No one is exempt from trouble and heartache in this life. Trials are common to everyone. Unfortunately, many people have been overcome by bitterness and sorrow. Thankfully, however, many others have found spiritual and emotional victory. What makes the difference? What can make the difference for you and your loved ones? The Word of God gives us the pathway to that victory. It is available to those who really want it."I must see every person and every circumstance that ever comes into my life as the Holy Spirit of God coming to me through that person or through that circumstance to make me more like Christ." It is so easy to get focused on people and circumstances that we often miss the Lord. Seek the Lord. Look for His purpose and plan regarding what is happening in your life. If you seek Him, you will find Him. When you find Him, you will experience spiritual, emotional, and mental healing....Afterward, yes, praise the Lord, there is always an afterward. Sometimes in crisis we feel there will never be a way out. It's like we are peering into a deep dark hole without hope. The Lord wants us to look beyond the crisis to a time of comfort and restoration....We tend to think things happen TO us, but 2 Corinthians 4:15 teaches that things happen FOR us.
