Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith, God is giving you an opportunity ofr promotion. It is the struggle that give us the strength. Without opposition or resistance, there is no potential for progress. Without the resistance of air, an eagle cannot soar. Without the resistance of water, a ship cannot float. Without the resistance of gravity, I cannot even walk.
Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts, there is no easy way to mature physically, emotionally or spiritually. You must remain be determined and work with God. Work out your own salvation. Salvation is more than a onetime prayer. It is constantly working with God, dealing with the issues He brings up and keeping a good attitude, fighting through until you win the victory.
God never promised that we would not have challenge. In fact, He said just the opposite. Be truly glad. These trails are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure.
When you go through difficult times, make sure you pass the test. Do not be hardheaded. Recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges. Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith. If you will work with God and keep a good attitude, then no matter what comes against you, that all things, not just the good things in life, but all things, will work together for your good.
