People are watching–curious to see how you will respond to negative events in your life.
Will you cave in at the first sign of trouble, falling to pieces when diagnosed with a life-threatening illness?
Will you demonstrate Godliness in the ongoing struggle with your adult child, or will you revert to your “old ways” of dealing with heartache?
As a Christian, your response can lead others to Christ, or turn them away. The apostle Paul, even in prison, continued to witness for Christ, his powerful testimony a beacon light for others:
“Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.” (Philippians 1: 14)
How you handle difficulty can bring comfort and inspiration to others. Don’t fail God or yourself, but continue to give Him the glory. Pastor Jim.
