God will never put a dream in your heart, that He can’t put in your hand. But you have to be prepared for it. Thus brings about the adversity. Over the past 3 years, I have learned to shift the way I see my adversities, to treat them as gifts, not enemies, transforming pain into purpose. The first lesson that I learned, everything occurs in perfect timing.
Whatever you teach the world you get to learn & apply. It has been said that we teach most what we need to learn. And when we do that we invite those adversities and/or lessons into our lives. So in the midst of that adversity that you are facing, go to a quiet place, and ask God, “I welcome this adversity. What is it here to teach me?”. That is the most powerful question to be asked because adversity is a gift wrapped in unattractive paper.
“Within every circumstance is a spiritual lesson.” ~James Allen
Once you get the lesson the circumstance will pass away, and new circumstance arises. But when the same adversity keeps coming about, find that lesson, because once you do, you will be prepared to move forward. As long as you’re alive, change is involved. The day you stop growing is the day you die. When adversity comes, welcome it & ask “What is this here to teach me?” But also take notice of the beginning quote. There is a seed that needs nourished & taken care so that it can come forward.

It took me a while but I eventually saw adversity as a friend too; a fact of life. Heraclitus finally persuaded me when he said Strife is Justice; meaning through adversity change, evolution is possible… we become.
Thanks Alex!
