Dear Boys and Girls,

Although some of you are quite young, I am sure that you sometimes encounter difficulties. Do not be discouraged. Remember difficulties or hard places help us to know the resources of God. Through difficult circumstances we learn His sufficiency

When God led the children of Israel though the wilderness, they experienced hard times and were exposed to a situation where there were no natural supplies of any kind. God wanted to teach them that He was adequate for their every need and that man 'shall not live by bread alone.' God met their need.

Boys and girls, every difficult situation is just a vessel for him to fill and an occasion for Him to show Himself in His infinite wisdom, power and grace.

The apostle Paul tells us that he was exposed to every sort of difficulty in order that the power of Christ might rest upon him according to his needs. He therefore welcomed every situation as another occasion for Him to say 'My grace is sufficient for thee.'

So boys and girls, you will find that God comes in time to take care of every hard place in your lives. You will be able to tell the world that He supplies your every need 'according to His riches in glory.' Yes He can!

With love ,

Your Sister in Christ.
