Topic: Struggles And Obstacles. They Are Not Bad; They Make Us More Stronger And Successful If We Are Steadfast.

"In the presence of trouble some people grow wings; others buy crutches." - Harold W. Ruoff

Adversities not only changes people; but it also unmasks them.

Struggles, challenges and hard times offer us much more value than any other time in our lives. We cannot grow without struggle. We cannot get STRONGER without resistance.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9: Apostle Paul says, We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

We may be knocked down but we get up again and keep moving. That's what Paul shares with us. Apostle Paul though he faced so much of persecution and obstacles yet he was finally victorious and successful in his mission.

Growth and success does not eliminate obstacles; they create new opportunities to grow. God is always walking with us amidst life's challenges.

Do you know how baby giraffe enters the world? A baby giraffe falls ten feet from its mother's womb and usually lands in its back. Within seconds it rolls over and tucks its legs under its body. From this position it looks at the world for the first time. Then the mother giraffe rudely introduces her offspring to the reality of life. How? By kicking the calf head over heels repeatedly until the calf rises to its feet for the first time.

The calf benefits from this harsh treatment by learning to move quickly around predators. This keeps the calf safe. The harsh treatment initially from the mother taught the baby giraffe the lessons to learn to be safe and alert in the world.

We too need to change the way we view obstacles. In the midst of trials, God wants us to grow steadily and become strong. Trials actually as I said, provide us opportunity to grow and not die. Obstacles can only detour us, but cannot stop us. All obstacles in life reveal what we really believe and who we really are.

Our struggles may be lasting but not everlasting. They are just part of our lives.....
