Easy victories are the leader's worst enemy. Adversity and difficult situations break us out of that rut and bring out our creative strengths. Life’s greatest lessons come from our greatest challenges. Remember how the caterpillar has to struggle from its cocoon to become a fully grown butterfly. We too grow to be all God wants us to be through the struggles. And struggles can make you bitter. . .or make you better.
So look for what God is trying to teach you the next time you face a challenge. In the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job, Job says: “After these trials, I will come forth as gold.” Look for the gold in this refining process.
