Our faith is revealed in trials.  Our mission is manifested as we mend.  Mend and your Mission will Manifest.  It is because of my previous circumstances and the grace of God that I am able to encourage you today.  I know the God of a second chance!  The intent of our trials is not to pull us away, but to build a platform for God to work through us to encourage others.  

Understand you can allow your circumstances to do one of two things: destroy you or make you stronger.  In either outcome, you make the choice.  You can choose to stay in your current state, or you can choose to seek God to turn your situation around in your favor and for His glory.

Jesus spoke about our trials in this Verse: "Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you.  Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light" (Matthew 11:28-30).   I know it feels heavy.  However, the burden is there so He can teach us how to overcome it.   Only through our Redeemer and Healer can we learn how to mend and have victory in every situation.  Do not fear, but have faith and trust in Him.  He is calling you to rise and turn your despair into destiny.
