Successful Christians who win in life are the ones who have learned to walk by faith in God’s grace in the middle of painful, uncomfortable circumstances. God uses the trouble and persecution we go through to mature and grow us. Trusting Him in bad situations allows Him to strengthen us and teach us wisdom as we gradually transform into the image of Jesus Christ. However, we don’t become stronger simply by passively putting up with adversity; we develop and grow by actively resisting it and moving through it. Our trust in Jesus should be independent of our emotions; we walk by faith, not by feelings. This applies to our marital relationships as well as to every other aspect of our lives. Embracing the pain instead of running away from it brings us to a greater level of emotional maturity.
