There are a variety of struggles we endure in life, emotional, physical, financial. Count it all joy because beauty is being uncovered behind the struggle. Through trials, it is difficult to see anything beautiful when all you feel is pressure. The reality is our feelings are not trustworthy indicators. When the going gets tough I sometimes allow my feelings to get the best of me. Typically when that happens I have to remind myself of what is real and true in the present moment. My feelings escalate things in a chaotic way, hence, another reason why feelings are not trustworthy. I must remember there is beauty on the other side. It is through the struggle I maintain the depth of my relationship with Christ. I find it easier to rely on God when the going gets tough, I find myself wanting to bask in His presence every moment. There is something about the struggle that keeps me connected to His divine power. When I am down, he comforts me, when I am in need of a friend He counsels me. There is something about His presence that keeps me at ease. No matter how much I struggle emotionally, spiritually, He is always willing to take me just how I am. The reason I mention this is because the struggle is one of many ways I am connected to Christ. When the pressures of life are weighing you down look up and remember who your provider is, your redeemer, restorer, healer. Victory belongs to Him.
