Paradox

From day one we are challenged to become self sufficient and accomplished.
The Christian requirement is to die to self.
Self-sufficiency is contrary with being led.
We can't will ourself to be led we can only yield.
Trials and troubles are more precious than gold for by them we become accomplished in ways that sufficientcy can't attain.

Don't you just appreciate that, takes all the pressure off.
 
Well said thanks. Just what I needed today!
It’s definitely a yielding not a striving.
The trials I face today seem overwhelming, but seeing them as gold seems to change my perspective.
After praying more this evening that’s exactly what happened. The trails now seem like pure gold!

👌
