Sometimes, in our suffering, we forget that God is on our side and that He takes good care of us. So here are some reminders of how God can work to transform our suffering into blessings.
The attitude of an overcomer
We sometimes consider a Christian to be strong and victorious if they do not seem to be living any suffering, if everything seems easy to them, or if they are supplied with material goods. But is that a good way to look at it?
Seeds to harvest joy
Unanswered prayers, missed opportunities, broken hearts… many circumstances can make us shed tears. But in the hands of God, these tears are seeds that will give us joy later.
When it hurts to follow God
Sometimes we quickly read the verses in Romans 12 that talk about being a living sacrifice. Because being a sacrifice is not fun. Then it is not easy to find joy in Christ when it is painful to follow Him.
Celebrate the Lord!
In our religious or personal activities, we are used to the idea of worshipping God, taking a time of reverence and thankfulness. But the idea of ”celebrating God” is a little less common and perhaps even a little misunderstood.
