Tragedies and disasters can make us bitter or better

Pastor Gerrit Mes; from the pulpit.

Nobody looks at tragedy or disaster as a blessing. We don’t like it when things go wrong in our lives.

Over many years as a pastor I often have seen how tragedy and disasters have opened the door to new things, better things and great achievements. Acting like wake-up calls or move-on moments these disasters can be breakthrough opportunities.

Losing a job forces you to start your own business. Even the loss of a loved one can be the start of an amazing spiritual awakening.

Many people sitting in churches on Sundays don’t need a crutch but a purpose.

Religious people are not weak but sense there must be more to life.

Tragedies and disasters can make us bitter or better. You cannot change the cards life gives you, but you can play your cards with God’s help and turn disasters into blessings.

PS. Failing can be the beginning of success.
