Many times when hardship comes, we have our own plans for how to handle it.
We have plan A, B, C, D, etc., and after we have exhausted all of those, we find ourselves in that place where we say, “If God doesn’t come through for me, it is over with. This is horrible.” But actually, it is not horrible because it is an opportunity for God to show His glory.
When times are tough, we have a built-in instinct to become dependent upon God for strength that is needed. It is obvious that so many of us are growing weary in these dark days of oppression that we live.
Struggles surround us at every corner, and it is hard to stave off the growing fears of uncertainty. We were told in the Scripture that these times would come and test the faithful.
Remember, when you get to the end of yourself, you get to the beginning of God.

"It takes strength to be gentle and kind over, over, over, over. It's so easy to laugh. It's so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind over, over, over, over again." Morrisey

Treating others how you want to be treated, simply putting that kindness out into the world, will ripple outward and eventually will return back to you (in one way or another).
