Psalm 31:24<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So what are silver linings, and how do they help make our lives easier? A silver lining is a way of looking at things that helps us find hope in adversity when we struggle through tough times. At first, looking for silver linings when we face challenges can be a bit of a challenge. However, with a little practice, we can learn to search for the God\u2019s grace and blessings in every circumstance no matter what is before us. That\u2019s right\u2014no matter what!<\/p>\n

Always Dare to Look for the Good<\/em><\/p>\n

When we dare to look for the good, the bright side \u2013even hope against all odds\u2013in any and every circumstance\u2013we will find them through looking for silver linings! Though it may sound a little too easy\u2014even unrealistic and impossible at times, it is definitely possible to eventually see something positive come out of almost every circumstance. Though sometimes it may be a little harder than others, we can see God\u2019s hand in everything that happens in our lives. Once you realize Jesus is with you paving the way, fighting your battles with you and for you, it gets easier. When you trust Him and believe that He will never leave you nor forsake you. When you come to know that with Jesus you are never alone in your plight, it can become second nature to look for the silver linings God sends into every situation. It is then that you can let go of fear and sadness, disappointment and anger, and experience the tremendous calm and peace that surpasses all understanding with a sense that \u2018all is well\u2019 that can only come from God\u2019s presence, undeserved grace, and blessings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sometimes things seem so out of control, impossible to deal with\u2014even dire. That is when we need to try to find silver linings the most! I learned a lot about looking for silver linings when I was young as my mother would often tell me:\u00a0 Count your blessings! I\u2019m here to tell you she was right! Silver linings can give\u00a0us peace of mind, especially when we are in greatest need of hope or a new perspective, They have the power to equip and enable us to see the good in almost every situation and relationship, so we can keep our wits about us, maintain our composure, and not become bitter, crumble, or break under what is unfolding before us, transpiring in our life that is trying our very soul with the potential to leave us feeling devastated.<\/p>\n

Silver Linings & Gratitude<\/em><\/p>\n

If you look for silver linings in every situation you face, you will find them! They will help you rise above what you are enduring. And it only gets better from there. As you grow in gratitude to God and trust in His divine purpose and plan for you and your loved ones, you will soon find that whatever is happening is not as dire or impossible as it seems. When you invite Jesus into your life, and understand that He is at the helm; He is the hope you need, things begin to change.<\/p>\n

You will begin to see adversity as a personal growth opportunity, part of your healing, a test of your faith, or something that will help you move toward a closer relationship with Jesus. You will see God working in your life in all things great and small\u2013 as you defer to Him and revel in His saving grace. You may even realize that the adversity you face is saving you from something far worse than what you are enduring!<\/p>\n

When we find silver linings, we realize that Jesus is with us no matter what! He is working all things out for good, especially when we are hurting or struggling in most. Silver linings serve as a powerful reminder that Jesus loves us through it all like no one else ever could. We are not alone! He loves us enough to help us seek and find Him the good in all things, regardless of what we must endure, hence helping us grow closer to Him\u2014because of the adversities we endure.. Jesus is especially present when we are hurting in any way due to infirmity, disability, grief, broken-hearted, financial strain or poverty; feeling anxious, depressed, living with bipolar disorder, or addiction\u2014any kind of challenge. Silver linings also serve as tremendous reminders that Jesus is working all things out for good. If you look around you, there are God-given silver linings are all around you, and hence blessings abound. They are just waiting for you to discover and embrace them.<\/p>\n
