There is enormous positive power in adversity!
Trying to avoid adversity is like trying to avoid life. If you are somehow able to hide from adversity, you are unlikely to be really living.
Adversity is what molds our character. When we view adversity as natural, normal, and in fact even necessary, it empowers us to take advantage of its potential for growth.
EVERY moment I give over to hurt or worry or anger or painful memories is a moment when I should/ could be praising God for how He's brought me through it!
Adversity, regardless of its origin, can be turned to our advantage when we trust God to be bigger, stronger, and more tenacious than anything we ever face.
Our life and each new day are true gifts from God. We're being hypocritical if we start each day by asking Him to be Lord over all I do and say, only to give in to thoughts that destroy and tear down our joy. It's the enemy who wants our joy, our happiness and our love for the Lord. We cannot forget to "whom" we belong. :)
You can discover the treasure within the trouble, but you must train yourself to look for it!
Blessings,
Dalinda
