Hardship

“People avoid those things that give them pause... but that struggle and hardship is what builds character and builds strength and resilience,” exhorted Commander Rorke Denver, who was a US Navy Seal. Many in Christianity have lost the zeal to fight through the hard times. Wishfully, we have believed if God is for us then life should be easy. Nowhere in the Bible is that the case. Jesus earnestly desired for deliverance from the cross, but it was not God's plan. If God would not make it easy on His own son, what makes us think it would be different for us? This note is suppose to encourage you, so let's get to the encouraging word. 1 John 5:5-6, “Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God? And Jesus Christ was revealed as God's Son by his baptism in water and by shedding his blood on the cross--not by water only, but by water and blood. And the Spirit, who is truth, confirms it with his testimony.” God expects – no commands us to overcome thereby showing Jesus is God's Son which He sent to save the world. You can do it! Be an overcomer today building character, strength, and resilience through your belief in Jesus.
