Journal of a writer 12-16-09 (Are we the Authors of our own suffering?)

“rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us”.—Romans 5:3-5

It is common nature to embrace what is comfortable and avoid what is uncomfortable. Yet, so many times we bring suffering upon our own selves. The devil doesn’t become involved until we give that energy the specific control to become part to our situation.
Before we become afflicted with illness, disease or some other debilitating circumstance, we should begin to realize we had more to do with the outcome than any other force that we wish to blame our series of events upon.

However, this suffering builds character and creates a stronger being that will soon manifest itself within a purpose, if we allow it. We all have done things we are ashamed of. Yet, as we grow within self from truth, knowledge and acceptance we find strength. This is the universal righteousness we are connected to. Its power wishes great health, family solidarity, financial growth and a flourishing life.

We are attached to something stronger than our circumstances, problems and fears. Our pride prevents our growth in many cases. With perseverance and faith in our own abilities we show a parallel correlation to our internal strength. This strength gives us hope and becomes greater than any situation that may try to stop our success. Challenge is the key word for this topic. Yet, mixed with determination nothing can stop it!
In all things find the Positive!
