How to make lemonade – part 1

You’ve probably heard the expression, “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” What that means to me as a Christian is that God’s grace in Christ is greater than any problems we may face. Whether you can have joy in spite of sour circumstances, whether you are able to share sweetness in the midst of suffering depends on your perspective. If our focus is on this world, we have no sure hope. “I will lift my eyes unto the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord who made Heaven and earth. “God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NCV). When times are as unprecedented as they are now, looking to our Lord and laying hold of His good promises makes life sweeter!  So are you looking at lemons or making lemonade?
