I've heard a lot of distressing news lately about sickness, death and just daily struggles of others. It makes me appreciate the blessings in my life more.
Some wonder why we have struggles but there is value in them. Perseverance --the greater the obstacle, the greater the glory in overcoming it. Romans 5;2-4 ''And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.'' If you hadn't been there and done that thru a struggle, could you've ever known you could make it thru it? Our battle stories help others while they are going thru a similar fight. Everyone you meet is fighting a battle of some kind so be merciful.
Life is good....and it's all good. Even the girl in the caption is going thru the bumps and rocky spots of life but she can smile thru it all. She even has one hand off the steering wheel because she knows Who really has got it all under control.
