When I reflect back to past experiences, it's hard not to notice the distinct pattern in my life. Things are soaring, everything's fabulous, it's easier to praise and worship God; and then they change, turn sour, everything falls flat, and it's all discontent and bitterness before Him... but so far Jesus has always gave me a hand out of the mud pit. Sometimes swiftly, other times gradually.
Why throw us into the mud pit at all eh. Heck, why
create a mud pit in the first place.
"Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess. C.S. Lewis said, 'Pain is God's megaphone.' It is God's way of arousing us from spiritual lethargy. Your problems are not punishment; they are wake-up calls from a loving God. God is not mad at you; he's mad
about you, and he will do whatever it takes to bring you back into fellowship with him.
But there is an easier way to reignite your passion for God: Start asking God to give it to you, and keep on asking until you have it." - Rick Warren
When you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be dissappointed. - Jeremiah 29:13
Coz that's the only way Jesus can get through our thick skulls.
