Hebrews 12: A Personal Analysis
I have faced trials and tribulations but I would like to think that I am stronger because of them. God blessed us with the gift of life and oversaw each moment of our past, including all the pain, hardship, and struggle. He plans to use our experience in a unique way because no one has our voice and no one else shares our story. This idea is particularly prevalent in Hebrews 12. The word teaches us that as a sign of His love, He disciplines us. He takes us through hardship to build certain characteristics that could not be formed from other circumstances. It would be so much easier to harbor resentment towards people that have hurt me but I have chosen to learn from my experiences and grow as a person. As author Charles R. Swindoll once said,

    Informative Speech On Romans 12: 4-11

    How quickly we are to confuse our identity with our roles and obligations. In other words, regardless to the fact that you're someone's mother, daughter, wife, coworker, business partner, or friend, buried under all the titles and hats that women so masterfully wear, there's a unique and distinctive person, full of creativity and possibilities, whom, the Potter, our LORD, has wonderfully created (Psalm 139:14). Additionally, as exciting as it is to be any of the above titles, there's still so much more to you. Consequently, I'm reminded of the fact that Romans 12:6 declares that: God has given gifts that differ according to the grace that has been given, and 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 declares that: We've been given gifts of the Spirit, furthermore,…

    What Role Does God Play In Elisha's Journey

    We have been prey to bad people, and we have lost everything. A few times. I have learned by taking the rough road that without God’s presence, leadership, and Grace in my life, there is danger and failure. When I am walking with God, bad things still happen, but I am able to deal with them and find a way out for myself, and sometimes my children. I am learning to not forgive myself, and allow God to love me, I set us all up for defeat. I am getting used to living in Grace. I want that for my children. I want that for everyone! God is good, and we are blessed. Even with the hard things that temper…

    Sometimes we think that our plans must lead down a better road, or that God must not love us enough to protect us from this pain we feel, but God actually uses the painful experiences to further develop our character. Vivian Thomas could have given up when it became too discouraging, but instead he persevered and became an inspiration to many people. During times that are hard, God teaches us more about life, ourselves, and most importantly, about Him.

    Flavia Weedn: Poem Analysis

    I strongly believe that this experience has brought me closer to God in many ways. He used my stress for my good and for His glory because I was able to redefine and to rediscover my priorities in life by gaining a perspective from a life where I did not want to live in; I did not want to be that girl who is always angry at everyone and upset because she missed a few points on an exam or received a lower score than expected. Instead of going to God and praying to Him, looking back, I feel that I shut Him out, choosing to bury my frustrations and anxieties inside. God strengthened my faith in Him by bringing me closer to Him through praying. I know how much He loves us all, and that He will lead me with the Holy Spirit through the many roadblocks that may lay ahead in my near and distant…

    What Does Suffering Mean To Be Human Essay

    The Bible says “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God” also, God reveals that suffering carries with it a noble purpose: It should help us to grow in brotherly love, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians6:2) I think that when we support each other through suffering we form closer relationships. I believe that suffering is a part of life that needs to be embraced and that for me, I find comfort in knowing God allows suffering to serve a divine purpose. When we return to God it will bring an end to sadness and suffering. I suffer every day with anxiety. It makes me a better person because I know what it’s like to suffer, and because I suffer, I am a more compassionate person to others. I go out of my way to try to lift others in spirit because I know what it feels like to be down. I try to be a wonderful friend because I know how shortcoming in friends can be a letdown, and how having a good friend has kept me safe on bad days. I think sometimes when people don’t suffer they become self-centered and think they are above others. I think it is often when we suffer that we are drawn closer to our families and given a reality check. Suffering helps us to fulfill our potential as children of God (1John…
