No Problem

Don't worry if you have problems! Which is easy to say until you are
in the midst of a really big one, I know. But the only people I am
aware of who don't have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods.
Most communities have at least one. We call them cemeteries.

If you're breathing, you have difficulties. It's the way of life. And
believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you!
Let me explain.

Maybe you have seen the Great Barrier Reef, stretching some 1,800
miles from New Guinea to Australia. Tour guides regularly take
visitors to view the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an
interesting question. I notice that the lagoon side of the reef looks
pale and lifeless, while the ocean side is vibrant and colorful, a
traveler observed. Why is this

The guide gave an interesting answer The coral around the lagoon side
is in still water, with no challenge for its survival. It dies early.
The coral on the ocean side is constantly being tested by wind, waves,
storms - surges of power. It has to fight for survival every day of
its life. As it is challenged and tested it changes and adapts. It
grows healthy. It grows strong. And it reproduces. Then he added this
telling note That's the way it is with every living organism.

That's how it is with people. Challenged and tested, we come alive!
Like coral pounded by the sea, we grow. Physical demands can cause us
to grow stronger. Mental and emotional stress can produce
tough-mindedness and resiliency. Spiritual testing can produce
strength of character and faithfulness.

So, you have problems - no problem! Just tell yourself, There I grow again!
