Hardship Is the Greatest Blessing God Can Bestow on Us

By Xiang Yang

  One day, I read a fable. There was once a farmer who hoped that his wheat would not be affected by any terrible weather while it was growing, but would grow tall and strong in light winds and sunshine. But when his wish was realized and the time came to collect the harvest, the wheat held no grain. As it happens, if wheat is not baptized through all kinds of hard weather as it grows, it will not bear a rich harvest.

Chen Zhi was born into an impoverished farming family. At school, "Knowledge can change your fate" and "One's destiny is in his own hand" as taught by the school became his mottos. He believed that as long as he constantly worked hard, he would be able to be a cut above the rest, and achieve merit and fame. On graduation from university, Chen Zhi found a quite well-paid job in foreign trade. However, he was not at all satisfied with his current circumstances. In order to realize his ideal of being a cut above others, he quit his job and set up his own trading company. But the good times did not last for long. Because the operation was not well-run, clients became fewer, and the company's business slackened off. In the end, the company could not continue operating. After the firm went out of business, Chen Zhi was most unwilling to accept failure. He believed that by relying on his own intelligence and ability, as long as he persevered he would be able to make a comeback. Later on, Chen Zhi set up a digital marketing website and established a business on the Internet. After rushing about busily for a number of years, he still ended up in failure. Chen Zhi sank into profound distress and hopelessness …

In 2016, Chen Zhi's family went to the United States to live. With the help of his wife, he accepted the last days' work of Almighty God. Through reading the words of God, Chen Zhi eventually understood that God controls the destiny of mankind, and that man simply cannot change his own destiny relying on his own ability. He also knew the source of man's distress during his life, and how Satan has corrupted mankind. He came to know that if man is to live a meaningful life, then he must come before God, accept the judgmentand chastisement of God's words to obtain cleansing, and live relying on the words of God, and only then will he obtain God's praise. Chen Zhi understood some truths in the words of Almighty God, established a correct outlook on life, entrusted his whole life to God, obeyed God's control and arrangements, and finally rid himself of the yoke on his soul of "One's destiny is in his own hand," and obtained release and freedom. From then on he walked onto the bright and correct path of life.

Christian Song "The Sorrow of Corrupt Mankind" God's Revelation of Corrupt Mankind in the Last Days

I

Walking through the ages with God, who's known that God rules all things, the fate of all living beings, orchestrating, guiding everything? This has eluded human minds not because God's ways are vague or His plan hasn't been realized. For man's heart and spirit are far from God. Even as they follow God, though they may not see, they are still in service to Satan. No one seeks out God's footsteps or His appearance. None desire His care and watch of them. But they're willing to depend on the evil one to adapt to this world and its creeds. And man's heart and spirit fall into Satan's hands, and become the food on which it feeds. They become the food on which it feeds.

II

See the human spirit and heart now a place where Satan dwells, where it plays as it wants. Human understanding fades away, no more seeing their purpose and worth, what it means to be human, no longer seeking God, hearts ignore God's covenant and laws. As time passes who can tell, who can understand why God created the human race? No one comprehends the words from the mouth of God, or can realize all that's from Him. They begin to resist all God's decrees and laws; deadened hearts and spirits soon follow. Thus God loses man He made, and man's root is lost. This is humankind's tragic sorrow. Here lies humankind's tragic sorrow.

Best Gospel Song | How Great Is Our God | "How God Rules Over All Things"

From the moment you come crying into this world,

you begin to perform your duty.

In the plan and ordination of God, you assume your role,

and begin the journey of life.

Whatever your background or the journey ahead of you,

none can escape the orchestration and arrangement that Heaven has in store,

and none are in control of their destiny,

for only He who rules over all things is capable of such work.

Gospel Song 2018 "All Things Are in God's Hand"

Gospel Song 2018 "All Things Are in God's Hand"

                        I

God had once said such words:

What God says counts and shall come to pass,

can’t be changed by anyone.

No matter if it’s words said before

or words yet to be said,

they all shall be fulfilled,

so that everyone can see

everything in the universe is determined by God.

What is not in the hands of God?

Anything that God says will be done.

Who is able to change the will of God?

Nothing can hinder God’s plan from moving ahead.

God is working at all times.

All things are in God’s hand.

English Christian Song "God's Love Has Melted My Heart"

I

I’ve often been cold to You, hurt and saddened You,

hard-hearted, rebelled, left You alone.

Why is Your love for man repaid with pain?

I hate my hard heart and my deep corruption.

Filthy, unworthy to see You, of Your love.

I am such a rebellious person,

how could I know Your heart, see Your love?
