Judges 3-5
What God said to me – Do not lament when you face an enemy or a temptation for these are opportunities to show your love for Me and your willingness to obey. These are opportunities for you to grow and learn to stand strong. I could give My children easy lives with no trials or conflicts, but they would remain babies, never growing to maturity. As a result our relationship would never grow or mature. During difficulties are when you are most open to Me and receptive to My Spirit. These times are when you learn the deepest truths and as a result, our relationship deepens. Going through hard times together will knit our hearts together in a way that would not be possible apart from them so savor these times as we go through them together.
