Hardship is an avenue to train your stamina.
The subtle approach the devil uses is to make you cut down on your ambition and settle for less.
Hardship, delayed gratification, discipline builds resilience in us.

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

Let the tough time complete it’s process!
Count it all joy!
