“Nothing worth having ever came easy.”
So, for that job that you have that becomes so difficult you want to quit, remember that.
For that schooling that you think that you’ll never understand, remember that.
For that marriage that you actually have to work on, remember that.
For those friendship spats, remember that.
For that church you’re trying to plant, remember that.
For that person that you’re trying to get along with in your church, remember that.
For that project you’re working on…
Remember that.
Because there is beauty in all of this.
What is that one thing that you’ve put all your blood, sweat and tears into?
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
amen
As of late, my upcoming marriage.
will be praying for that
So good! Great reminder.
A few thoughts about this and if it is indeed Biblical, after all, isn’t that the litmus test of all our beliefs? It certainly fits into a Western philosophy but my personal belief is that it is not Biblical. Christ tells us that his burden is easy and his yoke is light, that’s grace. We get so much more that we deserve, ask for, work for, even believe and pray for than we imagine. So, not only can I achieve the impossible with Christ, but it wasn’t me who worked for it.
Besides, who can also remember things we did work hard for and they ended up not being worth the time spent.
so nobody worked hard for things in the Bible?
