There
were thousands of people who came to our city of Houston from Vietnam and other
Asian countries to escape the ravages of war. What has amazed me is the resilience
of these people to overcome numerous hardships and become responsible citizens making
significant contributions to our society.
Resilience is an inner strength that makes it possible to keep an
objective identified clearly and in
sharp focus. Albert Einstein, the German-born physicist, developed the theories of special and general relativity. He acknowledged
that God gave him the insight to develop these formulas and prove they worked.
The Apostle Paul suffered numerous hardships
but said his faith was strengthened by adversity. His attitude is an antidote for
discouragement because it testifies of humility and resilience rather than conceit
and failure. Listen to Paul's declaration from Philippians 3:8. "I
consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing
Christ Jesus." This affirmation can be your source for resilience.
