Beautiful Heartbreak

Ok, I know I have been a slacker lately. But I have been on vacation with my family for a week. Sorry. 

Anyway, very recent events have gotten me to thinking about the difficulties in our lives and why challenges and trials arise. I learned a long time ago that everything has a time, place and reason for happening. And while we may have one idea, it is Heavenly Father's plan for each of us that is happens. It is up to us to align our will with His. When we do that, we have better abilities to handle the trials that are placed before us. Life doesn't get easier when we are righteous. But we have the strength to handle the hard times when we walk hand in hand with God. 

Still though. Sometimes He throws us curve balls. It isn't because he hates us, is angry with us, bored or neglecting us. In fact it is just the opposite. It is because he loves us. He sees the potential that we have to become amazing people. However, we cannot reach that potential when life is easy. The hard times helps us to learn to rely on the strength that Christ can offer us. We need to learn very important lessons that can help us to make positive changes, these come best through difficult times. It also tests our faith, helping us to increase it and strengthen our knowledge even more. Yes, it is difficult. But we can get through it, when we trust in the Lord.

It is said best in this song:

It is entitled Beautiful Heartbreak by Hilary Weeks. She says it best. When we climb the mountain, we see the view that we could not see before. And when we do that we will not trade it for anything else.
