A year can bring so many ups and downs. We may experience loss, trauma, hurt, and pain. There are also a lot of blessings in a year. Trouble and storms don’t last forever. I know all too well that God will turn things around. The world may try to hold to us to the things God is delivering us from, but God redeems. He is stretching us through the things that happen to us. Life can be unfair, but I know God is in the hard places. He will never leave us nor forsake. We all must acknowledge the fact the devil is busy. It is also true that the enemy lives in people.
As we embark on a new year. Remember to take inventory of the company you keep, the circles you are apart of, the way you feel when you are around people. Sometimes we ignore the way people drain us. We all matter and we have to take care of ourselves. Sometimes even over family and friends. We need to put ourselves first at times without feeling selfish.
How does God turn things around for our good?
No storm lasts forever. In my own life, God has shown me that He takes the rain in our lives and turns it into a rainbow. It becomes a rainbow like during the times of Noah. My mental health took a dive. I had two hospital stays and thought life wasn’t worth living. I had a rough time. I thought I wouldn’t make it to see the end of this year. I thank God He had other plans. Now, my storm is my testimony. Ain’t God good? Yes, He is good at turning things around.
As this year comes to a close, remember that no matter what you are going through, God will turn things around.
