Can
you imagine life without electricity, indoor plumbing, and the automobile? How
would you survive? It's impossible even to consider how radically your life
would change. Personal crises can be so disruptive that your very survival appears
questionable. Seldom does anyone get to cruise through life without having
their world personally turned upside down.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the
thirty-second President of the United States, had to struggle for survival when
he was struck down by polio. Following this attack which left him paralyzed in
both legs, he spend months in despair and depression. Food, clothing, and
shelter were never an issue, but survival reaches beyond these basics needs.
God
permits us to experience personal crises so we can realize his plans and
purpose for us. Change and growth inspired by personal crises open our hearts
to God's unconditional love. Experiencing his love gives us courage to make
needed changes. God never permits you to be tested beyond your ability to
survive, but gives you strength to endure any crisis.
