Molded by challenges!

I think we have all heard the saying, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!" And also "God never gives us problems we can't handle!" In life, sometimes we are faced with challenges that seem insurmountable. There is no life that is bereft of challengers and problems ("the rich also cry'). Everybody's got problems and if we could switch lives and truly walk in someone else's "shoes", we would realize that!

Some precious metals like gold, must be purified by fire. There is always a test in life for you to prove your worth! Everyone has to go through something and if you persevere and get through it, you will be all the better and stronger for it and that situation or challenge will teach you a life lesson. Some situations like certain illnesses are difficult to overcome especially the terminal and incurable ones but part of recovery is fighting the illness with your will to live. If you give up the fight when you are sick, you will surely die!

Challenges will come and go but your spirit must remain unbroken by them! May God give you the strength to weather any storm! Amen.
