Your Hard Times Are Preparing You

"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for extraordinary destiny." C.S. Lewis

 Maybe today you are going through a rough time. Something is going on around you that seems exhausting, it seems dreadful, and just all around difficult. You ask God what He is doing and why He is doing this to you. Maybe you are even feeling pushed away from God through this whole situation. Well let me tell you today, that you have no need to worry because I promise you that God is there.
 Now listen here, even though it may seem hard right now, even though it may seem exhausting, God is still there, and He is always going to be. So why does He let things like this happen to us? Well, as the quote says above, these hard times and these difficulties that we go through, they often prepare us and get us ready for the extraordinary destiny that God has in store for us. Think about it this way, if you were to, let's say sign up to run a race. Now, before you reach that finish line of the race, you have to train, you have to prepare, and you have to do things such as that that you may not feel that comfortable doing, but, when you get into that race, you can run it much better than you ever could have without the training, and once you reach the finish line, you will see the great amount of joy that it brings to you.
 So you see, our hard times are training us for our destiny, and with this training, know that you will be able to see more amounts of joy, more miracles, and more blessings than you ever could have imagined.
