Adversity a Collaboration

ADVERSITY

Adversity strengthens us...and God uses it to help mold us into stronger souls.
Adversity prepares a soul to be more passionate and purposeful about the things beyond mere 
mortality
Adversity increases wisdom when we allow God to do His work in our lives.
Adversity makes us advance into alluring aura and adored by angels if we ... But endure
And as we do, God will uplift our hearts and souls to that peaceful platitude where His purpose 
precludes personal praise.
So welcome adversity when if finds you; let your eyes be opened through forgiveness and love.
Find God whatever betides, because he is always in the storm with you, so do not think you are a 
worm
Let His word nourish you; when you find yourself in the black mire of despairs, remember, He is there.
When the skies turn scary and the rugged rod drops with dread, remember that the righteous 
rainbow resumes thereafter
He is a faithful friend and father that will never fail though flowers fade & fall, His faithfulness is 
forever.
God's glorious love will gladden the heart and transport the soul to solace where hope is fulfilled and 
eternity begins its joy.  Invite Him –
