"He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good."
~ Romans 8:28 (The Message Bible)
I thank God that we get better with time. As we get older chronologically, mentally and spiritually our character and poise gets more beautiful, focused and wise. As we make our way in this life we face many different kinds of tests. These tests are designed to perfect. If we think about it, they have and they will continue to perfect us in the Lord.
What I love most about getting older is knowing the outcome of a thing because you've been there before. With being in the place of discomfort or whatsoever, wisdom is established at a deeper level. At a crossroad we don't have to wonder if we should say yes or no to a thing but because of earlier decisions we now can respond to a thing speedily and effectively. I like to call it "evolutionary wisdom".
We evolve as people. From our physical stand point to our judgemental stand point to our characteristics to our wisdom. We get better and better. I looked up the definition for the word evolution. It reads as follows "A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form." Isn't that awesome? That's encouraging to know. We get better with time like fine wine. Our mistakes, our mishaps, our struggles, our successes all teach us to be better and make us better. We have an evolutionary existence.
The bible tells us that "all things work together for the good to them that love the Lord...". If you know you're loving the Lord the next time you wonder why you're going through something, good or bad, remember that it's making you better. It's teaching you how to and how not to. It's perfecting you. Stay encouraged and let what God allows you to go through in this life revolutionize you my brothers and sisters.
Let's pray...
Lord I thank You for experiences. Thank You for circumstances. Thank You for decisions that need to be made. All of these things are teaching us how to be better and IS making us better as people, parents, siblings, spouses, christians and servants. We love You and please continue to make us better. In Jesus name. Amen.
