During my quiet time this morning, the Lord placed a word on my heart π¬ to share with you all.
While meditating, the Holy Spirit reminded me that not all opposition or challenges are necessarily bad βοΈ. Sometimes, God allows difficulty in certain seasons to refine us π₯, sharpen us π οΈ, and prepare us for whatβs next. He may be stripping something awayβor adding something new π±.
π βTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away; behold, the new has come!β β2 Corinthians 5:17
We are reminded in π Romans 5:3-5 that suffering produces perseverance, and perseverance builds character and hope. James 1:12 calls us to see trials as opportunities to develop endurance, promising the crown π of life to those who remain steadfast. And in Galatians 6:9, weβre urged not to grow weary in doing good, because in due season, we will reap a harvest πΎβif we do not give up.
Let this be a reminder: He who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it. πͺπ½ β...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.β βPhilippians 1:6
Trust that everything is working out for your good ππ½. π Romans 8:28 says, βAnd we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.β
One practical way to assess your spiritual growth is by reflecting on the fruit of the Spirit π found in π Galatians 5:22β23: love β€οΈ, joy π, peace ποΈ, patience β³, kindness π, goodness π«, faithfulness ππ½, gentleness π€²π½, and self-control π§π½. Ask the Lord, βWhere am I in this area?β and trust meβHe will lovingly speak to you π.
Iβm praying that you have an amazing day π, full of clarity, courage, and confidence in Him π‘π‘οΈπ£.
If this message blesses you ππ½, Iβd love to invite you to join our growing community of Christian leaders π. We meet for prayer, equipping, and real conversations.
