When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future. Ecclesiastes 7:14, New International Version
You have to go through the bad times to appreciate the good times Joseph-Anthony; Green
If we only have good times we will not appreciate them. It is through the bad times we learn to appreciate the good times
It is in the bad time when we do most of our growing
So when you are going through bad times, relax. The good times are coming. And after we have gone through the bad time and have time to reflect upon them, then we will learn the lesson taught. It seems painful now, but when you get through them, you will be a better person
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Psalm 23:4
Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress reluctant Christiana is invited to join a pilgrimage. But she is warned, “The bitter is before the sweet. Thou must through troubles … enter this Celestial City
It is through our hard times it helps us to draw closer to Jesus
May the sunshine of Gods love bless you today and every day

"My God shall supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19 NIV) Ephesians 3:20 says, "God is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes!" Jeremiah 32:27 God says, "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?" (NIV)
Do you have problems? Take them to God. Do you have aspiration but do not know how to succeed? Take it to God. He can and will do anything. But you must take it to Him in sincere prayer and believe He will do it
May the sunshine of Gods love bless you today and every day

Is it uncomfortable to shed your role or position,your status?
Can you practice being a true equal with someone, or is it easier to feel a little superior, (or inferior). Who is this ‘me' underneath what you do, the roles you play?
Can you remember a time when it was o.k. to just be your self?

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 (NIV) Do you have the experience of living or working in a difficult environment? Some people you just can not make happy no matter what you do. I live in a country where it is never good enough. They will always find something to criticise about. My dad was like that. Do not let it get to you. Do the best you can and when others pick it apart, do what I do : just inform them as they think they can do it so much better ,here do not tell me, show me. You know what they will quickly shut their mouth. They are quick to find fault , but slow to take action "It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you." (Proverbs 29:25 LB Why not work to please one who is easy to please ? God. He is happy when you try your best. I only seek to please Him who sent me." (John 5:30 LB).As well the pay off is much better. A guaranteed place in Heaven with JESUS
