"We can let life’s hurdles and hardships be like arrows pointing us deeper to the heart of Jesus.
Imagine Jesus leaning in close and saying,
Yes, in all things my Father works for the good of those who love Him. (Romans 8:28)
Yes, daughters, do not grow weary or lose heart. I endured the cross so you can endure whatever you face. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Yes, don’t give up! In me you will never be overcome or crushed. Affliction and persecution will come but in Me you’ll find unending joy and unconditional love. (2 Corinthians 4:7-18)
Jesus isn’t advocating for us to shove hard things under the rug or slap on a mask of false positivity. No, He’s offering us the truth:
When we rely on God all things really are possible – and our capacity for resiliency is just one example.
We can allow disappointment and bitterness to choke out our zest for life and trust in God. Or we can let life’s hurdles and hardships be like arrows pointing us deeper to the heart of Jesus."
