Thursday Thought: If life were easy, it wouldn't be hard

Obviously! But why is that even helpful? I fell into a trap for awhile of thinking that life should be easy… if I was doing it right. If life was hard then I must be doing something wrong.

What if life is hard precisely because you’re doing something right? What if life is hard because you’re going through something that is stretching you and making you grow?

So, yes, ”men are that they might have joy”. It’s something we want to seek after. But it’s not everything. There’s also ”opposition in ALL things“. If life were easy, it wouldn’t be hard. If life is feeling extra hard right now, try asking yourself what you’re doing right that is making it so hard. Are you raising kids? Are you married? Are you trying to take care of your body? Are you trying to live righteously? If you’re trying, you’re doing something right, that makes life hard.
