I recently saw a post about a young man who got injured while doing something he enjoyed and ended up having to walk with crutches. It was very hard for him to adjust since he was a very active person, but instead of letting that keep him down, he accepted it and thought of different ways to still get around and do what he loved—like going on, and almost completing a mile hike with crutches. He didn’t let his circumstances hold him back or stop him from doing the things he enjoyed.
After reading that post, it got me thinking. In life, we often give up when faced with difficulties instead of working through them. Don’t let problems or hardships stop you from pursuing or doing what you love. Sometimes God allows us to go through hard times or lets things happen to see if we will still trust Him through the process, and to see how we handle it.
Instead of being down in the dumps about the things we go through or the problems we face in life, let’s face them differently. It may not be something physical you’re going through, but whatever it is, keep pushing no matter what. Difficulties and trials come to make us stronger, and it’s up to us how we go through them.
So I just want to remind you to trust the process, keep going, and learn to find the lesson or the blessing in whatever you face or go through.
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:2-4
