Super Soul Sundays | The Greatest Teacher

---

So many times in life we shun away from people, or experiences, that we have found to hurt us in some way or another. However, through history, wisdom, and the word of God, we know that, "...all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord..." (Romans 8:28)
Knowing that God is a spiritual being, we recognize that he uses humans to fulfill his purpose. Our leader, Pastor Sheila Blair, uses this analogy often:
​
"For someone to get the oil out of an olive, the olive has to be crushed and pressed. The process remains the same in the spiritual realm with God. For us to be all he has designed, we have to go through our own crushing and pressing."

So many times we attempt to get away from what God is trying to use to make us better. Once we succumb to the power of God, and trust him fully, then we will be able to fulfill the purpose God put on our lives. Then, and only then, could we truly understand what is is meant by this quote:

"The person who has caused you the greatest humiliation, the greatest pain, the greatest suffering is also your greatest teacher, and we should be thanking that person."

Thank you Pema Chodron!
