Blessings are Behind the Struggle

My sister in Christ, you can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth you- Philippians 4:13.

The struggle is very real at times, to the point where I lose sight of the inevitable victory that I know in my spirit, is right around the corner. I know that the devil is here to kill, steal and destroy everything that God has preordained for you and I--but I'm here to remind you to stay standing because Jesus has given us life--the abundant life- John 10:10. When we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel--guess what? God is right in the midst of the "struggle"! He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young- Isaiah 40:11. Isn't that reassuring?! Lord, I thank You, for carrying us!

Listen, everyone wants the blessing, including me; however, in order to achieve the blessing, we have to glorify God through the struggle. I'm going to be very honest here--I don't want to give God the glory when I'm struggling--but I do, because I know He's working everything out for my good, which is stated in Romans 8:28. My sister, He's doing the same for you, so raise your hands and praise the "Great I Am"--your Savior!

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast"- 1 Peter 5:10. My sister, my friend, I promise you that joy will come in the morning, based on scripture- Psalm 30:5. We as strong women of God must humble ourselves, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you and I up in due time-1 Peter 5:6. Don't forget that the blessings are behind the struggles of life!!!
