When we have a major challenge
And don't know how to meet it,
Sometimes changing our perspective
Can be a very real benefit.
We shouldn't view it as a problem
Or something we deplore,
But as an opportunity
Which may open up a door.
Opportunity invites one in
And offers bright, new interest.
It becomes a fresh approach
For how our thoughts are processed.
So see your challenge as a chance
To meet with opportunity.
Then smile and set your hand to work
With lively ingenuity!
"I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me."
Philippians 4:13 NKJ
