Joyce Meyer - How Can My Struggles Help Me? (08/17/2019)
I love the book of James. It’s just so rich. And in chapter 1, verse 2, it says this, That’s a hard one. You know, I love my Bible so much, but sometimes I really feel like arguing with it. And when I read scriptures like that, I just have to remember to trust His word more than my feelings. I don’t feel so great. I don’t feel like celebrating and counting it joy when I’m having various trials. But when I trust God, even when I don’t understand or like what scripture is saying, it’s what I need to know. And that works. It’s worked my entire life, and I guarantee you it will work for you.
Here’s a question from Twitter. This question is from Marianne, and she says, Why does God hate me? I’ve been a Christian for many years, and nothing is going right. Marianne, I promise you, God does not hate you. He loves you so much. But I appreciate your honesty.
And when life is hard, sometimes we do feel like nothing is going right. But Marianne, for you and for everybody else, there is something good that can come out of our struggles. And Joyce will explain as she answers the question, «how can my struggles help me»?
