Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:21 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/rom.12.21.KJV
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/lam.3.22-23.KJV
When we are young just learning about life, we experience things that we never thought we would go through and experience. Things happen in our life that may change us for the better, or for the worse. I suppose if we looked at things in a different way, we could find peace in it, or we could put it in the back of our minds and not think about it. As we grow in life, we learn new things, and we improve upon some of the things we already know about. While we are learning new things, and gaining wisdom along the way, we just may feel like we are coming and going through things that we feel like we may never understand. Everything is not made for us to understand, some things are just meant for us to go through so we can help others.
Whenever I think about the things I have come and gone through, I see that it made me strong. I see that it was not meant to hurt me, but to grow me spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Certain circumstances that we face in life could be learning experiences; it all depends upon how one looks at things. No one sees things in the same light as the other person. Everyone has their opinion about what things are, and what they may mean to them. Things we go through does not last forever, it is only for a short time, and again, it is the way it is perceived.
When I think about what Jesus went through, He knew that He was only going to be on earth for a short amount of time. He knew that He had a mission that had to take place so things could be made right between God and man. He knew that when time came it was not going to be something that He wanted to go through, but He knew what He was sent here for. He knew that things were going to change for the better and then it was never going to be the same again. He knew that there were going to be those who did not believe, and He knew those who were going to believe without a shadow of a doubt what was going to take place after He died for those two days, because on the third day He rose again just like He said He would.
So, when we look at trials and tribulations that we come and go through it is nothing compared to what Jesus went through for the whole human race. That was a terrible trial that Jesus went through. Just think how it must have felt for Him to be beaten all night long, and then had to carry a cross on His back with the help of someone else who He was dying for. He went through all of that for us and came out victorious! Look at how Peter suffered when he denied Jesus three times. Look how Jesus used Peter after the resurrection. Look at what John went through being exiled on the island of Patmos, but look what happened when Jesus met him there, Revelation was written.
Look at what happened to Saul on the Damascus Road, he met Jesus, and his life was changed for the better. So, we are never alone when we are coming and going through trials and tribulations. God bless.

Whenever I look at sunflowers, I recognize how they will turn their blooms towards the sun. It has always amazed me how nature does what it wants to do. Sunflowers stand tall and beautiful giving off their fragrance that attracts butterflies and other animals that enjoy their beautifulness glowing in the sun. They are a joy to look at. Even when the day is coming to an end, and the sky begins to cast shadows from the clouds, they are still beautiful and standing tall. Who knows what goes on when night falls and they are just standing there cooling in the breeze waiting for the morning sun to peek over the horizon to welcome them to a new day to be even more beautiful than the day before.
Can you just feel the breeze of the morning air gracing the sky as they awaken to a new day never seen before. Look at how they stretch their blooms towards the sky all around them. While the others slowly awaken, they have already greeted the new day. They have already opened up and welcomed all of the little animals which takes pleasure in the blooms, and the leaves, and stem of the flower for their morning breakfast. How wonderful it must be to be a flower so pretty? How blessed they are to never have to worry if they are going to be taken care of?
Unlike us humans, we worry every minute of every day. It doesn’t matter what is going on around us, we are going to find something to worry about, and talk about. See, flowers just grow and stand tall and beautiful without a worry in the world. It would be great if we did not worry so much about things that we cannot control. God tells us not to worry about anything, because He knows what we need before we can even ask for it or think about it. He provides for the flowers and the birds, and He will provide for us as well. There isn’t anything that He cannot do for us when we ask in faith and believe.
So, next time when worry starts to creep in, we need to think about the sunflower and how it stands tall and beautiful without a worry in the world. We too can stand tall and beautiful without a worry in the world. What is the point in worrying about something we did not create? Leave it all in the master’s Hands, He can fix whatever is broken within us. Beauty is fleeting, and just as the flowers will fade, but the Word of God will never fade away. Standing tall and beautiful.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:37-39 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.22.37-39.KJV
Question: What is life without having love for God, yourself, and others? Thinking about that question, how does it make you feel? What enters your thoughts? Take some time out today and meditate on the verse. Talk to God about what you are feeling and thinking. Love conquers all. Jesus is love, God is love, and we should love others because He loves everybody. If you have not talked to Jesus in a while, or if you have never known Him, He is waiting for you with arms wide open to run to Him. He is waiting to change your life. He is waiting to hear from you. He is waiting to give you a new life in Him. Go to Him with everything and give it to Him. He loves you very much. God bless.
