try them and you may, i say

How many times have we had to make our kids eat their vegetables? What is it about vegetables that are so different than chicken or pasta? Would you believe my kids love broccoli??? But not so much canned corn. Now, corn on the cob, yeah, they love that. Peas, green beans.... somewhat. They like squash casserole. So what kid likes squash and broccoli? Mine, I guess. But you should see the tiny spoonfuls of corn or peas they dish onto their plate!
So, we as parents make sure they eat what's good for them.
Sometimes God has to do the same for us. We don't always like what is dished up for us. God may want you to do something you're not comfortable with. Life is always changing -- we can't always stay in our comfort zone. We just need to try not fighting whatever God's plan is for our life, and we will probably like it. Try it and you may, I say.
My kids didn't always like squash and broccoli.
So when we have changes in our lives, we can learn to get used to them.  God knows exactly what we need.
Paul said in Philippians 4:11 "...I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."
