Hurtful Words

Sometimes people say things that hurt you... deep down in your soul. More painful than most physical damage. Life is full of obstacles and things that cause us pain, but I have come to the recent realization that these "things" have a name, and they are teaching tools. They are called "trials".

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything"

James 1:2-4 New International Version

So, in essence, the trials we endure are only to strengthen our bond with God... this which we call Faith.

Today, I spent much of the day reading from the Study Bible which was given to me by Lifechurch.tv. Everything I read seemed to go with things I have felt, or feel. It was like validation for my soul. I know that no matter the choice I make, what religion I choose, as long as I choose Jesus Christ as my savior, the Lord, and the Holy Spirit, hand in hand with Jesus, I will find a place in Heaven. Also in this "journey", I know that those who truly love me will accept my decision, and support it.

God is good!
