Psalm 17:23 "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and He delights in HIs way."  

Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye." 

Sometimes we don't know why we have experienced so many hardships in our lives. We even question "what was the purpose?" Especially, when we don't know that they were strategically designed to teach us a lesson. 

These lesson's come in many different ways. Some are swift just to teach you; "Hey tweak your attitude." Some come to teach you how to love yourself and others. The most impactful are the painful ones that last a long time. For these are to build strength and character." Others specifically targeted an area of your life that needed to be shifted into another direction.  

All in all, lessons teach, shift, change, create, direct and improve you to be better, stronger, healthier, wiser, and a happier person, Embrace the lessons, for what they taught you and appreciate how it catapulted you into your growth." 

The following is an excerpt from a poem I wrote titled "Lessons" and it goes like this...  

"Life lessons can come in many forms and in many ways

You can go through simple lessons and not experience much distress

Or on the other hand, experience extensive lessons which cause great trauma

Hard lessons in life make us wiser

Hurtful lessons makes us stronger.

"There are times when these lessons brings forth great results

Turn the mishaps around into something positive

Then through your own lesson

You will be teaching others and touching other peoples lives.

Remember that in every life lesson you experience

There is wisdom, character, and integrity to gain

For each life lessons bring us closer to God."
