As much as we wanted to escape from the problems and challenges that we are in, God would somehow lead us to uncomfortable places.

This truth may be hard to swallow because we tend to think that if God loves us, He will always lead us to comfortable places. But there are important lessons that we need to learn along the way.

Allow God To Use Your Circumstances For His Glory
And Saul approved of their killing him.

Don’t allow your Circumstances to Define you as a Person
The challenges around you can never define who you are. Just because you experienced rejection doesn’t mean you are not enough. Just because you commit mistakes doesn’t mean you are a failure.

Don’t doubt yourself. Don’t judge your life according to the problems that God allowed you to face. The difficulties you encounter can never change your identity in the eyes of God. He will always look at you with love regardless of the circumstances in front of you.…
