And I remember he took me through a season of separation and isolation.
Nobody was around me. I couldn't do very much for myself. I had to depend on God. I had to depend on him to sustain me financially, emotionally. I had to depend on him in very many ways that I relied on myself and other people for.
And I never gave him an opportunity to show me that he could be those things. He allowed those things to stop happening so that I went through what I looked at as suffering, but what he looked at as an opportunity to demonstrate and grow our relationship.
We have to stop looking at suffering as always suffering. Like sometimes suffering is just an opportunity for God to show us who he can be for us. Sometimes suffering is just an opportunity for God to reveal to us his love for us or to build us and strengthen us.
And it hurts and it's not easy and it makes you feel like you're suffering. But really it's just a transition and it's helping you to become a new creation in Christ through the process of pain, through the process of brokenness. And he doesn't crush you in your brokenness, but he gently rearranges your pieces.
If there is anything that you are confused about or you have questions, open up your word. Go to the word of God because the word of God has the answers to whatever it is that you're seeking for. Man don't know everything, but God knows all things.
This is why the Bible tells us to study to show ourselves approved because many people are being deceived because they are taking the word of man versus what God is saying to them.
The Bible has everything that you need to know.
Seek God for yourself and God will speak to you. God will open up your understanding to all things.
