Resilience "Command the Israelite people to bring you clear oil of beaten olives for lighting, for kindling lamps regularly." (Leviticus 24:2) Is it really true that “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?” I don’t think so. Sometimes it just leaves us diminished. However, there is truth to the idea that pushing ourselves does build muscle, whether that be physical or emotional. We do find greater resilience when we discover the depths of our abilities and that sometimes comes when being tested. The eternal light of our indomitable spirit is found in the many challenges we have faced and survived.
