"Attempt something large enough that failure is guaranteed unless God steps in." -Pastor Bill

life is hard

The older I get, the more I believe that life is supposed to be hard. We should not be striving to obtain the American Dream mantra that is advertised our whole lives. Life should be hard. We should have struggles. We should be loving people that are difficult to love. We should be bearing the burdens of others. We should be spending time with people who make us uncomfortable. We should be giving away something that requires real sacrifice. We should be doing something that scares us, that we feel ill equipped for. For it is in this state that we see God's grace, His mercy, and He gets the glory. Next time someone asks you how things are going, will you say, "Just fine!" Should you?
