Living through the Hard Times
In life, it is foolish to live for what is easy and to make your primary goal to get away from difficult situations. Start out assuming that life is going to be hard. There are going to be days that you wish you could erase from your memory, moments that break your heart. Instead of making it your goal to avoid these times, make it your goal to live through these moments with perseverance, grace, understanding, and patience. Don't give up just because it's hard. Don't give up on someone just because they aren't perfect. Life is difficult, but if you give up on everything that is hard or painful sometimes, you will likely miss out on some of the best things in life. Few things worth having come easily.

True. Reminds me of Romans 5: "And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
