THIS LIFE

Over time I've discovered there is no absolute
finish line for everyone in the race of life.
Our tracks are different and our duration are
different.
The only thing we have in common is the same
empire.
For instance, one person graduates at age 20
and struggles for another 5 years to get a job,
another might graduate at 25 and get a job
immediately.
One can marry a virgin and wait for the next
decade to have the blessings of children, another
lady probably after having series of abortions in
her past, becomes a mother almost immediately
after marriage.
A fellow becomes an MD at 38 and dies at 56;
another becomes MD at 55 and lives to 90.
What a life! Life is full of twists, turns, ups and
downs and many more surprises and
disappointments. Life offers each and every one
of us different opportunities and once an
opportunity is lost, it's gone forever except by
the grace of God. It is up to each one of us to
patiently prepare, wait, recognize and utilize
every opportunity. We learn on the way. No one
has it all or knows it all. There is a reason why
we all don't fall at the same time, it’s so that
when one is down, weak and discouraged; the
other that is strong can encourage and lift the
other person.
God never promises that the road would be easy,
but he promised never to leave or forsake us.
Although life is complicated, let us learn to go
easy on ourselves and trust that God is working
it all out for our good (even if it doesn't make
sense now). Whatever trials, challenges or down
times we face, all shall pass and in due course,
we will be up and strong again to lift up those
who may be down around us.
NEVER LOSE HOPE... We all have a story to tell
someday...
