Greatness is Hard

Greatness is intrinsically linked to difficulty. Nothing great has ever been wrought from ease and comfort. All stories of lasting greatness, the stories that move our hearts toward love, that transcend, are all stories of overcoming hardship.

Thus, when hardship, evil, oppression rain down upon you, recognize that all hardship is an opportunity for greatness. It may go unrecognized by other people, but God knows. Greatness does not need to be seen to be great. The person who pushes through hardship and still loves, still fights for good, continues in love, has surely achieved something great.

Take heart, and aspire to greatness. Fight. By the grace of God, who is indeed faithful, your life, though hard, can be great.
