Kad jūs iet cauri grūti laiku, cilvēki ne vienmēr zina, ko teikt. Rezultāts ir bezjēdzīgas klišejām vai banāls mēģinājumus jūs uzjautrināt. Es vienmēr esmu bijusi problēma ar klišeja phrases- veida, kas nenozīmē neko personai sakot viņiem un nav reāli palīdzēt personai dzirdes tos. Dumjš lietām, piemēram,, "Chin up" un "Tas būs labāks." Tiešām? Kā tu zini? Jums nav darīt savus draugus neko labu, dodot viņiem gaisma, pūkains cerības, kas nav sakņojas neko. Kad dziļas sāpes hits mums vajag rock ciets patiesība uzturēt mums.
viņa cīkstēšanās ar vēzi laikā, Christopher Hitchens pauda līdzīgu neapmierinātību ar dažiem bezjēdzīgu frāžu mēs mest apkārt. Viņš pavada dažas lapas uzbrūk viens no tiem savā grāmatā, Mirstība. Viņš saka, "It īpaši, Man ir nedaudz pārtrauca izdod paziņojumu, ka "neatkarīgi nenogalina mani padara mani stiprāku." Viņš turpina, sakot, "In brutālu fiziskajā pasaulē ... ir visi pārāk daudz lietas, kas varētu nogalināt jums, nav nogalināt jums, un pēc tam atstāj jūs ievērojami vājāka. "Vai jūs vienkārši justies prieku?
Tas izklausās nospiedošs, bet es domāju, Hitchens ir taisnība savā ziņā. Tas ir pilnīgi iespējams, ka mēs varam iet cauri grūti lietas, kas tikai vājina mums un mūs tuvāk nāvei. Es varu iedomāties, kāds uzdodot jautājumu, “Kā var kaut tas šausmīgs padara mani stiprāku?” Pat visvairāk pozitīvie cilvēki var sadalīt ar brutalitāti mūsu kritušā pasaulē. Optimisms var izdzīvot tikai tik daudz piekaušanu līdz tas saplīst, un realitāte beidzot droseles to ārā. Frāzes, kas reiz skanēja gudrs tagad šķiet nevērtīgs. Bet ir labi nozīmē noskaņojums Hitchens uzbruka kādreiz taisnība? ES tā domāju.
Kad Vai taisnība?
"Kas nenogalina mani padara mani stiprāku" var būt patiess, bet tikai tad, ja tur ir kaut kas ārpus šīs dzīves. Ja šai dzīvē, šī pasaule, un šī iestāde ir viss notiek, Hitchens ir taisnība. Tas ir meli. Tas būtu tāpat kā teikt, "Kas nav kopā mans auto padara to spēcīgāku." Tas ir smieklīgi. Jūs ir ignorēt patiesību uzskatīt, ka. Bet, ja mūsu pagaidu izmēģinājumi ir sava veida mūžīgo nozīmi tā mainās visu.
Paul stāsta mums, "Visas lietas nāk par labu tiem, kas mīl Dievu un sauc pēc viņa mērķi." Šis pants ir dažkārt ļaunprātīgi, bet tas ir viens no skaistākajiem solījumus visos Rakstos. Tas nenozīmē, ka kristieši ir neuzvarams. Visi no mums būs jāsastopas pārbaudījumus, bet mēs nevaram beidzot uzvarēta ar tām. Pat mūsu sliktākā ienaidnieki, piemēram, ciešanām un nāvi, kļuvuši mūsu draugi Kristū, jo viņi galu galā strādā mūsu labā.
Tātad, kā tieši varētu šīs postošās izmēģinājumi faktiski padara mūs stiprākus? Šeit ir trīs veidi (ar ievērojamu pārklāšanās):
1. Tās padara mūs atkarīgi no Jēzus
Kad es jūtos kā viss manā dzīvē notiek labi, mana sirds tūlīt patveras patstāvībai. Tas nekad neizdodas. Es sāku lūgties mazāk, jo es neapzināti pieņemu es netrūkst neko. Es kļuvis lepns, jo es domāju, ka es esmu iemesls viss notiek labi. Šajos laikos, Es esmu aizmirstot, ka Dievs ir devējs labas dāvanas, un man joprojām ir nepieciešams Viņu uzturēt mani. Es esmu pieņemot, ka es esmu tiesīgs saņemt visus Viņa žēlastību.
Bet, kad izmēģinājumi nāk mūsu ceļu, tie parāda mums mūsu pašu vājumu. Slimības atgādina, cik trausla mēs esam, atlaišanām atgādina mums, ka smags darbs negarantē neko, un konfliktu mums atgādina, ka mums ir nepieciešams Jēzus ikvienā jomā mūsu dzīvē.
