LAWise moved me to write my own letter of encouragement to those who struggle. The answer cannot be found in any Christian, friend, teacher, job, or things seen but only GOD! We all must confess that we have experienced struggles and trials along the road of life... some of us falling into more pot holes then others. Yet through the fog and down the muddy road full of stumbling blocks we all must realize that there is an answer and a reason for all this time spent racing, tripping, leaping towards the clearing just ahead.
Please NEVER make permanent decisions as a result of temporary circumstance. When jogging down the road of life we will, undoubtably, spot many obstacles. Please don't hang yourself when you spot a mud puddle or log in the path... even a lake. Times may be hard but who ever says that God cannot prevail only sits and ponders about what action to take to cross their own puddle or lake.
God once yearned to gather Jerusalem under His wings as a hin does her chicks but they would have none of it. He says the same thing to every one of His children today. He longs to pull you under His wing and protect you from the wind and rain that life throws your way. The only action we must take is accepting and bundle up in His glory.
I am not at all attempting to say that life as a Christian is all sunshine and roses, all Christians have problems just the same. The only difference between a Christians problems and a non-Christians problems is that we have assurance that they are not useless. We know that problems are growing times and trusting times for God. Times we must call on Him and bridge that void in our spirits. Yet a non-Christian so many times faces suicide in the midst of a storm because they see problems as useless and life filling. Those problems, of course, with no real meaning except torture and hardship.
I come to tell you the good news that God faced those storms as well. He was killed, in my opinion, in the most painful and gruesome way possible yet still stood for His Fathers business. He had a purpose and a reason as do we all. Where is it though? Only one place can we find true satisfaction, logic, and unity... that is God.
In Christs Love and Encouragement,
