Someone sent this message to me,and I found it very inspiring, and thought to share....... Read and be lifted
Over time I've discovered there is no absolute finish line for everyone in the race of life. Our tracks are different and our durations are different. The only thing we have in common is the same empire. For instance, one person graduates at 20 and struggles for another five 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 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 35 and dies at 56, another probably becomes an MD at 56 and lives to 90. What a life? Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs and many more surprises and disappointments. Life offers each and everyone 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 don't all fall at the same time, its so that when one is down and out, the other who is strong can encourage and lift the other up. God never promised that the road will 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 in due course. We will be up and strong again to lift those who may be down around us.....never loose hope, we all have a story to tell someday...... Cheers and have a fab weekend!