2 Korintiešiem 12 ir komforts man laikos vājums. Pāvils atzīst, ka Dievs deva viņam pētījumā, lai "saglabātu [viņam] no kļūst iedomīgs. "Un viņš saka, ka viņš lepojas labprāt viņa vājumu, un ka viņš ir apmierināts ar visu pētījumu veidu. Kā varētu Paul būt saturs un pat priecīgs par saviem pētījumiem? Es domāju, ka Pāvils saka, ka šie pētījumi skaidri parāda, ka Viņam vajag Dieva žēlastību un spēku. Self-atkarība ir vājums, un atkarība no Kristus ir spēks. Tātad Pāvils saka, "Kad es esmu vājš, tad es esmu spēcīgs. "
2. Tās padara mūs vairāk kā Jēzus
Mēs nekad nespēs izturēt postošās izmēģinājumus, kamēr mēs saprotam, ka mūsu komfortu un labu veselību nav pats svarīgākais. Komforts un veselība ir labas lietas, ka Dievs priecājas dot mums. Bet Dieva galvenais griba mūsu dzīvē ir, ka mēs būtu kā Jēzus. Un Viņš ir pat gatavi izmantot izmēģinājumus paveikt, ka. Ebrejiem 12 saka, "[Dievs] disciplinē mums mūsu labā, ka mēs varam dalīties ar savu svētumu. "Apmācības Dieva sporta zālē var ievainot dažreiz, bet Viņš darīs mūs stiprākus.
James 1:2 nāk prātā, kur viņš mums saka, lai "Count to visu prieku, mani brāļi, kad jūs atbilstat izmēģinājumi dažādu veidu…"Iemesls, mums vajadzētu rēķināties tas prieks ir Kristum raksturs tas rada. Mūsu pazemība ir svarīgāka nekā mūsu laime. Tas ir labāk būt fiziski vājš un garīgi stipra.
3. Tās padara mūs ilgi, lai būtu kopā ar Jēzu
Mūsu sirdis ir novājināta grēka, un mēs bieži atrast sev ilgas vairāk par to, ko šī pasaule var piedāvāt. Bet, kad pagaidu prieki šīs pasaules ir ņemti no mums, mēs atgādināja, ka Zeme nav mūsu mājas. Mūsu pilsonība ir citur.
Es mīlu uzturas jauku viesnīcās, un kad es to mēģinu izmantot visas perks. Bet tad es sāku garām mana sieva, un tad es saprotu, man nav drēbes es gribēju, lai, un tad es saprotu, apkalpošana numurā ir aptuveni uz pusi tik labi, kā manas sievas vārīšanas. Tas man atgādina, ka šī viesnīca nav my home. Neapmierinātas vēlmes mani ilgi būt mājās. Šī zeme nav kur mēs piederam, un izmēģinājumi atgādina mums, ka mūsu paradīze ir citur, ar mūsu Kungu. Nebūs neapmierinātās vēlmes Debesīs, jo mūsu Kungs apmierinās visas mūsu ilgas. Viņš būs likvidēt sāpes un ieliet Viņa žēlastību, kas mums visiem laikiem.
Tāpēc nākamreiz, kad jums ir draugs iet cauri grūts laiks, atgādinātu, ka pat visvairāk traģiskos apstākļos var padarīt mūs stiprākus. Ne caur pozitīvo domāšanu un optimismu, bet ar reālu cerību un reālām pārmaiņām. Un, kad jūs iet cauri grūts sezonas, ļaujiet tai pievērstu jums tuvāk Kristum. Nebaidieties, Kungs ir ar tevi.
Ticīgā cerība ir ārpus kapa, un nākamajā dzīvē mēs būsim līdzīgi un kopā ar Viņu. So even what kills us makes us stronger.
āmen.
Thanks trip, that was exactly what I needed to hear right now. Going through a super tough time and His faithfulness to comfort his children never fails to amaze me.
Awesome piece.I will do away with the usual cliches and instead advice those in pain from today onward to look on to the rock that is higher than i..Thank you sir
This was a little surprising to read. I had never really thought about positive sayings in negative situations being a bad thing. bet, atkal, it’s through God’s glory that we can manage through the tough times and realize that there is something greater than this world. What doesn’t kill me, or does, makes me stronger because it draws me closer to God.
Mr. Tripp Lee
I woke up this morning feeling conceited and sort of untouchable believing that since most things in my life were going on okay, then I don’t need to trust God even more. I was wrong and was reminded of it quite immediately as the day was progressing on. Thank you for your insight in this manner and I pray the Lord will show me Grace and pick me up from where I am.
Your brother in Christ
Dear Mr.trip lee,
I just love this (: i have a question my church is actually doing a series “what on earth am i here for?” n im on of the youth leaders and I’ll be doing a lesson a discipleship and everything you said ties in perfectly cause on of the sections is depending on god during trails… so if its ok could i use some of your stuff?

I seriously love your stuff and its diffently helping me grow as christian (: thank you for being a man of god n honoring your calling to go into preaching. Gods gonna do some powerful things in your life and your familys life (:
I love u trip.. i really do bro!
