Christ magnified in your life

is to stop worrying what lies behind and ahead. To stop stressing over where should I go from here and to focus on what should I be doing right here right now.

You are exactly where you're supposed to be right now.

And right now, it feels like I'm facing a gauntlet of trials, roadblocks, discouragement, and impending doooooom. But it gives me enormous hope to know that God specifically planned and placed each and every one of these hurdles in my life for a reason. He's able to take all the hurt and trouble and put it to good use.

And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

- Romans 5:1-4
