Understanding how we respond to trials and tribulations may profoundly affect our life. Many factors contribute to our pain in this world. No matter the source of the pain, it is the resiliency of the human spirit that makes the difference between being a victim and a survivor. It is also the Spirit of God that is able to transform us from being defeated towards becoming victorious through the power of Jesus Christ in all circumstances. Jesus teaches that despite adversity, we have the power to overcome our suffering because he overcame suffering for us. Facing my own challenges as a child and into adulthood has imppacted me in many ways. However, it is not adversity that becomes the obsticle, rather, it is making the decision to deal with adversity through God’s perspective that may help us rise above our troubles and tribulations.
