Good morning everyone,

Luke 4:13,14-And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country.

Usually the boldness to do or promote something comes out of the great suffering and testing from what we had to go through in order to be fruitful at it. The hard work, energy, and exhaustion it took causes us not to be casual if people treat what we do cheaply.

Without testing and preparation there is no confidence and passion to do what God calls us to do. Jesus serves as an example that suffering and testing is a means to be used for the sake of other people we will minister to in the next "season" of our lives.

So embrace your testing with the mind state that it is not about how uncomfortable or unfair it may seem, but your situation will be useful for someone who needs to know a person who used their sufferings to bless people in their similiar situation.

This kind of thinking is naturally difficult, but with the mind of Christ it pulls us out of questioning God as a victim, to serving and encouraging people to be an overcomer in Christ for His glory and their comfort.

In His Love, Ld
