The Greek word Paschó captures the profound impact of being shaped by both hardship and blessing. Just as an athlete’s strength is forged through relentless training, we are moulded by the challenges we face. True success isn’t achieved by avoiding difficulty, but by enduring it. It is through struggle that we develop the resilience and determination needed to rise above.

As followers of Christ, we know that our suffering serves a higher purpose. Though the journey may be difficult, it refines our character and deepens our faith. Do not be discouraged—this season of trial is temporary, but the rewards of steadfastness are eternal. Keep pressing forward, for you will emerge not only stronger but victorious in the plan God has set before you.
