What You Say, Coach? God is a loving Father but He is also the master teacher. And just as we gain knowledge in school, we don’t keep that knowledge for ourselves. That knowledge is shared with our children, our family, coworkers, and friends.
The same should be true for the lesson we learn through the trials and battles we face. It is true that problems are there and have been a part of our lives. They cannot be avoided most of the time. But it is there for a reason. If the diamonds that are produced through the pressure of life are only held within the reserves of our minds and hearts, then how valuable are they really?
The fruit that is produced in our lives is meant to be picked. The experiences we go through are meant to then serve as navigation for those traveling down the same road. You heard me right. All that we go through is not solely for, or about, us. Some battles we fight are to condition us for the purpose that was assigned to our lives.
We are needed to help prepare others for the fight. We are needed to be that same support we needed in our own battle. We are needed to show the compassion He showed to us. We are needed to show His heart to the world. We are needed to show His redemptive power. We are needed to show the world that His resurrection power is in full effect and even when we counted ourselves out. His LOVE LIFTED US. We can overcome any trials!
