A Dose Of Hope

Hurdles: Hurt, Hinder, or Hurtle?

Has someone hurt you? Have you encountered a hurdle that looks daunting? Has lack of training, funding, or even outright opposition hindered you from reaching your goal?

Hurdles can hurt, hinder, or they can hurdle you to new opportunities.

It all depends on how you view it.

Among the many lessons my father taught me, one of my favorite has been, “Every challenge is an opportunity.”

So, view this hurdle as an opportunity to hurtle you forward, to help you grow, to give you a chance to demonstrate persistence!

And of course, it can always be an opportunity to show others that “All things are possible through Christ who gives you the strength”: to race on, to hurtle over the hurdles, to run the race with dignity and strength and yes, mercy.
