In the normal flow of life the good outweighs the bad. But life has it's seasons of struggle, and sometimes they are whelming and relentless, and then, periodically, we simply have no idea how we are going to make it. But then we see the prints of others that have passed and succeeded in the way, so we dig even deeper, keep trying and find that we too, can get through this.
“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
