Transcript: Overcoming Painful Seasons with Faith | John Giftah on UltimateTube

So so what I what I learned is that sometimes God will allow things in your life to get your attention. And it's up to us to, you know, to be recognizing those moments. And I feel like I missed an opportunity. I could have spent that 18 months really drawing closer to God. And I missed that opportunity. But because he's so good, he was able to turn my ashes into beauty. He still redeemed me. He still got me through that time. but it taught me to be more cognizant and to recognize those moments. When we look at, they might be tragedy, they might be trial, they might be obstacles, but in those moments, those are moments for us to actually draw closer to God and to really know his heart. And I believe I definitely missed out on that opportunity.
