Embrace The Difficult!

God has a way of taking bad things and turning them into something useful. This past week, I was sidelined with pneumonia. And as miserable as I felt, God gave me two gifts: a powerful antibiotic and time to just read God’s Word. I needed time to simply read and reflect. It heals my soul! Sometimes, we miss the opportunities that troubles can bring.

In this marriage series, some of the turmoil in families is coming to the surface. This could feel bad, but it might also be the very opportunity you need to address an issue, to bring healing and to grow stronger! My encouragement is this: don’t shy away from the conflict that needs to happen. Instead, face the conflict with the grace of God, an honest look and a resolution to fight for a God-honoring resolution.

Embrace the difficult! It just may lead to something better!
