THANK ME FOR ALL THE CHALLENGES in your life. They are gifts from Me-opportunities to grow stronger and more dependent on Me.Most people think that the stronger they get, the less dependent they will be. But in My kingdom, strength and dependence go hand in hand. This is because you were designed to walk close to Me as you journey through your life. Challenging circumstances highlight your neediness and help you rely on My infinite sufficiency. When circumstances are tough and you rise to the occasion, trusting in Me, you are blessed. It's exhilarating to get through challenges that you thought were too much for you. When you do so in reliance on Me, our relationship grows stronger. Your success in handling difficulties also increases your sense of security. You gain confidence that you and I together can cope with whatever hard times the future may bring. You are ready for anything and equal to anything through the One who infuses inner strength into you. Rejoice in My sufficiency! Pt1
