A true quote 🤔

“Adversity, however it may appear to be our foe, is our true friend; and, after a little acquaintance with it, we receive it as a precious thing - the prophecy of a coming joy. It should be no ambition of ours to traverse a path without a thorn or stone.”

— Charles Spurgeon

[thepersonalwords]

In times of adversity, you will realize who is there for you. The struggle is real and those who walk with you with love, are honorable true friends. Be thankful for the friends and loved ones you’ve got.

Trust in God under Adversity

1 The psalm of David, when he fled from the face of Absalom, his son. Lord, why be they multiplied that trouble me? many men rise against me. (The song of David, when he fled from his son Absalom. Lord, why be there so many who trouble me? why be there so many who rise up against me?)

2 Many men say of my soul, None health there is to him in his God. (Many say of me, There is no help for him from his God.)

3 But thou, Lord, art mine up-taker; my glory, and enhancing mine head. (But thou, Lord, art my defender; my glory, and the one who lifteth up my head.)

4 With my voice I cried to the Lord; and he heard me from his holy hill. (I cried to the Lord with my voice; and he answered me from his holy hill.)

5 I slept, and rested, and I rose up; for the Lord received me (for the Lord had protected me).

6 I shall not dread thousands of people (en)compassing me; (I shall not fear even thousands of people surrounding me;)

7 Lord, arise thou; my God, make me safe. For thou hast smitten all men being adversaries to me without cause; thou hast all-broken the teeth of sinners. (Lord, rise thou up; my God, save me. Thou hast struck down all who be my adversaries; thou hast broken all the teeth of the sinners.)

8 Health is of the Lord; and thy blessing is on thy people. (Victory is from the Lord/Salvation, or deliverance, is from the Lord; and thy blessing is upon thy people.) — Psalm 3 | Wycliffe Bible (WYC) The Wycliffe Bible is in the public domain.

Subhumans - Adversity

I saw the advert on my TV screen Slimline girls and a tea machine Housewife proud of her shiny floor As if that's what she was living for The cat who had his teeth pulled out That's what the public love no doubt A cuddly gimmick to make you smile That cat won't grin for a very long while I saw the advert on my TV screen Slimline drinks and tetley tea Exploit the accent of the flat-cap men Like hell the North will rise again The comradeship of drinking ale The workers' revolution failed Too pissed on shit to notice it Nevermind where it if it fits I saw the advert on my TV screen Slimline cars a real mean machine It's cheaper than this it's cheaper than that It's still ten thousand pounds you twat Do I get a free tart with every one? Can I drive it off into the sun? Has it got a big ashtray? I'm hooked on forty fags a day You mustn't smoke, you mustn't drink You mustn't even try to think Just stay dead the advert said Eight out of ten people had no brains Eight out of ten said they enjoyed it The whole damn country died of boredom

I know that being positive in the face of adversity is quite an important thing but I also think that taking a moment to just breathe and entertain the thought of "but what if this happens instead of that" is important too. Not in the sense of, "if this does happen, everything will be over" but actually in the sense of, "if this does happen, it will not be the end because these are the ways with which I can continue".

I just think that knowing life can still be alright if it doesn't go the way you most wish it should, makes facing the adversity a little easier. Makes it less scary. And if something is a little bit less scary, that makes it that much easier to achieve.

Verse of the Day - Proverbs 17:17

[thepersonalwords]

ENDURANCEI don't know you,But I love you,Just as God loves me and you.The sun and the moonAre opposing forces,But they still greet each other,Peacefully,As one awakens in the morning,Just as the other goes to sleep.Life has pounded me downAnd thrashed me around,Time and time again,But I always get right back up,Because I still love life -Just as the earth still lovesThe rain.

'Survive'

Each scar etched upon his flesh whispers tales of battles braved, not of defeat, but of resilience forged in fire.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
