We give ourselves to God to do with as He sees fit. We tell Him, "Mold me for Your purposes, Your will." Then we complain because the molding is painful, unpleasant, uncomfortable. Be ready , change is not always easy. It is usually at best uncomfortable. Are we giving God reign in our lives or not?
we know we are not where we should be. We need to understand the path from where we are to where we need to be is hard, uphill at times, lonely at times. But God does not put us through unnecessary trials. As a matter of fact sometimes we make them longer than necessary by not responding properly.
Prov 12:1 Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
Prov 13:18 Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction, but he who regards a rebuke will be honored.
Prov 3:11-12 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest His correction: For whom the Lord loves He corrects, just as a father the son in whom He delights.

Sherry,
I'm glad I found your blog.
God certainly does not put us through unnecessary trials. The mountain looks high from the bottom when we are at such a place a times when we are struggling to reach the top. I've faced many trials in my lifetime, but I know that God's grace is sufficient enough to get me through them.
Thank you for this post.
Blessings,
Nancy C.
