Laugh to Keep from Crying

Smiling may be difficult to do when you're faced with adversity and challenges in your life. God does not guarantee that you will not have problems or you will not be put through tests. He does in fact promises that He will not put more on you than you can bear. The tests that He puts you through are to make you stronger. Once you have overcome all of the obstacles that stood in your way through faith, you realize that you have strength that you never thought that you had. God is telling you that you had this strength the whole time. Sometimes, when we doubt ourselves, we're too blinded to see that we are actually stronger than we anticipated. My wife, Christy, was a prime example of possessing strength that she did not thought she possessed. She fought hard until the very end and for that, I'm grateful.
