Struggle/Victory
- February 24 Taken from A River of Hope
Sometimes our struggles defeat us emotionally. They test our faith and challenge our spiritual strength. We might feel like giving up or at least wish life could be easier. We can take comfort in the thought that struggles are an intricate part of the journey. They add substance to our personalities. They help us mature and grow along our way.
As we face each struggle and work our way through the pain, we eventually discover victory over despair. We are given the confidence and grace to overcome all obstacles. At each and every corner, victory is at hand. We can reach toward it. It is not as far as it might seem. In fact, it lies within.
Our lives are filled with many tough circumstances. In facing our challenges and accepting our burdens, we are equipped to begin on the road to victory. These are the first steps. We can see the hope that forever flickers in the distance. We can fan it to flame and embrace the light of its presence.
