LIFE LESSON 

Life’s trials and tests will affects all of us at
some point in our lives.  The way I handle 
the situationis very important. I asked Jesus,
"Why did you let this happen to me" ? I
instantly immediately got a vision of Jesus 
on the cross.  I felt ashamed because I 
realized that nothing I would experience 
could compare to what Jesus suffered on 
the cross.  My problem seemed trivial and 
I asked for His forgiveness.  I began to 
understand why He told us not to try to
understand His reasons for allowing certain
things occur.  I learned to have peace with 
my ups and  downs. His ways are not our 
ways. I am not omnipresent, omniscient,
or omnipotent. 

I do try to see if I can learn a lesson from my
trials and tests. I examine my actions to see
if I was offensive, aggressive, cruel, or unkind
to someone. I check to see if I made an error
in my judgement which affected my relationship
with Christ, my family, my relatives, my church,
or my coworkers.

I applied for a job once and even went for 
an interview.  The interview went well and
I thought I had a chance of getting this 
promotion.  Another lady with years of 
service and less qualifications got the 
job. I was ill all day at work and was 
mad because I had prayed for that job
too. I found out later that I was blessed 

because I didn’t get the job.  It was
phased out after six months because 
of downsizing!!  The company got a
new CEO and he reorganized the whole 
organization. I had to repent for the 
way I acted.
