Growing Through The Dirt

by Hazel Straub

Have you had difficulties in your life that seem insurmountable? Negative thought patterns, the past you never overcome, repetitive destructive behavior patterns, hardship, sins you repeat and repeatedly ask God to forgive? When you belong to Christ, you are never alone. These situations come and we overcome by growing through the pain and darkness. The stuff we go through that seems disastrous becomes the fertilizer that helps us grow through it and become beautiful, mature and productive, in the image of God.

We cry out to Daddy God asking him to deliver us, immediately. Instead he accompanies us, as we go through the process. We are not the sin or pain with which we struggle. In our hardship, we fall on the Lord’s mercy and give him more of our heart. The dark struggle through the dirt, causes more of Jesus to shine through our life, through refining and dying to our flesh. He heals us and delivers us from all our fears.  Abundant life, not as a survivor or victim but as a triumphant overcomer becomes our lifestyle. Our mess becomes a message that encourages and inspires many.

Remember, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)
