The Imperfections of this World will help you Realize that you Badly need God’s Love
The struggles and the pain are like an eye-opener. They will give you a chance to see the real status of your heart. And it will help you realize the things that you truly need in life. So instead of asking God about the reason why you need to face the obstacles in front of you, just learn to look at your heart and figure out the things that are going on inside. Let the negative situations around you purify your soul and lead you to hunger more for God’s love and grace. The challenges will help you stay grounded. It will magnify your weaknesses at the same time expose God’s strength and goodness. There are blessings behind what you are going through. After that season, you will learn to stop relying on yourself. Instead, you will finally have the humility to rely on God’s power and mercy.
Sometimes, the lessons that we learn from others are not enough. God allowed you to face the imperfections of this world so that you will really take His principles to your heart. It makes a lot of difference when you experience the struggles firsthand. It will somehow build your faith and strengthen you from the inside out. There are lessons that are so important that you really need to go through them despite the pain of pruning. And the more you try your best to glorify God in the middle of the wilderness, the more you will realize that it’s not about your own strength or efforts. It’s about God’s love and the humility that you have to accept His grace in your heart. The brokenness will sometimes make you feel helpless to the point that you will realize how weak you are and how much you need God’s love.
So if the circumstances around you try to wake you up to the reality of life, then take it as a powerful reminder for you to depend on God and not on your own strength. The unexpected events will teach you how sovereign and powerful He is. And the more you see His power, the more you will also realize what you can and cannot do. It helps you stay rooted in the presence of God. Somehow, the truths that you will discover in those moments will serve as great reasons that will lead you to trust Him even more. It’s not easy to face them, but what makes it worth it is the lesson that will eventually change your life little by little.
Everything that this world can offer is temporary. We need to keep in mind that no matter how pleasurable and fulfilling it feels to gain riches and wealth. Still, they can never complete us. Our imperfect hearts will always long for perfect love. And we can only receive it in the arms of Jesus. So let’s choose to open our hearts for His love to come in. Let the brokenness and the pain we feel give us the motivation to seek more of His presence.
