You see, we all face challenges in life, some of us
more than others, and for some much greater challenges than others. No, it’s not
fair! Life is not fair! Look around and you will find people who seem to glide
through life with hardly any bumps in their road. But I guarantee, if you look hard
enough, you will also find others facing even greater challenges than you.
God never told us that we wouldn’t face challenges.
In fact, He guarantees us that in this world we WILL have trouble (John 16:33)
but God also said that when we walk through the fire, He will be with us, and we
will not get burned (Isaiah 43:2).
I believe that we have complete control over how we
react to life's challenges. Will we get knocked out? Become bitter? Cease living a productive life?
Or will we come out stronger than ever?
I just went through yet another round of battles in
my life. If you know me at all, you know I’ve had my share. Go to www.NoMoreLoss.org and you can read about the biggest challenge I’ve faced in my life and how I
overcame. However, just recently I battled another round. Sometimes I wonder
how much one can take. I’m sure some of you wonder the same.
One thing I do know: God is good and He has a plan for your life even when you don't understand it. You see He sees the big picture and we see only a small piece in front of us. God will take all the broken pieces and make a beautiful masterpiece if we allow him.
You’ve heard the saying when life gives you lemons,
make lemonade.
Some will throw out the lemons,
Some will become bitter from the
taste, and
Others will add some sweetness, refresh their thirst, put up a
lemonade stand and share with others.
Which
one are you?
I have to admit sometimes I’ve wanted to toss out
the lemons. There have been days I’ve allowed the bitter taste to get to me.
But ultimately, through prayer and determination, I am going to make the best
damn lemonade you’ve ever tasted! I’m determined to come out of this stronger
and wiser! What will you do with your lemons?
I encourage you to make it your
mission to create your own unique lemonade cocktail. If we can let go and allow God, He can turn our sour lemons into a sweet tasting aroma! Don't let your lemons turn you sour. The world needs your flavor!
