"Blooming Through Challenges in Good or Bad Times"

Everyone has had good times and bad times in life hoping to manage keeping normalcy going and alive. As God is sought in a personal relationship, learning how to pose a position of having plenty or not has a developmental position in growth. Viewing personal responses when happenstance is going well versus intensely difficult is determined how observation and self examination is comprehended. Christians react to circumstance based on relationship, daily living, and inspirational characteristics valued in communication with God. 

A godly relationship creates depth and focus enabling drive from within to manage and place importance on ways to deal and accept encounters of varied kinds. When realizing diversity can occur at any time, while embracing good times, it can be surprising. Relationship says, “Salvation in Christ is present for the believer, indicating a relationship to have for all times.” When does the blooming process occur? It occurs after salvation leading to discipleship. Discipleship leads to steps in routines of living according to principles in the Holy Bible. God loves at all times. Therefore, as he is present this learning internally develops towards him, too. 

Godly living perseveres to meet a need and maintain plenty is known and experienced through the scriptures and living out the word of God, relating actions to things planned and completed. When resources are lessened or diminished, there can be a sense of want and desire for simply basic things. If no issues are currently evading general routines daily, there is a feeling of contentment. In persevering, always be aware prayer stays active, reading the bible remains active, and fellowship (social) should not be dismissed.

Godly living creates endurance persevering through days, weeks, and years, moves along as schedules are planned and unplanned. Enduring through challenges large or small can seem ridiculous, but God creates the ability within to keep striving. Doing without a vehicle for 4 years has been a seemingly debilitating experience that only knowing Him could have created understanding through relationship, perseverance, and endurance. Having a vehicle since high school and having a car, “all my life,” and not possessing one currently was bewildering and a growth process. When God has developed a place of contentment in the meantime, it is amazing to personally acknowledge the level of faith and trust. God provided a car from the early years and I trust as blooming continues, He will provide another automobile soon. 

Remember, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” Philippians 4:12
