Life always seems to be an adventure with a new bend and twist around the corner. I can't wait to see whats on the other side of this situation. Sometimes it is something that brings us joy or heartache, but either way, the Lord is stretching us, shaping us, breaking, us, and healing us, all to become more like HIM.
But I don't always view it that way!! Come on' I am human!! How easy is it to be involved in a car accident and jump out and praise the Lord right away while you are looking at your trashed car?!?!? It takes a moment for you to gather yourself together and then you change your perspective as you recognize that you are not DEAD, and that the other dirver is not, and that maybe it is not as bad as it oculd have been. This is a moment when you recognize that OUR FATHER in heaven is bigger than the car you hit, and HE has been watching over from you since before you were born.
Does it feel good to be broken? NO!! I have never broken a bone but my brother has and it was incredibly painful for him as he healed. The same as our Father breaks our pride, or when He allows us to fall, He wants us to get back up so we can learn that scrapes, bruises, and breaks heal. He desires for our will to strengthen so in the future we will not be broken by the same situation, we will have learned from the times in the past that He is our strength and rock that we can depend on. Praise the Lord for HIS security as we go through this amazing adventure.