Been a rough two years, and this post is just bursting with honest truth. Much needed for this father of three girls, and husband to an author and speaker whose message has changed from the challenges of marriage and motherhood to persevering when all seems lost.
Your track, Man ir labi, has been my theme song the past two years, ceļojums. I don’t crank any song louder, and I couldn’t have asked God to pen words that spoke any deeper to my soul. There are moments when even the smallest thoughts of suicide crossed my mind. You sure feel like you’re at war when that’s the honest truth.
But real hope and real change are much more worth it than giving up. That’s so true. There’s a fight to be fought for each of us. I appreciate you taking the time to pen these words, ceļojums. I’ll be reading through this post a few more times. Praising God for speaking through you in our earbuds, on the stage, at the pulpit, in your home, and on the web.
ceļojums, keep writing man! Your last two posts have spoke to exactly where I’m at in life and I’ve come across them just when I needed to. God is undoubtedly working through you.
What you said has help me to understand somethings and will mean alot to me. The message relates alot with what i have been going through for about 5 years and still going through now.Thank you Trip Lee.
it’s true for the christian who walks by faith and not by sight.i have been in hard times; where everything was goings against my expectations.It became even harder to keep my trust in the Lord but because i knew that the pain i was experiencing was temporary and designed to make me stronger not to destroy me.i held on Jesus and here i am i prevailed.
I think you have this piece contains a lot of truths. Certainly as a believer what does kill me or does only makes me stronger. God bless you and give you the insight to speak more of His truths to His people.
Hi Trip
Thank you for this message. I has really encouraged me because I have been having a tough time for around 12 gadiem, battling with an unheard of illness and I really want to deepen my relationship with God. I’m at the point where nowadays I just feel numb to emotions, but I believe that the Holy Spirit is urging me to trust Jesus and depend on Him.
Such an enlightened post and really helps you put things in perspective, just lost my brother 3 months ago to multiple myeloma and my mum is in the severe stages of dementia I know that to be able to cope I have to draw my strength from God, and rejoice that the day before he pass he let me lead him to the Lord and gave his life. Keep up the good work, you are inspiring my 18 year old son to write music and keep up with his piano, stay blessed!
Hi Trip,
You always have a way of putting into words what I think but am unable to write. You have many true talents. Thank you for using them for what you were called to do. God bless you brother.
Mr. Barefield…….you are a wonderful, shining example of God’s love. He has blessed you in lyric to share His message. I appreciate reading what you write, listening to your music and would love to hear you in person some time. Thanks for being obedient in sharing God’s words; always, pozitīvs, uplifting and right on point! Good Bless You Brother!
I lost my job today and I can’t tell you how much of an answer to prayer this is! After I left I kept crying out tell me what to do tell me please. Now I know. I need to stay humble and realize the next job he gives me is from him not of my works!

Amen to that man!
Your explanation of our fathers meanings always give me understanding. Thank you Trip and please continue to help to open my eyes.

āmen, Blessings to you.
Preach it trip!
āmen. Thank you so much for your spirit filled guidance and teaching. Love this blog!
I agree that often times when people offer up the sayings you used, they don’t always make you feel better. My family and I experienced that this summer at my cousin’s funeral. He was shot and killed by someone he considered a friend, two days before his 19th birthday. None of the so-called encouraging words were helpful because the main question we all had was, ” Why him, he was just a ‘baby?” bet, afterwards we look back and see that even though it was a sad occasion it brought our family closer together and reevaluate our relationships with each other and with God. We also gained a new family member not soon after in his daughter, who could be his twin.
I so needed to read this right now. lai Dievs tevi svētī.
This is so encouraging..God has never failed and he is not about to start with any of his children..we just need to keep hope alive and believe that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Romans 8:18 says for I reckon that the sufferings of this present times are not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us..amen
Yet again, I have been cut to heart!I am ill at the moment and I was wondering why the Lord was letting these things happened to me. In my boredom I was going through the FB pages of my favourite celebs and I came across your website. Alas! The Lord answered my prayer and spoke directly to me! (Through Trip) It’s like Trips messages are tailored just for me (That’s because the Holy Spirit is using him to minister to us)….God always rebukes me through him (his music,blog posts and sermons) I think I was focusing to much on this hotel that isn’t my home. So now I know why I am ill (what the Lord is trying to teach me through this trial)…God continue to bless you Trip Lee, it’s amazing that your ministry reaches us (the saints in Africa) and though we’ve never met, I feel like I know you personally because I can relate to everything you say. And because your music really rebukes, encourages, corrects, teaches me!….. Paliec svētīts!!!!!!!!!
yeasss
i get this
tiešām
i feel it
bless you BroTrip
“Our humility is more important than our happiness.” That really hit me man. Keep making that good music and God bless.
I am appreciative and encouraged by this…āmen!
