There
are puzzles and riddles to solve each day of our lives, people pulling
us down or edging us to move on - perhaps there could be something more
in store for us?
Can
we gladly lay hands on something with all hopes hearts and say what a
wonderful thing we have got. I am happy with this? Even the families we
live with, sometimes we despise them and they despise us. What kind of
lives are we living? Lives to satisfy our own selves or the people
around us, or lives to please God?
Life
is not full of pleasantries to enjoy for with every good thing there is
something sour attached to it. A preacher once said, “This school we
call life everybody passes through" - that is what God has planned for
you.
With
all it’s up and downs life is to mold you into that beautiful thing He
has for you. If you value life, you will be able to live it with care
and gratitude.
You
don’t talk of what life has in store for you are to face and receive
that which it has in store for you. The more able you are facing and
dealing with its problems, the stronger and tougher you become.
Life
is a race but not for the swift or strong but for the one with grace.
Grace is that, not because of the many things you are, your capabilities
or what you have or abilities and talents, but because God found you
and wants you and nobody else can replace you. Many are called but only a
few like you are chosen.
What
you are going through is not your own doing; it's not that life is not
fair but its identifying the problem and facing it. That’s why you are
there.
You
can have all you want but you will never be satisfied because there are
thing your soul yearns for it doesn’t have - and that is Christ.
It's
not always getting, you know that, its also giving, for in giving we
receive. Somebody said some people live life in a rush because instead
of taking their time they rush and in the long run they realize they are
doing it for no reason and life is sitting far behind watching them.
And
another one said in school, we have a time table. A time to learn and a
time to take a break and relax the mind. When it’s time for all these,
there is a bell boy or a drummer or the siren which signals as to have a
change in our lesson or for a break. And in the same way life has got
its own time table; our alarm here is the language of life. So that when
you take one particular strategy for some time and it goes on well but
along the time doesn’t seem to work, you change tactics like the game of
football.
And
he asks, do you know the difference between these two time tables? The
differences are that with the school time table (the end) is determined
by man and his resources, but with life the only determiner is GOD!!! So
that when you see that things are not going on well you call on Him who
has all power and authority and resources and He will see you through.
He says, “I will give you everything” and do you know the condition that
comes with this? “Just ASK”.
Have
you asked and not received? Have you knocked and the door was not
opened, have you sought and you did not find? (Matt 7:7) ask and shall
be given to you seek and you will find know and the door will be opened
unto you. Look at the birds of the air they do not sow nor reap but yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not more precious than they?
He
says I know the plans I have for you they are not of ill but good plans
that will proper you and take you to the next level. What other words
can be sweeter than this?
