Overcoming Suffering 

 “Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” –Helen Keller

Adversity, hardship, and struggle are part of the human condition. I believe it’s important to acknowledge that. It’s important to acknowledge our hurts and pains. It’s important to acknowledging when we are having a hard time. It’s important to offer ourselves and each other compassion in our suffering. 

Once we have acknowledged and tended to our suffering and pain, our next step is to look it in the eye and tell it that it doesn’t have the final word. In the words of Jesus, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

We find peace in knowing that the present moment is a comma and not a period. The deepest night is always followed by dawn. And as the morning always comes, we shall surely overcome.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
