“There is something magnificently wondrous about waking each day to fight through our struggles. There is goodness in having to struggle and wrestle with an issue. We are strengthened in weakness and made more reliant on God.

Imagine life without a battle to fight. Nothing to test or challenge us. No opponent with which to grapple. Nothing against which to chisel our muscle, mind, spirit and being. No high mountain to climb. Nothing to gauge from where we have come. No joy in the victory; no lessons to learn from defeat. Nothing to rest from in our eternal rest.”
