Are you looking to God by the things you see or the things you know?
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Often times, we are faced with difficult situations that seem impossible to handle.
We fix on what we are seeing at the moment and not looking at what God could be doing.
For example: Cancer has been a disease that has reoccurred throughout my life.
It started as far back as I can remember when my grandmother, passed away from cancer.
Then, it proceeded to several more family members from me.
Its easy to get overwhelmed with frustration and anger with God.
But the thing is events in our lives sometimes are not always explainable until you see the big picture.
God has a plan for each of us.
After years of reflecting, my purpose wouldn't be the same thing if I hadn't experienced all the thing leading up to this very point. As I plan to work with children and their families in the hospital, I know that my experiences are going to help them just as much as me.
Experiences are what cultivate who we are and become our testimonies.
Have you looked back and thought about the times when you thought God was far away only to figure out now that, he was carrying you through it?
Your circumstances are not in control of your life, God is.
Remember what God's character is like and constantly remind yourself of his goodness.
This is a video of cardboard testimonies from a ministry called Emmaus.
Each persons testimony is powerful, just like your testimony.
They really focus on God's character.
What part of God's Character do you hold on to each day?
