In the hard times, we all have a chance to "show 'em what we're made of."
When life hits us below the belt, this saying is supposed to encourage us to be strong or make the right choices or to "do good stuff."
I don't know about you, but, all too frequently, when the dark times come, I find "what I'm made of" isn't very light or strong at all.
And "God's control" is often cold, cold comfort.
I find when the hard times come, "what I'm made of" isn't all that pretty.
I find I'm made of doubt and anger and selfishness.
When life isn't what's expected, when the curve balls hit, what I'm made of is small and petty and afraid.
In those times, no one wants to see "what I'm made of."
"And He who sits on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'"
(Rev 21:6)
(Rev 21:6)
He makes our weaknesses strong and our darkness light
He takes our selfishness and turns it into giving
He takes our doubt and makes it faith.
He transforms our fear into life.
He is making all things new, even "what we're made of."
He is making all things new, even "what we're made of."
