The weather is perfect these past few weeks and i believe it will be for the weeks to come. Don't we wish Brisbane's weather could be like this all year round? But then i thought to myself, if it were so perfect all the time we would stop realising how lovely it is - the realisation that we can wear comfortable clothes, not dread coming out of the shower, not needing the air-con or heater to be comfortable would cease to exist...
It's when we are less comfortable, that we realise how comfortable things could be. The same i believe is with our lives. If our lives are always good and blessed, with no trials or problems, we won't be able to fully appreciate the goodness that comes to us in life. We won't see, feel, or comprehend the difference and will just be numb to the good things in life.
Hence, as much as we pray for good times, don't be upset when God allows testings and trials to come our way. It doesn't just mould our character like it says in James 1:2-4:-
"2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. "
It also helps us appreciate the GOOD TIMES more!!
