He's Preparing You For What He Has Prepared For You

Listen up, sister. That difficult time you’re going through? The pain you feel and the stress that’s overwhelming you; it’s not meant to harm you. It’s actually meant to prepare you for something MORE. The Bible doesn’t say IF we face trials, but WHEN. There WILL be hard days, but remember who’s on the other side. “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.”- ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:8-9‬ Notice the BUT setting us up for hope. We are perplexed BUT not driven to despair. We are hunted down, BUT never abandoned. We are knocked down, BUT not destroyed. Girl, we will be pressed by our troubles, BUT never knocked down because He is present in the struggle. Psalm 34:19 says: “The righteous person faces many troubles, BUT the Lord comes to the rescue each time.” The Lord comes to our rescue EVERY time we fall. He let’s us bend, but He won’t let us break, in fact He’s bending us to mend us, making us into what He has created us for. Honey, like I’ve said before He’s got BIG plans & sometimes to bring us into those plans He’s calling us to means preparation FIRST. The bending from trials. The strengthening from the struggle. The patience from the stress. The boldness from the discomfort. The endurance from the hardship. Y’all reach into your struggle today and recognize how He might be prepping you. RECOGNIZE that He has made a way for you. “He’s PREPARING you for what He’s PREPARED for you.” So instead of letting that trial bring ya down, allow it to build you up into all He has made you to be. A little correction won’t hurt you, but only help. Don’t lose hope if you are in a rut, remember He might just have a little prep work left, that’s all 😘 Hold tight, He’s preparing you love, don’t you forget that. 💗 MKG
