Be Grateful for Your Problems

March 23, 2014March 25, 2014 olgavictoria

Many times the problems or challenges we face force us to grow and become more capable. The runner who trains for the mile run in the Olympics by running downhill will have no chance of winning the medal. The runner who trains by running uphill is far more likely to develop the speed, mental toughness and endurance which it takes to win the medal.

The next time you encounter a difficult climb, obstacle, “problem,” you should smile and say, “Here’s my chance to grow.” Develop that kind of an attitude and I will SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

By Zig Ziglar

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

Eckhart Tolle

“Let go of all the things that worry you, be present in the blessings you have. Life is a series of incredible miracles…don’t forget you are one of them.”

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Colossians 3:12-25

Colossians 3:12-25

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body.

And be thankful.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward.

You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

Who Are We in God’s Eyes?

The only way we can know the truth is through studying the Bible and spending our quiet time with God. No matter how many books you have read, how many devotionals you went through or how many sermons you listened to, we won’t have close relationship with God until we make it our own. If our friends would tell us many things about someone whom we have never met, would we be best friends with that person? It probably wouldn’t be easy. It takes much time and effort to build a strong and long-lasting friendship. You have to know someone in person and spend time with him to be able to trust him and call him your friend! Do you agree?

By studying the Bible and praying you can and will experience a new level of friendship with your Creator. It’s all about you and Him. It’s your relationship with God and you can make it as strong as you wish. It’s in your hands. All I want to do is to inspire you to get strong in your faith and gain a new perspective on your life. We can gain complete confidence and spiritual and emotional freedom by knowing exactly who we are in Christ! No one and no circumstances determine our value and worth, but only God and Him only. To be able to live free, we need to know the truth and stand strong on it! We need to hold on to it tightly and remind ourselves daily who we are and what our purpose in life is.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.…
