Adversity seen from another perspective. || La adversidad vista desde otra perspectiva.

Generally when we begin our Christian career, we begin to know the mind of God, however, at all times we can confidently approach him and experience his perfect love.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.
Isaiah 55:8
There are moments of adversity that hit us hard and it is almost normal for us to feel very discouraged, but God's purpose is very different to destroy us, he wants us to stimulate our spiritual growth and development in Christ. God is wise and knows how to use a certain situation to transform us from glory to glory into the image of Jesus Christ.
Every adversity is not foreign to the knowledge of God, it is subject to the permissive will of the almighty. This does not mean that the difficulties are his will but we must understand that if God allows something it is to fulfill his purpose and purely for our good. I understand that the suffering we experience is too terrible and we generally have a limited view of everything that happens around us, we do not fully understand the mind of God or what he does.
God never leaves anything to chance, he knows and understands each of the aspects of our lives, understanding that our vision is limited, we place trust in God, understanding that his plans are not only for you, his plans are for all humanity and we are part of creation. From the beginning of creation times to the end, we may not fully understand the mind of God, but we do have the possibility of intimately knowing his faithfulness and his love for us.
For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you the end you hope for.
Jeremiah 29:11
When we discover this truth through his word, when we understand that his ways are only for our good, we must focus on his truth, lean on his knowledge and wisdom, understanding that he has the power for us to cross any adversity. Let us remember that God loves us much more than our minds can conceive, God at all times has an absolutely complete vision of our situation and everything that surrounds us. Doesn't that generate your great trust in the creator?

Generalmente cuando iniciamos nuestra carrera cristiana, comenzamos a conocer la mente de Dios, de todas maneras, en todo tiempo podemos acercarnos a él confiadamente y experimentar su amor perfecto.
8 Porque mis pensamientos no son vuestros pensamientos, ni vuestros caminos mis caminos, dijo Jehová.
Isaías 55:8
Hay momentos de adversidad que nos golpean fuertemente y es casi normal que nos sintamos muy desanimados, pero el propósito de Dios es muy diferente destruirnos, él desea de nosotros estimular nuestro crecimiento y desarrollo espiritual en Cristo. Dios es sabio y sabe cómo utilizar determinada situación para transformarnos de gloria en gloria a la imagen de Jesucristo.
Cada adversidad no está ajeno al conocimiento de Dios, está sujeto a la voluntad permisiva del todopoderoso. Esto tampoco quiere decir que las dificultades son su voluntad pero debemos entender que si Dios permite algo es para cumplir su propósito y puramente para nuestro bien. Entiendo que el sufrimiento que experimentamos es demasiado terrible y nosotros tenemos generalmente una visión limitada de todo lo que acontece en nuestro alrededor, no entendemos completamente la mente de Dios o lo que él hace.
Dios nunca deja algo librado al azar, conoce y entiende cada uno de los aspectos de nuestras vidas, entendiendo que nuestra visión es limitada depositamos la confianza en Dios entendiendo que sus planes no es solamente para tuyo, sus planes son para toda la humanidad y nosotros somos parte de la creación. Desde el inicio de los tiempos de la creación hasta el final quizás no comprendamos a fondo la mente de Dios pero si tenemos la posibilidad de conocer íntimamente su fidelidad y su amor para con nosotros.
Porque yo sé los pensamientos que tengo acerca de vosotros, dice Jehová, pensamientos de paz, y no de mal, para daros el fin que esperáis.
Jeremías 29:11
