God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them. – Franz Kafka

And sometimes they come disguised as difficulties or suffering.

There is real, hard work to be done.

Whether it be relational, physical, spiritual, emotional, intellectual….it is the cracking of the nuts that we should be hard at work on.

Whatever you are looking for right now – patience, discipline, insight, wisdom, experience, love, laughter – there is work to be done to get there.

God gives the opportunities to move closer to Him and each other through growth and experience. It is our part to take the steps forward.

Lucky for us, once we begin to step forward, so does God (and His steps are a lot bigger).

Make it a great day.
