BEAUTY IN OUR TRIALS

Have you ever experienced something in your life 

that you thought would surely destroy you?

 I have and during that storm I couldn't 

see any beauty inside of it.  There 

were several people that assured me that 

if would keep my eyes on Christ and not my problem 

then one day I would be able to see the beauty 

in the situation.   After twelve years,

I can truly say there is beauty in what happened 

to my life.  Not that what happened was 

beautiful at all, but what the Lord did in and 

through my trials brought forth beauty.  

I am sure that all the storms I go 

through doesn't display beauty but it is in 

the real storms of life that we become a 

display for the world to see the destruction or 

see the light of this world.  

How is your storm affecting you?  

Are you allowing the trials you are facing today to cause 

destruction such as a tornado or are you allowing 

others to see the beauty of Jesus Christ radiating 

in and through you? 

James 1:12

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation;
for when he is tried, he shall receive 
the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised
to them that love Him.
