Coming and Going Through

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.
