Hard but Wonderful!

     I heard a preacher say this when he was talking about serving God. “It’s hard but it’s wonderful!” It’s so true and it applies to many things in life.

    Having a child with special needs is hard, but it’s also wonderful. Being a Christian is hard, but it is truly wonderful! Living by faith, doing right, sharing the gospel with others, teaching the Bible, reading the Bible, being a parent, being married, and so on is hard but it’s WONDERFUL!

    Trials are hard, but what we learn and become through them with Gods grace is wonderful!

    There is a similar quote on our school staff room wall. “It’s hard, but it’s worth it!”

    If what we are doing is good and right and in Gods will for us, it will be well worth the hardness.

    It’s easy to be focused on the hardness. But it’s good to remind ourselves that it is wonderful and worth it! Don’t try to do it in your own strength. Trust God to help you and stay close to Him.

    “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
