Struggles Are Not Obstacles, But Instruments In God’s Hands…

We enter relationships for personal pleasure, self-realization, and fun. We want low personal cost and high self-defined returns.

But God wants high personal cost and high God-defined returns. And, although we frequently disagree with God, His plan is always better.

Beneath all our conflict with others lies a deeper conflict between these two agendas: Ours and God’s!

Struggles are not obstacles, but instruments in God’s hands. Every struggle is an opportunity to experience God’s grace yourself and give it to the other person.

If you look at your own character, some of your deepest growth has been born out of great stress and trial!
