Blessed

This week has been hell.

Between life and work, it’s been hard dealing with trying times and devastating news, but I managed knowing I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The moment that hit me, though, I was instantly reminded: it could always be worse.

We tend to focus so much on the negativity when it strikes, yet we lose sight of all the positive things in our lives that often outweigh it. The bad things that happen make the great things all the more special, and everything truly happens for a reason.

While we can’t possibly begin to fathom God’s reasoning or question His judgment, what we can do is thank Him for allowing us to maintain, endure and hopefully find the positive in every trial and tribulation with which we’re faced.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
— John 16:33
