There's joy in sorrow |
In the many trials that have come my way, I have found it
spiritually uplifting, emotionally enlightening and physically strengthening to
rest my case in God’s hands. Through all the hardships that I have been
through, I have stayed positive in my thoughts and belief. It’s not because I
hate to be dampened by the series of misfortunes that life’s circumstances may
bring. But because I find it a must to stay in the light and away from the
dark.
Trials are life’s way of saying, “Hey, you’re still alive so
go on and keep kicking.” I find it amusing that one has to look for food when
he’s stomach starts grumbling; that a lazy student will have to study the last
minute before the exams; than an employee will have to get up from his slumber
a few minutes before his work commences. Trials are there. They happen all the
time. But it’s up to us how to deal with them. A lot of people see trials as
God’s punishment; a blessed few see them as opportunity to make life even better.
It is on the latter where I thrive in. I see trials not as hurdles to
dishearten me. I see trials as stepping stones that will me to somewhere else,
perhaps, better than where I used to be. I see trials not as bruising wounds
that inflict pain. I see them as the heat that polishes the diamond in me. We
don’t grow for the better by staying in our comfort zones. Our mindsets and
beliefs change when we go through something harsh and extraordinary, enough to
wash away our old self and renew us to become the better us.
So, let there be hope in misery; joy in pain; courage in
fear; faith in uncertainty; and most certainly love amidst hatred. Amen. Image: DeeDee Mann (Pinterest)
