Hardships
God does not lead His children around hardship, but leads them straight through hardship. He leads us through the valleys, and out of darkness in life, to streams of living water. Our nourishment can be found within the Bread of Life. Good can come out of bad situations. Never give in to empty solutions, easy way outs. Difficulty is part of life, hard times will come and go. And it may very well be to get your attention.
Good can come from hardships, like the precious jewel at first. It is rough around the edges. The Jeweler, just like God, works on that special jewel and never gives up. For within it he sees what can be. God has a plan for us, for He is the Master of all. We can find joy in hardships, loneliness, and disappointment. Joy is more about attitude, and what we learn during those times, rather than its circumstance.
strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God, they said. Acts 14:22
That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10
Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:3
