We like to think we are special. We're even told that in the Bible, kind of. We are His masterpiece, and He has plans for us that were established before the world was established.
So that's pretty unique, right?
Each of our stories are different... our paths in life, different.
And that's a beautiful thing, because the world would be a boring place if we were all the same.
However, too often when we face difficulties, we tend to think we're alone. We're the only one goingt through it. Nobody can understand, right? And I can't help but think that the enemy wants us to feel that way, because if we believe that people won't understand, we won't reach out for help. And when we are isolated, we become self-centered. And when we are self-centered, we stop looking to God.
Even though we all face unique challenges, and our stories are different, troubles are common. We're told in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[ beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
No temptation... except what is common to man.
Those difficulties you're facing? You're not alone. Somebody has walked the path before you. And He is faithful. He will provide a way out...
And those who endure to the end shall be safe.
