Relating With Trials
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” There is a reason for everything in Christ. We may go through hard times and experience trials, but God uses them for the good of his kingdom. That is so good! God has given me multiple opportunities now to relate to others because of the experiences I have been through. It is super sweet and allows me to connect more deeply with people. I can then share what I did during the trials and how God carried me through. How cool is it that we can help others who are going through what we have been through! God is the best! I am so glad that God has allowed me to relate to others differently! It is a sweet way to point it back to God and how good he is!
If you are going through a hard time, lean into God for strength because he will bring you through! Think about it…one day, you may be able to share that with others and help others come through the same trial! As Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun.” How amazing is it that the same trial can happen again, and you can help someone through it! It is such a blessing!
Sharing experiences that you have been through can be something small or big but either way, it can be a big help for someone going through it. I want to encourage you to look for opportunities to relate with people on a deeper level and share how you got through the hard times. It is the perfect way to bring God into the conversation and share his goodness!
