Galatians 6:2-3 - It’s not either/or, it’s both/and

How many times do we let our problems, challenges, injuries, etc, define us and bring us down into a pit of darkness and depression when we should be seeking God and looking for what He is doing through our situations and what He is trying to show us and teach us?

When is a time that we have been going through a trial in our lives and questioned or doubted God regarding our circumstances only to find out that on the other side of it God has a plan and a purpose much greater and more wonderful than anything we can think or imagine?

How has God let you know He's not done with you yet when you have felt like you are done?
