Doing Hard Things Well

John 5:20 “For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.”

Part of doing hard things well, isn’t just the change it causes in us but shows light to those around us. How we work through the hard stuff brings glory to God. 

I can think of many times when I walk through what feels like torture and I think about the father getting glory out of it. Honestly, my first reaction is REALLY!!! Is this necessary! Part of being able to get away from the Why me mentality and looking at the mountain and saying Greater things are ahead over this mountain and this mountain is going to teach me something for that greater part of my journey. 

God gets more glory out of us being a success and conquering the mountains in front of us. The light shines brighter in the darkness when you lean on the true light to guide you out. When we live our life full of trust for the loving kindness of God and that He will work all things together for our Good, it takes what was meant to destroy us and springs up a well of courage, joy, and faithfulness to see us victorious. 

I know in my own walk with Christ I have lived so idle in moments where God was waiting for me to Run. Taking seriously what God has purposed us for causes Heaven to Invade earth. We don’t just live to see heaven someday and meet our maker by the skin of our teeth. No he gave His son to conquer the power of death in our lives. He sent Him to spring up a abundant life in us for the taking. Its not just about going to church and sitting hearing but encountering the power that Jesus came to fulfill in our lives. The way it was meant to be. Heaven is all around us and its up to us to walk in it. To work through the death in our life to see the New Life spring up. 

We can sit and wallow in all the brokenness that lays in our life or around us or we can climb out of the pits and get a different perspective. When the spirit of God tells us to move, we move. Don’t wait for another moment the equipping, the grace to move you out is there for the taking.
