The Good, The Bad, The Blessing

When a bone is broken it heals stronger than before, when we work hard with our hands at first they may hurt but soon they become callused and tough. The heart and the body are the same in this way, every time we are hurting, or broken there is an opportunity to grow. In every relationship we go through time or strife and anger, but by working through that we not only learn more about each others true feeling we learn how to care for each other better. Too often people see these problems and avoid them but they do not go away by pretending they do not exist, we only amplify the actual issue. The thing about working through issues with one another is being able to care for and understand one another and to ultimately forgive each other.

But how do we learn to carry this out? The life of Jesus is all we need, his example of how he lived and crucified himself was Gods ultimate resolve. Gods has one true love...us. But there was a problem, he needed to be able to understand what we are going through, to see what its like to be tempted in a human body. God put himself in the shoes of a sinner so that he may truly fix our relationship with him. Just as God lived here on this earth to understand what we go through we must strive to know him better to complete what he did, his ultimate "im sorry" his sacrifice.

The closer i grow to God the more i am humbled and the more i understand his love for me. We are all closer to God because of what he went through, in the same way when we work through tough time we grow stronger. God can bless through both good and bad things

"Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike,

realize that both come from God" Ecclesiastes 7:14

As the heart is challenged with difficulties it must rely more upon God and his love, when we are drained of all of our love, all of our forgiveness, all of our care God has all of these in abundance. In this way we grow closer with God and closer to those that surround us.
