Every once in awhile I sorta feel like if I'm not suffering or going through a hard time I'm not learning something. Like probably almost all of the inspiration I get for my blog posts come from going through a period of trouble or questioning.
Everybody knows the phrase "You learn most from your mistakes." I feel like that statement is just so true. I know its sounds really weird, but when I feel like I'm not going through a hard time or have a difficult question I'm trying to get answered, I don't feel like I'm growing closer to God. If I don't feel like I need to fix anything I can't really push forward to find growth.
Now I must say that when I feel like I don't have and troubles or questions to get answered I am sadly being very hypocritical and prideful of myself. Seriously we are human and have faults, we are not like God who is faultless. So many times we must search out our hearts and minds for things that are amiss.
So what this really all comes down to is that when I feel like I'm "alright" and everything is going well, everything is not. There is no way I can think that I don't have a problem and not be prideful. So a lot of times the first step of being able to learn from your mistakes is knowing and realizing what your mistakes are. Only until you diagnose the problem can you fix it.
We must learn from our troubles and mistakes if we are going to gain knowledge and understanding.
Rejoice in the pain, sorrow, hardships, and times of struggle because they can produce much knowledge and wisdom if you learn from what those times teach. We should profoundly understand that there are great learning opportunities hidden in struggles.
