"Never ask God to get you out of a situation, ask Him to get you THROUGH it." - Brother James Darby.
Have you ever gone through a time in your life when you just want to say 'God please just take this away!'? Well I know I have..
Just yesterday acctually. I remember saying "God please, take it away, there is no good that is going to come from this." then I remembered this Quote from James Darby. And I realized that I shouldn't ask God to take it away but to carry me through it.
I know it's not easy, and I have to remind myself of this quote every day. But I know that God will carry me through so I'm not worried about it. My God is a faithful God. He will never give you more than you can handle. He is there with me through the happiest of times and through the storms. So I'm not going to ask Him to take this away because, though it may hurt, it is making me a stronger Christian. It has drawn me closer to Him everyday. And I pray that it continues to do that...but for now I'm going to take it one day at a time.
I love you Kacey! And you're right - God doesn't allow us to go through things without turning them around for good. That's the power of OUR God! I'm praying for you, and want you to know that this too shall pass ;)
