We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.
Trouble is an asset—every improvement you’ve ever made is because of it.
Look at it this way. Your antagonist is your helper, shaping you into a stronger person today than you were yesterday. Trouble sharpens your wit, improves your skill, and transforms your spine into steel. Don’t run from it! Face it head-on, and rejoice at the opportunity to become an overcomer!
A diamond is a lump of coal, made great under pressure. This lump of worthless coal endured intense pressure in the bowels of the earth until its carbons were so tightly compacted that all it could do was reflect the glorious light of day when its opportunity came to shine.
What are you doing with your life? Are you going to remain a lump of coal, or are you working toward becoming a diamond? Don’t whine, but shine! God made you more priceless than any diamond; don’t sell yourself short!
