Character is greater than comfort!

God is more interested in our character than our comfort. We, on the other hand, are too often more interested in our comfort than the character of God being developed in our lives. If we were to go through this life without any struggle, we also would be without compassion for anyone who does struggle. It is best if we be clay in the Potter's hands, let Him mold us and shape us into His image during difficult times. During those difficult times it is okay for our clay pots (meaning us) to be broken, because that just means God is still shaping us. Then we will be able to minister/show the love and compassion of God to others. Do not be surprised if Jesus allows you to experience some painful circumstance. You may be the subject of a divine setup designed to bring you to a greater maturity level (spiritual growth) in your walk with Jesus. It may not be a fun experience when you go through it, oh trust me, it will be hurtful and painful, but you will become a leader whom God will use to lead others into deliverance and victory. God is working behind the scenes, on your behalf, to bring about your deliverance and victory. As I always tell others going through the testing, GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING... SO TRUST THE PROCESS! (This is exactly what I walked/went thru in 2016, but I would go through it all over again.)
