You Had To Go Through It!!!

"Sometimes, some things are just for you!" (Tony Gaskins) There are so many times in my life that I have asked God the reason for my going through something. I did not want to understand that some trials and tribulations could not be avoided, and were simply meant for me to endure, And these specific trials and tribulations were simply meant for me to endure, because in going through them-in the right way and with the right attitude, they would change my negative thoughts and behaviors for the better; thereby, changing my mindset, and developing me so much spiritually, It's like I have said in the past, "some lessons are too precious to miss!" In saying this, I simply mean that while it would seem much easier or better-for me or for my life- to bypass or avoid the specific trial and/or tribulation at hand; however, in doing so, I rob myself of the privilege and/or pleasure to rise to the next level in God. And once I robbed myself of this opportunity (over and over again), then true detriment in life happened.

I have said it once before, and I will say it again. "God never wastes our pain"! He makes use of all of it! He makes use of everything that you have had to go through in this life! But, we become so distracted when we focus more on the trials and tribulations of this life, and not where they will take us after they end. We become so preoccupied/occupied with the pain that we suffer in this life, that we miss the plans of God that result from the pain! If we manage to get through the pain in our lives, we can finally arrive to the promises of God, because we can finally begin to walk in our purpose (which is of God)! So to anyone who feels that they are in such a painful place in life, and are constantly wondering why they are having to go through so these things/times in life, I want to tell you that you have to go through it! And you had to go through it! You had to go through the trials and tribulations of this life because after the tests (in life) come the triumph! And everyone knows that without any tests, there can be no testimony!
