Patience, Faith...........

Do you sometimes feel like God is taking too long to intervene, u feel as though u have reached that darkest hour hence morning must come sooner rather than later, u feel as though God's time perhaps isn't the most reasonable or convenient time, u feel as though u have had enough and an intervention should take place immediately.....

Do you believe that gold must pass through fire to shine, do you believe that every story of greatness has its hardships, do you believe that hardships shape greatness. Do you know that strength does not come from winning, but rather developed by your struggles? When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. Adversity shapes your character, clarifies your priorities and defines your path and can also fuel your greatness.

Every great story starts from humble beginnings, no great story results from a smooth ride, no great story involves winning all the time, no great story involves certainty on way forward. Every great story involves a certain level of uncertainty about the future and a loss of control resulting in surrendering to the unknown. 

Have a little faith, they say, things will come right, they say, things are never as bad as they seem, they say, time heals all wounds, they say. Do you ever believe those statements? Do you think God just enjoys seeing you suffer just for the sake of it, Do you believe that God actually has the master plan for your life. Do you believe that morning does indeed come after the darkest hour? Do you believe that by going through whatever you are going through, you actually inspire someone else to be able to face something similar, that your hardship gives someone else hope that things do come right in the end?????

Often times we find ourselves thinking that God isn't listening anymore, we think we are alone, sometimes we even think we are faced with unique problems. I do not have the answers, i am merely wondering...... What i know though is that the God we serve is a mighty God, and will never leave nor forsake us. 

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Romans 8:24-25 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Psalm 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning
