The struggles of life are real. What may not be a struggle for you might be a struggle for me. Something that you battle on what feels like a daily basis may not be something I feel troubled by.
Today, though, I want us to consider: those things that get us down, that weigh heavily on our hearts...are those things situations that we brought upon ourselves? Are they circumstances we are allowing to continue in our lives? We are pretty quick to call something a "trial", and we are definitely quick to blame Satan for the situation we're facing.
But what about acknowledging that the problem might have started in our hearts?

It would be fair to say that probably 75% of my own struggles are from unrealistic expectations and pride. And, both of these struggles initiate in the heart. Very good reminder:-)
