Many of the sweetest things in life come by persisting through the prickly parts.
The labor to bear a child, grueling steps to climb a mountain, the sitting to write a book, suffering endured to restore health, sacrificial living to repay a debt, ceaseless effort to build a business, a home, a relationship. These things come at great price. They bear much reward.
Wherever you find yourself today, remember there was a purpose in coming to this place. Something precious is waiting to be found.
Seek it. Do not give up. Discover the beauty of difficult places. Look with new eyes.
And before you know it, it will be time to move on.
Amen.
