Thank God for challenges (?)

The times when you are receiving challenges are so very special.
The reason why we sometimes do not appreciate the challenges is that something is wrong with our value system. If we have a clear value system to value such a thing as "eternal happiness", "my getting closer to God's heart", or, "spiritual growth towards oneness with God", something of this kind, then challenges are, in general, something very precious to find these values. In other words, without "challenges", it would not be easy to gain these values.

Therefore, it totally depends on our mindset, value system, or internal attitude toward my life. Anyway, after all, what do you expect to gain out of your daily life? temporal stimulation, or something everlasting? The question is what do you really want? Even though you may have lived in a culture in which you are expected to hide something, pretend certain way, or anyway not to be honest and genuine, still you cannot deny that you do have your conscience which has such a clear standard of goodness. Only when you follow the standard which your conscience presents to you, you can truly be satisfied and happy. Oh, my God, really thank God for giving us such conscience!
