Never Fear Adversity, Because God Will Bring You Through It a Stronger and Better Man.
Muscle, the only way you can make it bigger is to first tear it down. You get mental and emotional strength the same way, don't you? Funny, isn't it? A man doesn't really grow unless he has to push against difficult circumstances. Mental toughness is hard to develop with no challenges to sharpen your brain. Endurance isn't endurance until it's tested. And determination is only big talk without a problem to prove it. God knows your strengths. He knows your capabilities. He knows how much you can endure and how strong you can become. He will never take you past your limits, but He'll certainly take you to them. And if you can continue to trust Him through the process, you'll come out even stronger than you are now.
'We are always in the forge, or on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.' ~H. W. Beecher
Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort, or fall into various temptations. Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. James 1:2-3 AMP
