Monday Meditation

Burdens are the foundations of ease and bitter things the forerunners of pleasure.

    Difficulties can either help us or hinder us--it is completely our choice. If we learn from them, they are the foundations to a new, stronger and better self.

    Build from your burdens, don't let the burdens overwhelm and build on top of you.

    2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4
