We feel we are beset with innumerable problems in life. But this is our misconception. There are not numerous problems, but in fact there is only one – To consider the events in our life to be a problem is the only problem.
There are times when we take a huge leap forward in our spiritual journey and sometimes this is quite clearly the result of major changes or events in our physical lives. Often, these events are not of our choosing and are outside our control, but God uses them for His own purposes to ‘move us on’.
But due to our ignorance, we view events in life from a wrong perspective. Our wrong perceptions make us see only problems. What we need to realize is to stop considering a problem as a problem. When we begin to view any incident as a ‘problem’, the situation worsens drastically. But when the word ‘problem’ is substituted with ‘challenge’, it helps to reduce the problems radically.
The incident that is taking place now in our life has a solution, a ladder, a lesson and a challenge; and when you think that a problem or a pain has come to teach you a lesson or to become a ladder for your progress, the problem no longer appears a problem.
Whenever negative feelings arise, replace the negative feeling with faith. The aim of the feeling is to convey the state we are in. The role of faith is to keep that state in control. Even when things appear non-straightforward, God can bless us as we submit graciously, trusting Him in all obedience and faith to work out the details.
Dear friends, don’t feel the work you are doing or what you are going through is painful, because there will be always a reason for that pain or work.
So face the pain, for the pain you face, there will be definitely happiness ahead.
