"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '"
- Jeremiah 29:11
Everyone of us learned so many things after we face challenges, or when we come to reach maturity. Life gives us lessons, which can let us learn about so many things. The things we learned help us to grow as better individuals.
The lessons we learned in life help us to be wiser, to be knowledgeable, and to be more mature.
But in the middle of what we're going through, in whatever stage of life we are now, there is God.
There is God who has been with us all the time. He who never leaves us nor forsake us. He sees us, He feels us, and He knows everything about us.
Jesus continually guides us and help us to be in a safe place for us to be protected by His salvation. Through the Holy Spirit, we can be guided towards righteousness and He is with us forever to look after us.
The battles we've fought let us learn so many so things. The trials we faced help us to become stronger. The challenges we go through made us wiser. All of the obstacles that passed us gave us lessons to learn and grow that help us be better individuals.
At some point in our lives, we realize that things do come and go. In fact, nothing is permanent in our lives.
Like seasons, things change.
If people who used to be with us left, they serve as a lesson. If some people will stay, then they are meant to be with us.
We missed things like our childhood friends, our old hometown, the happy memories we cherished, the life we had before and to the things that used to be with us before.
No matter how special some things are to us, we must continue to move forward.
Yes, they served as lessons in our pieces. We grow through learning things and we become mature overtime.
People go away and some chapters will be closed, nothing remains the same except God.
Sometimes, the Lord will let you go through tough times to prosper you and to help you become the person He wants you to be.
God is with you from the beginning, the middle, and even at the end.
He is with you whenever you are, whatever you're doing, and whoever you're with.
When some doors will be closed, another one will open. Life is full of new opportunities, so we have so many chances to get right back on track.
You know, the beauty of life is that when a chapter has been finished, you can start again with another one. Whenever you fail, you can always begin again.
If you lose, you can try again to be better next time.
God knows what you're going through, He sees everything because He is all-knowing. He lets you to go through trials, battles, obstacles, challenges, and problems to mold you to become stronger, bolder, more courageous, and wiser.
In fact, He is doing all of these things for you.
For you to grow and learn.
Life isn't full of sweets. Sometimes, we are at our highest point in our lives. At other times, we are the lowest point in our lives. We can't predict what will happen, or by any means to escape our problems. Life is unexpected, it's full of challenges.
But amidst everything, focus on Jesus.
Focus on Jesus who loves you and cares for you. Make Him the number one priority in your life. Nothing else would matter other than Jesus Christ.
Live for Him, follow Him, and put your faith in Him.
You need Jesus more than anything else.
So, whatever stage of life you are now or whatever you are going through, I encourage you to call on God.
Continue to seek the light, follow the path of righteousness, and have faith in God.
Always ask God for guidance, so that He will give you the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to help you solve things in whatever you're going through.
You need to pray all the time, because we do not know what life throws at us. We can't even see ahead of us on what will happen in the future by escaping problems. No, we cannot do any of that. For it is normal to face challenges in life, that's just how it is.
We all need God. He is all we ever have. We are nothing without Him.
Trust the plans that God has for you. Remain your faith in Him, let Him do the things He wants in your life.
