M. Scott said: "it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has meaning." Problems are
the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failures. Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom.
It is only of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually . . . It is through the pain of confronting and
resolving problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said: "those things that hurt, instruct".
Fearing the pain involved, attemp to avoid problems. This tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering
inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness.
BE aware, God's wisest saints are often people who endure pain rather than escape. Like Jesus who learned obedience
from the things which he suffered (Heb 5:8) not inspite of those things.
