We don't grow in easy times.
We grow in times of testing.
Not much is accomplished
If we spend our time in "resting".
Problems solved and battles won
Bring insight and perspective,
Learned by labor and hard work
And reaching an objective.
Growing truly is hard work
And something which we should not shirk.
Do not run from times of testing.
In wisdom you will be investing.
"My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
James 1:2-4 KJV
