Adversity comes to Polish You

As human beings we hate adversity. Adversity is not necessary a bad thing, it comes to everyone of us to teach us a lesson or two. Everyone of us at sometime or another, take our adversity personal. Whatever adversity we face it comes to make us strong and build us up, depending on how we embrace it. As believers it comes to glorify our heavenly father. John 9: 1-6, "And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay".

Notice the question the disciples asked. Who sin? Was it the man or His parent? But straight way the Lord clarifies that neither the man or his parent had sin, but it was to glorify God. Isn't that the mind set of many people today? We are so ready to point fingers at others that is going through their adversity. When the bible clearly stay, we ought to pray for one another and bear each other burden. We don't know why God allows adversity, but we need to trust the process. Adversity, yes I am talking about difficulty times, times of distress, heartache and unanswered troubled. Troubled that even those that where close to you draw away from you, for it is too much for even them to see you go through. It is not their to carry, so it seems as if you are going to die but you will not die as you go through it. Some even think that you have done some ungodly deeds. However let us be encourage, as adversity put us to the test. Don't waiver in your spirit but remain faithful to God.

May we all draw close to the mirror and look at ourselves and see that, we are no different from our brothers or sisters, that faces adversity. It is a journey that lies before us, if we have not taken it already. Adversity comes to teach us and polish us, so we can shine. In James 1:3-4, "Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Our adversity, comes to advance us into different avenue and adventure that without the adversity we would have never known. it shows if we are pure or not. When the heat of adversity takes us, it separate a true worshipper from the fake. The heat of adversity descale the build up of every layer of our lives that would hinder us from truly giving our heart to the Lord. Do not curse your adversity, embrace it. Allow the Lord to separate the gold in you from the lead. Then your true being will come shining through.
