The truth is that most of us blind ourselves to our defects until some tragedy happens. They force us into a position where we have to choose hope and in that very process we come alive again. You cannot live with challenges without hope. Your haves must never catch up with your hopes. Let us hold fast to our hope, for God who promised is faithful.
Every problem is really good news.
God allows problems so that we can be challenged and stretched. You will never grow stagnant as long as your haves do not catch up to your hopes. So, when you run into problems, view them as possibilities. After all, just because nothing can be done is no excuse to do nothing. I heard the story the other day, of a family who went camping.
