I recently saw a sign that reads, "Life is like photography. You need the negatives to develop." We know that we will have troubles and "negatives" in life, but we also know the picture that develops will be a glorious one!
Jesus came to help us develop by overcoming the sin and troubles of this world. He knows that we will struggle, but He reminds us to take heart and put our faith in Him. It is through Jesus that we can be redeemed. It is through Him that we can overcome this world and prepare for eternity with God!
Develop through the negatives by trusting in the overcoming power of Jesus Christ!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for helping me to develop and grow. Praise to You for being the path that allows me to overcome this world. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
