What is worth it? A question that could follow up this one is "what has worth?" Life hurls adversity at people giving them a chance to rise above the affliction. Trying moments provide opportunity to succeed or fail. Either way a lesson is learned. With success comes the satisfaction that the pain or trial that tore apart a heart was well worth it. Failure, although disappointing, offers the knowledge of being one wrong closer to right. I have sat in this chair for the past two hours bearing through the pain of uncalloused fingertips. Prayers have been thrown upwards in hopes that supernatural talent would avail. Even though my fingers and ears would appreciate the blessing, without practice the notes on the guitar would not sound nearly as sweet.
We find worth in the result. Our eyes seem to be limited to a dim road filled with fog that makes seeing the destination just short of impossible. A year or two from now confidence could walk me onto a stage in front of people. Shaking hands will still ensue, but the times of weakness and sting conquered will carry the tune. Some of the worst yield the best. We endure for what will come.
