It seem is a magic that all people of whatever character cannot escape the dilemma of pain, intruding their lives in several ways, surprisingly or slowly, expected or not. There can be a lot of reasons these things happen. But the sad point is, it never is explainable. Maybe, this is God’s own means of making everyone meet in His so-called “equal opportunity.” Well, that’s the only positive way I know I can define pain many suffer.
I remember one time, in my most down, I asked why should I have to pass all things that hurt me much, God gave me back the very opposite of my question: “Why not? Are you not worth of the trust I just gave you?” And so from then, I set it as a guiding rule that God never sends out trials that we cannot bear. We just have to do our best to battle our every problem and God will be the one to continue whatever it is that we cannot do anymore. There are only two things that we need to do always: maximize ourselves, and then surrender it all to God when we can’t endure it any longer. He’ll always be more than happy to catch whoever calls for His name for help. It is His promise anyway that whoever is weary and burdened, just have to come before Him and He’ll give rest.
So what am I to worry about? God knows my limit. And He alone can tell up to where I can make the most of my prowess. And when I’m worn-out, He still will be the one to take turn… Remember footprints in the sand?
Beyond dark clouds are bright sky, right? Happy life!
Think about: Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4)
