Conversion to the gospel is not something that happens easily. As for me, I slowly started to gain it as I coursed through trials in life, both my own, and of those close to me.
I've experienced significant challenges this year, from disappointment, to frustrations, to hopelessness. But these have helped me see the tender mercies of the Lord in my life and my family. These challenges have reminded me that the Lord will never ask us to run faster than we have strength, and that He will never leave us unaided.
We will never run out of challenges in this life, but we can definitely choose to look for the beauty in life and look forward to the blessings that the Lord has prepared for us as we choose to try be better each day. He knows us individually. He knows our greatest fears, and the deepest desires of our hearts. He loves us.
So for you who's struggling, let us courageously and faithfully overcome our trials. Hang in there brave heart! Brighter days are ahead!
