God Girl Life

When we face heartache and hurt we want to blame God. We don’t understand it. We ask why is this happening? I don’t have the answers but I do know that whatever we face, God is already working it out. We are only seeing pieces and parts of His plan. God loves us more than we could ever understand. He always uses our hurts and heartaches for OUR good. We only have to trust Him during the wait. Good ALWAYS comes from it. He will make all the hurts and heartache into something beautiful.

So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives. Romans 8:28 (TPT)

Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with hope! Romans 15:13 (TPT)

This week God has shown me no matter how hard I try, I can’t fix the hard things going on with the people I love. But, I can pray and trust God. I can be there giving love and encouragement. I can’t fix things but God can and I know He will.

Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done. This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—believe that you have received it and it will be yours. Mark 11:22-24 (TPT)

Life isn’t hard as it seems. It’s our choices that make it feel that way. We strive to walk in God’s will but when we stray from His path, there’s always a lesson to be learned. But be encouraged, God will always use them for our good.

The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT)

For every bad thing, there is at least ten good things happening all around us. When we keep our minds on the bad things, we become negative. All that negativity affects our daily life and those around us. Stop focusing on the bad and concentrate on the good. When we do, our day will change and maybe even for the people around us. Never know, all those good thoughts might even change the world!

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may be innocent and pure as God’s perfect children, who live in a world of corrupt and sinful people. You must shine among them like stars lighting up the sky. Philippians 2:14-15 (GNT)

Over the past few weeks I’ve noticed there seems to always be a battle going on in my life. It feels like one ends and another is there staring me in the face trying to steal my happiness.

Scripture tells us we WILL have battles. So we may as well try to be happy in the moment. Try looking for the positives that come with it. Battles are molding us to be more like Jesus. It’s also building our faith. Life’s battles are tough but when we trust Jesus and let him do the fighting, our peace and happiness will outshine anything we face. Spoiler alert…Jesus wins in the end!

Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. James 1:2-4 (MSG)

I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” John 16:33 (MSG)
