We will face difficulty on our journey. No doubt about it.
Many people see these difficulties as nuisances - things to simply be tolerated until the moment passes. Others see them as opportunities - times to be alert for what God is really doing in them and through them.
What makes the difference?
Corrective lenses. The people who see difficulty as a nuisance are like people without corrective lenses. Their "vision" is blurred and they can't see what God is up to. Therefore, they go around in a fog of discouragement, loss of hope, depression.
But the people who see difficulty as opportunity are like people with well-fitted corrective lenses. Their "vision" is 20/20. They can see God in action. They can see what He's doing in the lives of those around them. They can see the growth He's causing in them personally. Therefore, they go around in an air of clarity, expectation, and excitement.
Who are you?
Are you the person with blurred vision, living a boring existence, tolerating life until God returns?
Or are you the person wearing corrective lenses, living an exciting existence before an God of adventure?
