PROCESSING ⏳ 

A while ago, I was walking with a friend. A short time into our walk, the sky became dark gray and it started to rain heavily. We decided to go into a well known, fast food restaurant to get out of the rain, though we had only one euro coin between us. That wasn't enough money to buy food, which was required for us to be there. We needed to place an order to stay inside and truthfully, we were hungry. Thinking of how we could buy food without paying the full price, forced us to look for different opportunities; web sites, using an app, or discount codes. By doing this, we were both able to eat for only that one euro! The experience taught me a valuable lesson. The process of going through difficulty polishes your unique and marvelous qualities. It activates your sense of survival, making you a wiser, quicker-thinking person.

The process also unlocks us. In the beginning, it may looks like an obstacle , but it’s just the opposite. It doesn’t move you from your comfort zone, but it does remove the comfortability of the place where you are; forcing you to step back and use your innate senses.

The process changes you and helps you to order your priorities, and promotes you to a higher level. A familiar example is that pearl we discussed on Day 1. Then there's the grape, that gets trampled in the winery, processed and stored until it becomes wine.

Finally, the process shows you the supernatural reality that covers us. Is a tricky thing to try to explain how two opposite words like reality and supernatural, could be used in the same phrase and concept, but that's what it's about, turning your reality upside down so you can take root in heaven.

Let's decide to love each process in our life and understand their benefits in our walk with God, and don’t be discouraged! I assure you that the current sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in you. With the support of God, all is possible!

Let’s pray:

“Dear God, please help me to trust in you. I just want to be strong even when I cross through a storm. I want to keep my eyes on you. Help me to see the value of each process that you permit in my life, and to be a witness for every person around me. In Jesus's name, amen”.
