If you are going to go through something, you might as well grow through it. Make the most of every experience in life and let it prepare you for your next steps.
The way you see your circumstances shapes the way you respond, which shapes the way things unfold. Trust God. See your circumstances settled in Christ and approach things with His grace and peace.
God loves us just as we are. However, He doesn’t want us to stay the same. He wants us to grow and rise higher in life. You can’t expect increase and not expect change.
We all face times of discouragement, but we have to guard our thoughts by meditating on God’s goodness and faithfulness. Don’t let discouragement hold you back from the blessing in your future.
Let’s focus on what we have in common with one another. Sure, we all have differences, but when we dwell on the unity of faith, God commands the blessing.
When things seem beyond your control, turn to the one who holds the future in the palm of His hands. Seek Him first and trust Him with your whole heart.

“Rejoice in the Lord always...don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God‘s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.” (Philippians 4:4-7)
This is one of my favorite Scriptures! It reminds me that I don't have to do everything in my own strength and it is very important to remain within the boundaries of God's peace, not allowing myself to be too busy or stressed.

In three days’ time it will be #Christmas and my thoughts go especially to families, who are reunited in these festive days. May Holy Christmas be a fraternal time for everyone, one of growth in the faith and of actions of solidarity toward those who are in need.
