Have you become bitter with life? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do the situations you’ve been dealt seem unfair? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well-meaning people will share the old adage, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” But your circumstance goes deeper than that…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They don’t understand that what you’ve really been dealt are just the bitter seeds. No juicy pulpiness you can add sugar to, making something better from it–just bitter lemon seeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you do when life goes wrong, takes an unplanned path, is overtaken with thorns, briars, even…quicksand? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You take it to God. You ask Him how to deal with it. Then, trust that He will bring something good from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Honestly, the best way to deal with bitter seeds is to sow them into fertile ground– good soil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have to be dried, planted, tended. You have to go through a lot to get them into that place where God uses His miracle-working power to bring forth something amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He WILL somehow grow a tree from your bitter seeds. And when you’ve survived the process, there will be fruit to share. THEN, you can make enough lemonade to refresh others who are weary from the way…. \u26f2 #BrendaDillon #ChristianBlog<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
