Being Forged Under Pressure
Pressure is literally defined as "the application of force to something by something else in direct contact with it." Right now is a time when the pressures of life are mounting. And life brings its own set of circumstances that come in direct contact with us.
We face many different situations today that have a force behind them that sometimes seem overwhelming. And often times, we don’t understand that our success and greatness are being forged in these tumultuous conditions. Unseen by many, we are actually being changed, one way or another, by the conditions that surround us.
Realize that the circumstances you face have you in a position that is uncomfortable, but it is necessary for your making. Just like that diamond that undergoes thousands of pounds of pressure to get the result of the luxurious gem we so highly value, so must we go through the process to be forged into something greater.
