Life doesn't always happen the way we planned it. Though as we become caught in the storm and it's flurry of changes it is so easy to cry out how big it (storm) is ... when we really should remind ourselves how big HE is. Each storm and change is meant to teach, empower, awaken and bring us closer to our purpose of being.Sometimes the storm is horrific, down right catastrophic and the changes may leave us unrecognizable on the outside and the inside, to the naked eye. But with every downpour there is always a minute break before it pours again. It is during this miniscule break that we need to act quickly, draw on the inner strength and faith that lay dormant waiting to be released.
Remember HE is bigger than any storm or change, and He believes we are capable of greater things than we give ourselves the chance to do/be. It is through these storms and changes that we will learn, grow and discover there is a reason for everything. Even when the down power is so thick that visibility is impossible, the change(s) that takes place enables us to see clearer than we thought possible, we need only to use our heart and faith to guide us through it all.
"Rainbows are a result of powerful storms ...
and Butterflies a result of painful change!"
I have had to remind myself many times these past weeks ... and thought you may need a gentle reminder that no matter the size of the storm it will pass and rainbows and butterflies will be the result! ...
And he said to me: “My grace is sufficient for you. For virtue is perfected in weakness.”
And so, willingly shall I glory in my weaknesses, so that the virtue of Christ may live within me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Because of this, I am pleased in my infirmity: in reproaches, in difficulties, in persecutions,
in distresses, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am powerful.2 Corinthians 12:10
