Why is it that some people struggle so much while other people tend to simply go through life and not struggle one little bit? I have had this question on my mind for some time. Any ideas? :)
Hey "roomie!" I've thought about this too. But no matter how it appears, everyone has struggles. It's just part of life. But a huge encouragement for believers is the promises that God gives us in His word. Specifically, Hebrews 12; this passage says that it is for discipline that God tests us. He tests us because we are His children, He loves us, & He wants us to be more Christ-like. This passage says that if He did not discipline us, it would mean that we are illegitimate children. God's ultimate purpose in our life is to make us like His Son; sometimes we are just too prideful to get it in any way easier than testing. Love you girly =)
Galatians 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
About the Title
The title of my blog is "Learning to Lean" because it is just what I am doing: learning to lean on my Savior. I am learning to trust Him every day, and my hope is that this blog will encourage my readers on the path of growth in Christ. "But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18).
