yesterday, I went to youth group and my youth pastor happened to be speaking on this topic. WE are starting to go through James, and literally this book of the BIble has been super good for me to be in.
My youth pastor gave us all these points to think about and one of them was that, when we do go through trials... IT doesn't mean that God is punishing us... That was one of the big points that hit me. To know that, it really is encouraging.
BUt to know that when we do go through trials, it means that God is wanting to change us and to grow closer to Him through that time.
God is truly amazing! I know that I have been going through a lot lately... But to be completely honest, I would NEVER TRADE it for the world. Yes, sometimes going through some of this stuff is really hard and difficult. But once I get to the other side of it, I just thank God.
Thank you Lord for being willing to change me and love me still. :)
