this is chapter where he kills all the priests of Baal #likeaboss, does a pretty rad sacrifice and it brings the rain back. ) I was amazed how all that epic stuff came after Elijah successfully lived and thrived in a season of change & drought. Just then, I felt that still small voice that had been drowned out by everything else in my world say, “resilience can only be built in times of drought…faith is strengthened through trial. Don’t give up.” I was then reminded of a quote I saw this week that read;
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. – Helen KellerSo this is me, changing how I change, finally accepting that I don’t know everything and humbly embracing the process. awakening, Chari ]]>
So good my friend, can totally relate. There is definitely a character-developing power in surrender that is only made manifest in the presence of suffering and difficulty. I pray that we all change the way we change and develop more of the character of Jesus in the process. Love you! Xoxo
