The author's name is Larry Lee Hagen Jr. For the whole of his life, he has been told that he sees things differently than other people. He supposes that's true now more than ever. He has known many storms in his life, as have many other people. Some of these he brought upon himself, while many others were purely by circumstance. God led him through all of them.
They say life's challenges will either break us or make us stronger. He has learned that sometimes God allows the storms of life because He wants them to break us. They are the tools He uses to bring low the high and mighty and humble the proud. They are the things He uses when we make Him ride in the back of the bus. They turn us back to Him when nothing else will.
This world is broken. The days are growing darker, and the storms are growing worse. As we watch these storm clouds spread, it is crucial that we view them through God's eyes. We can only see clearly when we look at ourselves and the world around us from His perspective. That's when things begin to change.
Read Lessons from God and be better prepared for the storms in your life.
