5 Ways God Uses Problems

The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you - depending on how you respond to them.
Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.

Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:

1. God uses problems to DIRECT you.

Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30

2. God uses problems to INSPECT you.

People are like tea bags...if you want to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot ever water! Has God tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about you? "When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience." James 1:2-3

3. God uses problems to CORRECT you.

Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It's likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something...health, money, a relationship... by losing it. "It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws." Psalm 119:71-72

4. God uses problems to PROTECT you.

A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem - but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management's actions were eventually discovered. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good... Genesis 50:20

5. God uses problems to PERFECT you.

Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things you're going to take with you into eternity. "We can rejoice when we run into problems... they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady." Romans 5:3-4

Here's the point:

God is at work in your life - even when you do not recognize it or understand it. But it's much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him.

"Success can be measured not only in achievements, but in lessons learned, lives touched and moments shared along the way."

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. Let them go. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead. You've got to know when it's over.

Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give
it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to ..LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...LET IT GO!!!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you ... LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge .. LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ... LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents ... LET IT GO!!!
If you have a bad attitude...LET IT GO!!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better... LET IT GO!!!
If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new lev! el in Him... LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves...LET IT GO!!!
If you're feeling depressed and stressed .... LET IT GO!!!
If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to... LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for you LET IT GO!!! Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then LET IT GO!!! "The Battle is the Lord's!"

"It's like my life was getting good... I was driving toward the right exit but I got into an accident while changing lanes."
- JL Farley

Lord, I need to get over him...I need to get over missing him...I need to get over wanting and needing him...I need to Lord...now more than ever...I have taken baby steps into recovery already please don't let me go back to the hell hole I was before...I have started to see the light in a very very long and dark tunnel...I do not want to lose sight of that light again...please Lord...I beg you...

"Love isn't like a cold. You can't just get over it."- JL Farley

I Miss you by Blink 182


Hello there the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you I miss you)
(I miss you I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

I miss you (miss you miss you)
I miss you (miss you miss you)
I miss you (miss you miss you)
I miss you (miss you miss you)
(I miss you miss you)

I decided to stay...I realized that I'm better off here in Manila than in Cebu. My family is here...my support group...my friends...practically everyone...Thanks to my TM Gil for knocking me to my senses. Whew! I almost wasted a foundation that I had built for myself for almost 3 years. Thanks Gil :)

I've to respect the guy. He's definitely better than PENGUIN. He has better client knowledge and the number characteristic that the guy has that penguins doesnt is people skills. One can talk to the guy without feeling na you're talking to a manager or someone higher than you. He also addresses you not as a subordinate or someone he can look down on. Another thing, he greets you. Si penguin, kilala lang ako un kung may ipapagawa. that's it. pero sa labas akala mo di nya ko kilala. kupal. mamatay na sana sya. kaya tuloy ang panget nya e. reflects his kalooban. im sorry sobrang hatest ko lang tlaga sya kse KUPAL sya.

After my shift, I met up with A in 7-11 to talk about the latest chismis that I heard about THAT GIRL. I told him na that I have had enough and that I do not want another chismis or kwento about her or them to ever reach me ever again. I asked him (more of ordered nga e..) to make her shut up or I will. Yes I know it was kinda harsh pero please naman...medyo gumagawa na ata sya ng kwento para lang mapansin sya e...I was soooo angry last night to the point na I was crying na because of anger. PuÑeta minsan lang ako magsasalita at magagalit about it sa kanya and he knows na when I do say something it really is that mabigat na or sobra sobra na. We talked till 430am (so much for going home early) and he did understand naman from where I am coming from and why I reacted that way. That was wednesday early morning. When we met up again wednesday night, he said na he spoke na daw with that girl and of course, she denied it. Well whoever did spread those rumours about them and whoever made sure it reached me, shut up.

FYI lang din to everyone, Adrian and I did not break up because of a third party. We broke up because we had issues that could not be resolved. That is it. We are friends now. Or at least trying to be.

"And sometimes you just didn't want to know the end
because how can the end be happy?
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened?
But in the end it's only a passing thing
this shadow
Even darkness must pass
A new day will come
and when the sun shines
it will shine out clear"
