I have been intrigued by the number of people in the Bible who God mightily used, and yet, there was no demand on them to change before He used them. People were picked from their miry clay and set on higher grounds for His purpose; nonetheless, their characters remained the same. God created us and endowed us with our personalities and feelings, which defines who we are as His children. This made me wonder, if God is willing to use us despite our characters and behaviours, then what does He really want from us? What does God want from a relationship with His children?

Psalm 78:3-4 TPT

Life takes us through unusual and exciting times where sometimes we don’t want the experience to end, and other times all we want is an end in sight. The one thing life offers us, irrespective of the kind of experience, are life lessons. These lessons may be caught right in the middle of the situation or, most times, in hindsight. It is these teachable moments that I want to highlight. I believe we can look on our lives into problems we thought we couldn’t go through and times we felt we didn’t know how to survive and be grateful for those teachable moments.
