Something we've all heard at one point in our lives. Something that seems true in a society filled with people who don't know when to quit. A "suck it up or you're a pansy" quote that is used to keep you going.
And as much as I'm making this quote sound bad, I believe the main gist of this quote. I believe that we will go through hard times, and even more so that we should not quit, we should let the "tough" move on (or get going) from our lives.
Things ain't ever going to get easier, just take a look at the world around you. The economy is failing, the dollar, the nation, and education that our parents sought after is turning near worthless, families are breaking up because of marital unfaithfulness, friendships slowly being over dominated by the diminishing value of friends, the land scarred by the continuous natural disasters, and everything else for that matter...is failing. And if we hope and pray that God would make our lives better, read the Word and wake up. We're called to suffer for the Lord, by being a Christian and living in these perilous times, things (overall) aren't going to get easy. (excuse the semi out of contextness)
Things are so frustrating, it's 1:30 a.m. and I'm supposed to be sleeping but I sit in front of my computer SO frustrated...But because I need to sleep. I'll leave the Christian with an even better quote than what was given in the beginning.
"8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." (2 Corinthians 4:8-10)
