Inspiring Quotes "Considered"


Inspirational Thoughts about:

"Difficulties are God's errands; and when we are sent upon them we should esteem it a proof of God's confidence--as a compliment from God." - Henry Ward Beecher

Why do we face this challenge or that difficult situation? When undesirable happenings show up in our lives, it's sometimes easy to just throw up our hands and grumble.

But consider for a moment that nothing has ever been thrown our way that we couldn't handle. The proof is that we have persevered and are still alive today. And whether or not our outcomes have been exactly as we would have liked, we've most likely learned something valuable in the process. Shaping who we are today, and the consciousness we hold.

Often the largest of life changes offer us the most significant blessings. Many folks lose a job and end up finding a much better replacement. Others end a relationship and with time find a much happier and satisfying match. Some lose a loved one and connect on a profound level to how fortunate they were for having known the individual; a mindset they'll carry with them forevermore. Still others survive a difficult illness and now care for (honor) their bodies like never before. The list of examples goes on. In every case there is an opportunity waiting.

So let's face it, one aspect of life's process is to meet with challenges, overcome them, and grow. If we look at them as growing opportunities, it just might give us a more positive life experience, and truly change the way we relate to the world.

Perhaps it's not so cliché after all when they say, "Everything happens for a reason." Perhaps God knows best, and we are all the better for his belief in us.

Spiritual Growth reflections:
  1. Can I take comfort in this knowledge and approach my issues differently than in the past?
  2. Might this reinforce my faith in the value of life?
  3. Is there currently a difficulty in my life that I can look at as an opportunity to grow from, or something to improve upon?
