If we want to keep progressing and overcome resistance, we must understand that problems are a part of life. They shape us and refine us in the process of God’s work.

You are God’s masterpiece. He is shaping and molding you into His exquisite work of art, destined to do great things in life. There is a divine purpose that you carry within you.
