Blossoming In Our Difficult Moments

BY JESSICA MORNEAULT

I believe that God wants us to take away a lesson from every difficult situation. He wants us to grow and blossom from moments that set us back. When I look at the closed buds shown in this photograph, I think of how we, as sisters, can be closed off at times. We are bound by things that hurt us. We choose to dwell on the past or allow negativity to replay in our mind. The enemy is always trying to filter in information that keeps us off balance, but God can use all things. Look at how the Lord grew you in your faith, how He stretched your ability to be patient and how He taught you how to forgive. He may have given you a testimony that will help countless others. Consider what you are letting into your mind and how it affects your ability to move forward, your sleep, and your peace. Release it all to God and reflect on your growth from the experience. As you allow Him to work in your life, you are sure to blossom into something beautiful.
