MATT Good Morning, I’m Matt Farmer, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church. At some point or another in life, we will experience hardships. Often the struggles of life can have us feeling as if we are at the end of our rope or have hit rock bottom. However, even when we don’t see it, these struggles are forming us into stronger Christians. In Hebrews 12, we read that our heavenly Father loves us too dearly to let us remain immature. Like any loving father, He disciplines, corrects, and trains us—often through difficult situations. God uses our times of struggle to help us grow and make us more holy. Many people are motivated to live for health, wealth, and ease, and they try to avoid pain at all costs. But the abundant life that God intends for His people isn’t trouble-free. Growth and change are often unsettling, but the gain is worth the pain.
