We don't have to face those experiences alone. Jesus has been there and will be there for us. He can help us see and understand that the testing we face, the struggles we know, can make us stronger, and empower us for the rest of our life and enable us to tell others about God's love and help. There are many other people who need to hear the good news that God is love and willing to walk life's journey with us. Hurting people, sad people, lonely people, angry people.
People way out in the wilderness.
If we let God walk with us, we can have the joy and privilege of sharing God's good news with them. That can turn our wilderness experience into a real blessing.
