For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.
~Titus 2:11-12
Everything happens for a reason. You're going through it now because God is preparing you for something great. He is in the process of molding you into a beautiful and functional jar of clay.
BE STILL
When you desire Christ above all things, you implicitly show that Christ is valuable, precious, desirable, a treasure. The more intensely you desire Him and the more suffering you are willing to endure without losing your satisfaction in Him, the more valuable you show Him to be.
Q: What is it like to be a Christian?". A: It's like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He removes the seeds, then he carves you a new smiling face, and puts his light inside of you to shine for all the world to see".
The thought of my suffering and hopelessness is bitter beyond words, yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: THE UNFAILING LOVE OF GOD NEVER ENDS.
When life gets broken, when you're in despair
He'll carry your burden when it's too much to bear
It's down in the valley where He'll give you strength
And there is nothing you have lost that He can't replace
He'll help you start all over again
When life gets broken.
