Bumpy rides of life
I was in my garden just watching an ant walking along these string of pearls trying to move towards the flowers, and falling in between the gaps, but somehow coming back up on those pearls again. Tried so many times without giving up and finally reaching the other end of the pot where most of the flowers were. I wish I had my phone with me at that time to take a video of its perseverance. It would've been so easy for a flying insect to reach the flowers rather than this crawling one.
Similar to that, our lives can be bumpy too with our challenges, weaknesses, mistakes, temptations, sickness to name a few rides. Sometimes when everything sounds or looks bad and when life happens, without any change in our same struggles or situations over the years, how we respond to it, does matter. We must always come face to face with the reality and on purpose, understand that these are temporary struggles and not to let them have a greater impact on our day to day life. Do not give up on those hard times, you will be stronger when you come out of that. We have to make the decision to make the right choices while we are hurting, when it is painful the most. Remember that hardships prepares ordinary people for extraordinary tasks. When you feel like giving up the most, is usually when your breakthrough is near. No matter what has happened or will happen there is an assurance that we will never lose our value in God's eyes. God sees our heart that has the faith in Him, and our longing to obey His will, can work wonders in spite of our troubles however big or small they are. Surrender all to Him and He will fight the battles for you. Embrace these challenges to seek Him day and night knowing that He is always there to listen to you and to guide you.
Are you holding on to God, giving Him all that you are and especially all that you are not, during those bumpy rides?
