“What if skipping the hard parts meant missing the best parts?”

I know, I know. we just want to fast-forward through life sometimes. Nobody gets that more than me. I’m in a season right now where it feels like time is dragging, but here’s the funny thing: I’m learning so much. I’m becoming a better version of myself. My mindset is elevating. I’m adding to my skill set every single day. I’m spending more time with God. And yet, even in these good moments, it’s so easy to focus on the lack.

Do you remember what Satan pulled off in the Garden of Eden? He got Eve to focus on the one thing she didn’t have instead of the abundance all around her. And we do the same thing in our own lives. We fixate on what’s missing instead of appreciating the growth, the lessons, and the provision that’s already there.

The other day, I kept thinking about Adam Sandler’s movie Click. If you haven’t seen it, the movie is about a man who gets a remote that lets him fast-forward through the hard parts of life arguments, long workdays, anything he doesn’t want to deal with. At first, it seems like the perfect solution. But the more he presses that button, the more life speeds past him. He skips over the struggles, but he also misses the moments that mattered the time with his family, the lessons that shaped him, the experiences that made life rich. By the time he realizes what he’s lost, it’s too late.

And I think we do that sometimes in our own lives. We just want to press that button and skip ahead especially through the hard stuff. We don’t want to sit in discomfort. We don’t want to dedicate the time. But here’s what I know: God does His best work in our hard seasons. That’s when He teaches us to trust Him more, to depend on Him completely.

I’m writing this from the perspective of a believer because I know that blessings are found in adversity. The trials, the challenges, the moments that stretch us they’re where God is shaping us the most. And honestly, sometimes when I think about getting out of this season, my biggest fear is forgetting what I’ve learned. I don’t want to get comfortable and lose the fire. I don’t want to waste the lessons God has been teaching me.

The goal isn’t just to survive this season it’s to carry these principles into the next one. To remember the struggle when things get easy. To keep growing when life feels comfortable. That’s how we win. That’s how we get better. That’s how we stay yielded to God.
