“EVERY trouble is an opportunity to win the grace of strength. Whatever else trouble is in the world for, it is here for this good purpose: to develop strength. For a trouble is a moral and spiritual task. It is something which is hard to do. And it is in the spiritual world as in the physical, strength is increased by encounter with the difficult. A world without any trouble in it would be, to people of our kind, a place of spiritual enervation and moral laziness. Fortunately, every day is crowded with care. Every day to every one of us brings its questions, its worries, and its tasks, brings its sufficiency of trouble. Thus we get our daily spiritual exercise. Every day we are blessed with new opportunities for the development of strength of soul. ” GEORGE HODGES I love this quote….but sadly rather than seeing my problems as an opportunity for growth so often I see them as a hindrance. Everyday I wake up with a list of all the things I wish God would change in my life. However, today I will be different…Daddy thank you for all the struggles in my life…thank you for the mysteries, the doubts, the inconveniences, the frustrations, and the all the hard things I am faced with. I know that you are a good Father, and that not one of these things will be wasted in your hands. That everything is used to bring me from glory to glory as I grow to look more like you. Help me to see my troubles as opportunities rather heartache. Thank you for loving me better than I could love myself.
