LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Life is beautiful. Almost all the time to some people, sometimes to others, and to other people, they'd rather die than continue living. But that's the beauty of life, isn't it ? It's all part of the journey you know? What were you expecting when you asked God to give you a heart like his? Remember when you prayed fervently asking him to take control of your life? Well, He listened and He certainly heard you as usual.
Have you ever thought that being a child of God entails a lot more than we think? It's not that simple you know? It's about those times that you want to give up on life. The times when the journey seems so long, too many bumps and turns. All the hurt, the confusion and misunderstanding about life. It's about the grief and the heartache, and the many times that fear,guilt and anxiety linger.
Sometimes we dwell in them. We try to fight them because we think that being happy means the absence of all these impediments. I'll tell you what I think; These are our crosses. Christ wants us to unite our crosses with his. In his word, He has made so many promises, equipped us enough to live this life. He never promised an easy life. He never said the road would be easy, but he has promised to never leave us.
On one of my Pinterest quests, I came across this quote: " Maybe life isn't about avoiding bruises. Maybe it's about collecting the scars to prove we showed up for it." Basically life in one quote, and it couldn't have been put in a better way.
Do not wish away the hard times. Use them to find your strength and who you are in Christ. Grow through them and allow God to use them to make you who He intended you to be.
