Storms of Life

"And after you have suffered a little while, God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."1 Peter 5:10
Sometimes you will realize that the scariest storms often turn into the most glorious skies, and that the seeds we bury in the ground come to life in the most extraordinary ways and that even the toughest experiences can result in miracles."
Why is it after a bad or ugly storm we fear, end up resulting in such amazing skies, the hilltops are greener, the air is fresher and we are happier? It makes total sense in regards with weather.  Well, there is a calm after the storms of life as well. It may be hard and something you do not want to repeat again. We sometimes forget that a storm is usually short lived, but just like our memory from some dark skies, and scary winds that can cause unpredictable damage, we only wish would go away come the morning, so your storm of life you are facing or may face in the future will pass. There are however many times a storm (trial of life) that last longer than expected. Try to remember the good that came from others around you who also experienced these rough and windy times of life, we know there is  joy that comes in the morning...the calm after the storm. This is called HOPE. In Romans 8:25 it says "Be if we hope for what we do not see, we wait patiently for it."
