“…I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.”2 Cor 12:10
When I tried to do everything alone, every challenge felt daunting—more inconvenience thrown my way. But when I sought help, my perspective shifted. Hard times offer a chance for my faith to shine. In my weakness, there’s space for God’s strength and others’ support to enter.
Challenges aren’t random nonsense. They’re a call for healing. Pain comes when we expose our weaknesses, our tender spots, which need help, healing, and often hard work.
In tough times, life weeds out fake people, revealing true supporters and areas for growth. It reminds me why I’m grateful for God and that I’m capable.
Today, I’m thankful for the chance to heal and grow.
Have a great week,
Neal
