Sometimes we are tested with a great idea or opportunity just to see if we will act upon it, however the timing may not be right. We are being prepared for something else down the road... When we understand that all things happen for our benefit and we trust in the Lord, then we can accept what we have termed as "failures" knowing that in the end it will all work out and we will be happy.

About This Quote

When we are in a situation that is difficult, we may feel like giving up. Sometimes when we are in the middle of a battle or when things are at their worst, you will feel like you have no choice but to give up. However, when you are in the midst of a battle you are being tested to see if you have what it takes to keep fighting. The spiritual battles that we face in life can be very painful and sometimes it can seem like there is no way out. However, if you trust in God and believe that He has something better for us then everything will work out for the best.
