Life in so many ways has thrown different questions at me, sometimes I have an answer and at other times, I totally don't have an answer. In most cases, I have no answers to the questions life throws at me, and that in a way lowered my self-esteem. How can I survive this life when every challenge that comes my way makes me weak; when I see the world as the most dangerous, tormenting, and a wrong place to be.
While I was wrestling with one of the questions life threw at me, this dropped on my mind – Life’s challenges put you to a test; when you pass the test, you move to the next level.
I really don't know what exactly you are going through; have you totally lost hope? Are you already looking down on yourself, thinking that the future looks very dim or crushed? Have you stopped pursuing your passion because no one is on your side? Is it because others have gone ahead of you? I want you to know that you can still push further, rather than just admit what life has offered you?
Life will sometimes put you in tough situations, but don't say WHY ME? Just say TRY ME!
Every flower grows from dirt. Challenges could be disheartening but overcoming them makes life meaningful. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. Challenges of life should serve your soul growth and not weaken you.
Rise up to your feet and face that challenge, but while you do that, do not rely on your personal abilities, rely on God’s grace. Jesus said “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28). Jesus has the power to make the impossible possible. In Christ Jesus, you will find rest, peace and Joy unspeakable.
