Whenever you experience trouble, challenges and difficulty — the
lemons of life — God's desire isn't just to bring you through it or
for you to just survive! His purpose is to reward you by making
something GREAT out of what seems hopeless or feels painful.
God's promise is so amazing to us! When we get a dose of trouble, when
we get lemons in life, God's heart for us isn't to just pay us back.
He wants to give us double for our trouble.
Maybe you've lost your job or had some really bad financial breaks
lately. You can get discouraged and cynical and feel bad for yourself.
Or you can trust that God's going to "make some lemonade"; you can
stay encouraged and believe that He's preparing a much better job for
you even now.
Or it could be you've had a major blow-up in one of your most
cherished relationships. You can cast blame, hold on to your pain and
refuse to forgive. Or you can choose to forgive, keep loving that
person, and believe that through this misunderstanding God is going to
take your relationship to a whole new level of trust and enjoyment.
Whenever you go through challenges, God's desire isn't to "reimburse"
you . . . He wants to promote you beyond where you were before!
