OVERCOMING ADVERSITY

You will lean more from adversity than from prosperity.
Here's a question about God that's at the top of everyone's list:How can a loving God allow pain and suffering?That's a legitimate question,and you should be ready to answer it (warning :it's not easy).
God did not create evil or pain or suffering.He created human beings who were perfect and perfectly free to choose or not to choose God. That's the good news. The bad news is that the perfect humans chose evil over God, therefore introducing sin and its consequences into the world (Rom.5:12). But all was not lost.
God gave us more Good News,this time in the person of Jesus,who overcame evil and brought us God's forgiveness ( Rom. 5:15). He suffered on our behalf and knows what it's like for us to suffer. Jesus is the One who makes it possible to lean from from and ultimately overcome our adversity.
Since he himself has gone through suffering and temptation, he is able to help us when we are being tempted.
HEBREWS 2:18

  1. I like to think that my pain and my illnesses have taught me and without them I could not have learned the things I did.
