God is working good in believers, but you have to choose: embrace hardship as a chance to grow into a better version of yourself, or retreat into fear. The point isn't that God removes difficulties. It's that he uses them to shape you so you can bless others.
That has literally been our theme this year at the Fast to Faith podcast is God is doing good works in us. And are we accepting it and getting on board and saying, okay, what do you got for me? Or are you like just going in the fetal position and crawling in your hole and dying? Like, I feel like you have such a choice. God is not trying to remove your circumstances or prevent you from anything challenging. He is trying to mold you into a better version of yourself. And for you to go and bless other people with that new version, that better version of Cynthia, it just gives me goosebumps. It is, it is literally why we are here.
