I love this quote by Mark Twain…
“A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.”
Our personal experiences – good and bad – make us who we are. Experience can be a brutal teacher. What we go through in life, and how we deal with it, can either make us or break us. Being gracious when times are good, and not becoming bitter when times are bad are both equally important.
Regardless of which applies to you on any given day, none of it is getting past your Heavenly Father. The Bible says that He “works all things together for good for those who love Him”. That means that He knows what you are going through, and regardless of what it is, He is going to turn it around for your good.
That’s a promise I can live with. How about you?

This is my favorite of all God’s promises. It’s the promise that gives me hope and keeps me going forward. Thank you for sharing this Pastor Ron.
