Stretched

by Bruce Wadd

 

A rubber band is only useful when it’s stretched!

 

Imagine someone with expensive braces on their teeth with no rubber bands – it just doesn’t work anywhere near as well! 

 

Consider a bungy chord that has no flexibility, it’s just steel rope – what a sudden shock for the participant!

 

Picture the difficulties an archer would have if there was no stretch in the string he uses to fire his arrow!

 

You were made for stretching.  Your character, designed by God, has a resilience that is only shown when being stretched. 

 

I wanted to encourage you, in those stretching times, to trust Him, that good can come out of this difficult time.  Stay in Him!

 

“Silver and gold are purified by fire, but God purifies hearts.”  Proverbs 17:3

 

Today, be stretched…and learn from the experience!
