Weekly Affirmations: A minute with Jesus
Better everyday
Ever since our girls were small I have encouraged them to solve their own problems. Whether that be with one another, a friend, or at school - I wanted to empower them with with the ability to tackle an issue and find a solution. Where I feel I may have let them down was in teaching them to see the power of a problem. Every problem you face needs to be appreciated in order for you to overcome it. When you take the time to look at a challenge as an opportunity for growth it can shift the feelings you have about it. Instead of feeling defeated, you can face the situation with determination to become better. Each day we are presented with new opportunities, some good and some difficult, this is why it is so important to start each day with a clear focus on your future and all God created you to be. When we can look past the often fuzzy picture right in front of us, and hone in on the person God is creating with each step we take, we can face the day with hope and certainty of the future! So when you find yourself in a moment of heaviness, set that at the feet of Jesus and thank him for the opportunity to learn and grow. Appreciate that you have all you need to overcome it, and continue in your journey with a lighter burden to carry and heart full of encouragement and hope.
