Trust in the TrialsSample

You Are Fully Known and Loved By God

Sometimes the ache in your heart nags at you and reminds you of what you used to have. You push yourself past your painful circumstances, but some nights you fall asleep with tears running down your face; hiding from others because you have had to be strong for so long.

God whispers his love letter in your ears and reminds you to trust who he is. He is the God who showed the moon where to hide until evening. The one who made the walls fall with a shout. The God who turned the sea into a highway. The one who blanketed the morning grass with bread from the heavenly storehouse. He is the God who heals, raises the dead to life, and holds time in his mighty hands. 

That is the God you serve.

Sometimes the field you are standing in seems so vast and wide and your assignment in this season seems so long. You wonder how much longer you can smile and keep going. But just know that the obstacles you have been encountering are making you stronger.

In the lonely moments, remind yourself that God is faithful and his love is everlasting. No person can fill your empty soul, only Jesus can do that. The devil will also whisper in your ear telling you that you don't matter, no one cares, and that God doesn't see you—but he is a liar. 

The enemy will attack you, but it is time to fight back, not back down, and don't give in. Remember who you are, who you serve, and how big our God is.

I know your skin is burning from the flame of this trial. Try and embrace the process of being gold that needs refined by the fire. Before you know it, the valley becomes the mountain, the storm becomes a sprinkle, and the dark of night is replaced by the light of the sun. 

Hold on, your deliverance is coming!
