Good morning, Lord. I want to avoid hard times. I want to detour around the rough seasons. I want to skip life’s tough lessons. And yet, You use those tough lessons to chisel the sharp edges off my heart, to focus my eyes on You, to strengthen my soul. Those unwanted events build a solid foundation for my faith.
The easy life I desire would make me a spiritual wimp. Thank You, Lord, for lessons learned the hard way.
