Reflection on being a child of God...

We have much to learn as the children of God, the most difficult perhaps is to learn how to regard our trails and tribulations, even the tragedies that beset us as capable of enhancing and enriching our lives.

Whereas God does not send them, He does permit them and He can use them to draw us closer to Him and thereby accomplish His purposes in and through us.

We desperately need the wisdom to accept these painful happenings with graciousness, even with joy knowing that whatever they may be, God has the ability to transform them from ugliness to beauty, from the plots of satan designed to destroy into the purposes of God destined to do us good.

The key is a genuine faith in a loving God. A faith that frees us and strengthens us to endure whatever may come our way...
