When we go through things that are not to our liking, we need to look up and ask God what is it that He wants us to learn to see and be convicted about? Romans 8:28 says And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God those who are called according to His purpose. God always test us so that we can draw closer to Him. Just because we are experiencing hardship and trials doesn’t mean that He is not there and that we don’t have favor we are His children He chastises us because we are His, Remember when we got put on punishments and or got whippings or both our parents did it for our good to teach us and to correct our mistakes. Psalms 121:1 says look to the hill where our help comes from our help comes from the Lord. So when your down look up. That is easier said than done!!!! I am learning that more and more each day. And I am more grateful and thankful each and every day its not always easy, but I know where I deserve to be. so I am so grateful for where I am right now!!!!! Strong on both sides
