Jewel Talk 14

It may have been a difficult season, but this is not the time to quit.

Many of us own an umbrella or two. Most days, the umbrella sits in some corner of the house or on the floor mats of the car. It seemingly has no value. But as soon as it rains, the umbrella becomes essential. Without the rain, the umbrella would be useless.

Strength and value are revealed in struggle. The heartbreak, the financial hardship, the loss. The instinctive response to discomfort is to run. Run from the pain. But without conflict, we miss out on our greatest potential. The struggle awakens the hidden, dormant strengths you didn’t know existed.

There is something on the inside of you that can only be activated in the struggle. Now is your season to conquer, endure, and live on purpose.
