Message
Fanny Crosby became blind at the age of six weeks though wrong medical prescription when she caught fever. Yet with the joy of the Lord she wrote over eight thousand sacred songs and hymns, including, ‘Blessed Assurance’ and ‘Rescue the Perishing.’ She died at over 95 years of age. When we talk about adversity, we are referring to the challenges that life presents us. These challenges can have a significant impact on our lives. Adversity can be a result of external factors, such as economic downturns or social instability. It may also be set-back in fortunes, like Job’s case, and accidents.
People complain about life’s difficulties. And yet it’s the difficulties of life that make us who we are — and it’s through the adversities that we become heroic. When faced with adversity, some people crumble under the weight, while others rise to the occasion and come out stronger, like Fanny Crosby. What sets these individuals apart? The answer lies in their resilience – their ability to adapt and bounce back from difficult situations. Resilience is a skill that can be learned. How resilient are you?
