There are so many things that I just feel like giving up on in life. Sometimes it is because I think oh this isn't good for me and so instead of dealing with the heart issue I just give it up or quit. God calls us to persevere no matter what the times are. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (Romans 5:3-5 NIV). Relationships is something to me that can be a sore point for me if I don't give it to God. I am someone that always wants everybody to be happy and make sure their needs are met. I can get so much stress and anxiety from people! That is crazy! God gave us people to have fellowship in Him and not be lonely. Not to have issues. I am not saying I am perfect I always pray that I can do a better job at loving people. I just know there are many trials in our lives that can really hurt and be not fun to go through but God can shine His light the most when we give those times to Him and say Lord I still rejoice in you and your unfailing love. Not just to go to Him to solve our problems or when we need Him but to earnestly seek Him when we feel like failures, not good at school, friendship problems, or anything else. When we are most humbled we can do Gods greatest work. I know I have messed up so many different things in my life and caused issues but God has given me the grace to fix them and He has put me on a path of His righteousness. I am not perfect but He is!! God can get through any tough situation or dilemma or problem!
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4 NIV).
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. (1 Chronicles 16:11 NIV).
God is so good and always has a warm loving fatherly heart to give us!!
