There will be times in your life, when the things you thought you knew, get thrown upside down…Maybe a situation occurs, a circumstance, or happening that makes you pause.  It makes you stop and think, “where are my motives?” or “why am I doing this?” or you think “why am I so frustrated?”  

The prevailing question, the one that keeps “coming up” in your head, God is usually bringing that one up for a reason.  That question needs to be answered.  

God has continued to bring one question to me…this same question, over and over.  I didn’t know the answer which forced me to go to God and ask Him.  

It’s interesting, He didn’t give me the answer right away, it was a process, which took time, but it is crystal clear…Almost in stereo, it was like God was speaking from different sources.  Then He lead me to this scripture…

 It’s not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow.  1 Corinthians 3:7

The questions or problems you cannot answer are designed so that you are compelled to go to God for the answer….Those questions are the ones that drive you to an amazing love relationship with Him.

They are not the most fun times, it feels like your heart is being torn up, and sometimes feels brutally painful…but massive growth happens because of them, and God uses every tear drop and pain for His purpose.

My prayer is that we will ask ourselves the tough questions, let God move in our heart, allow others to know what we struggle with, have the courage to move forward in faith with Him, and accept His will in all circumstances.
