Have you been through a difficult time?

"For the Lord will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake his inheritance." Psalm 94:14

Are you grieving a death of a loved one?

Maybe just going through the process with someone else.

Have you been through many difficult times, but this is the roughest?

Feel like you are alone?

Think that no one understands what you are going through?

Have you tried to cry out to God for help in our grief?

"Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord." Psalm 31:24

God is always there, He will never leave you or forsake you.

"Let your conversation be without covetness; and be content with such things as ye have: foe He hath said, I will never leave thee or forsake thee." Hebrews 13:5

This may be a difficult time for you now, but joy is on the way.

How can you say that?

You are probably thinking that there will never be any more joy in your life.

When you let go and let God begin to take over once again, you set your flesh aside, God will you untold joy.

Joy comes from above.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:17

In every difficult time we need to remember to give God the praise even if we don't feel like it.

"I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels." Isaiah 61:10

Ya know that through each difficult time we are to learn something to help us grow in our walk.

It is through suffering and hardship that we learn discipline.

We have to go through that place where we think that we are going to give up.

We don't give up but we manage to make it through.

We make it through with God's grace!

It doesn't mean anything until you have gone through it for yourself and come out ok.

It is through these experiences that we find out that life is not just nice and neat all the time.

When we go through hardships or difficult times it can actually bring about joy in our life.

We will learn that we are passing from one stage to another in our spiritual maturity.

Most of us don't like hardship or difficult times.

God uses these hardships or difficult times to get your attention.

God will use difficult times and hardships to take us to the next level.

God will use hardships and difficult times to help us in our discipline, and our commitment to Him.

Look to Him for all you do.

Keep your eyes on Him at all times.

He will see you through.

"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." Psalm 27:14
