Giving Up!

It's tough to endure hardship in the best of times, especially if you don't know why, it can be extremely frustrating! I'm reminded that "endurance" isn't just the ability to endure a hard thing, it's a part of the faith process to refine who I am. Enduring hardship is not denying reality or being "tough as nails" in hard times, it seeing the bigger picture and how it all relates to something that connects to your purpose! So may we not be moved, discouraged, or thrown by our situation, but rather endure for the purposes of The Kingdom!
