Life Is A Test

So I dont really know why Im posting this next one or where its really coming from, its just somethings Ive been thinking about and have a feeling that I should share it with all of you . Ill probably go through and add more thoughts to it later. Sorry its all over the place 

We are all going to be test and tried, we cant get through life with out it. Each of us will be tested and tried differently. No trial is the same. Each of us will react to trials differently. Some will act out in anger, some will try to pretend like nothing happened, some will turn from God and Others will run to Him.

We should all run to him. We should fall to our knees and allow him to comfort us. Sometimes He is the only one who can.

Trials are not a punishment. They are to make us stronger. The Lord isnt going to give us anything we cant handle, its just up to us to decide if we do and how we do.

When given a trial we should try asking how can this help me? Instead of why me?

Ive been reading a book called The 12 Purposes of Life. Purpose Two is to be tested.It says "It is part of Gods purpose for us that we struggle through life. Through that process we will prove who we really are-and we will grow to be better. But we are not alone in our struggles. The Lord is ever near us, and he will bless us if we ask."

Some tests may require great sacrifice. Some patients. Some will cause great heartache.

We are all given custom designed trials. We are all tested in certain ways for certain reasons. We can always find someone who is what we think is worse off than ourselves. We need to look for our blessings in our trials. They're there. I promise.
