THE BLESSING BEHIND THE LESSON

In life, we experience good and bad; ups and downs; highs and lows. These experiences help to evolve our soul's growth. We may not understand why we endure hardships, but the hardships become the pillars in the foundation of our character. The pain is nothing in comparison to the mental and spiritual muscles that are strengthen as we face life's obstacles. We need to trust God and His plan for our lives.

The key is in recognizing the glory during the storm. Before the storm we enjoy the weather without appreciating the presence of the sunshine. During the storm we seek shelter, warmth and dry conditions while overlooking the seeds of our desires were planted, but neglected; in need of rain and nurturing. Then once the storm is over we tend to rejoice, thanking God for the sunshine, seeing the promise of Lord's blessing through the miracle of a rainbow... Reminding us of our dreams, desires, and hopes overlooked as a result of focusing on the storm versus the purpose in the process. Our storms are some of our greatest lessons. They show us what we lack and force us to change perspective to gain insight. They teach us to pay attention to our life's intention and how well we nurture the desires we seek.

We fail to recognize the presence of the storm allows us to focus on the future. Imagining what you're capable of achieving and actually living through it can be an amazing realization.

Experiencing the feelings of loss, guilt, or disappointment are the contrast life requires for us to acknowledge the glory of love, joy and the spirit of prosperity & abundance. There are lessons in our lives that shape the way we address adversity and challenges.

The most profound lessons are the ones that can never be prepared for, yet they tend to affect us the most.

God will allow us to be broken down, so He can rebuild us stronger than before. He allows us to hit rock bottom only to position us to focus our minds eye on God's glory.

Every hardship is not meant to break you because the very essence of your soul cannot be broken. You have felt the presence of laughter, hope and joy in spite of a broken heart. You have continued to achieve, conqueror, far beyond the point where you thought you would never make it...

You are not to be defined by your lessons, but admired for the

of knowledge gained from the lessons that have shaped the character of whom you are destined to become. We are unaware of our maximum strength until we reach our lowest point and we stay strong enough to move forward.

You are made to endure and prevail because you are destined to succeed. The testimony comes from recognizing the blessing behind the lesson. You are victorious by divine right!
