Life handing you lemons?

There is an author, Norman Vincent Peale, who wrote this, "When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade."

Do you sometimes find yourself in an impossible situation? Maybe it's a relationship that is not going anywhere, or stagnant at best. Maybe it's a prior diagnosis that has you worried and up at night wondering what's going to happen.

With God there is always hope, no matter how bad things get. What looks impossible to man is always possible with God.

It's not easy navigating through life. It's impossible to get through life here on earth without God in it. How do I know this? I've tried both ways.

I was rebellious in my early 20's and 30's. Although I was saved at an early age of 16, after a few years, I left God's ways and thought I could do things on my own. I found out very quickly how hard life was without God. You see, my vision of happiness was dependent on my current circumstances and how I could change things that were not working.

I could have been making lemonade with all those lemons that were handed to me, but I didn't.

God turned my life around in my mid 30's and I've never looked back. I'm not saying it was an easy life after that, but I am saying that nothing was impossible for my God. I didn't always understand why God took me down some roads, but I did trust that His ways were the best way.

Trust God to make your lemons into lemonade.

Mark 10:27 – "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God."
