“You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” (2 Timothy 2:3)
Someone asked the question, “Why am I always struggling??” Of course, no one is always struggling but life can make us feel that way sometimes. Yet, we thank God for the struggle. Because it is because of the struggle that we have met God. “O, Christian, because Christ sticks close, the devil will stick close too; he will be at you and with you; the dog of hell will never cease his howlings, till you reach the other side of Jordan; no place in this world is out of bow-shot of that great enemy; till you have crossed the stream his arrows can reach you, and they will. If Christ gave himself for you, the devil will do all he can to destroy you; if Christ has been long-suffering to you, Satan will be persevering, in hopes that Christ may forget you; he will strive after you, and strive until he shall see you safely landed in heaven. But be not disappointed: the louder Satan roars, the more proof you shall have of Christ's love.” (Charles Spurgeon) We can do hard things. GiGi❤️
