"Every difficult task that comes across your path-every one you would rather not do, that will take the most effort, cause the most pain, and be the greatest struggle-brings a blessing with it. And refusing to do it regardless of the personal cost is to miss the blessing.
Every difficult stretch of road in which you see the Master's footprints and along which He calls you to follow Him leads unquestionably to blessings. And they are blessings you will never receive unless you travel the steep and thorny path.
Every battlefield you encounter, when you are required to draw your sword and fight the enemy has the possibility of victory that will prove to be a rich blessing to your life. And every heavy burden you are called upon to lift hides within itself a miraculous secret of strength." J.R. Miller

I would rather not juice carrots and eat healthy. It takes a lot of effort and is a daily struggle. I would rather not be in the battlefield of cancer. My sword is too heavy and I am weary of the fight. And yet I know if I give up I will miss the blessing God has for me. I know within this heavy burden is a miraculous secret of strength. So I have a good cry, wipe my tears, put my hand in His and walk through the day with His peace guarding my heart.

What heavy burden is God calling you to lift? What difficult task would you rather not do? What steep and thorny path are you being called to travel? Look for the blessing along the way and the strength He'll give you to take one more step.
