Life is hard. It is a constant battle of expectations met with disappointment.
Life can knock you down. It can break your heart.
We are all fighting to survive, to provide for ourselves, and for those we love.
Life is an uphill battle, all the way.
Sometimes you just want to give up & throw in the towel.
Today has been one of those days.
Disappointment, sadness, uncertainty for the future, trying to do what's best for everyone, being pulled in many directions.
We often lose sight of the goal toward which we are pressing.
God doesn't give amazing people easy lives.
It's the struggle, the uphill battle, the constant difference of God's people from the world that will make Heaven that much more sweet.
This dark world makes us long for Glory.
The things of this world are not meant to satisfy. If we seek to be fulfilled here, we will never have enough.
When you feel like giving up, think of the One who gave up his life for you.
When you feel uncertainty about your future, remember that the one thing in your future that you can depend on is what matters most.
When you feel alone in the world, think of the One who said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
Life is not easy, but it's worth it.
