Why am I discouraged? Why am I restless? I trust you! And I will praise you again because you help me, and you are my God. Psalm 42:11
_our life is a series of victories over trials. as trials were inevitable and unavoidable, rescues are always made available for us to survive and pass the trials only when we learned what we need to learn. but until our hearts are closed and hard, these pains will remain repeating and haunting. opening our heart and mind together with our body brings us closer to learning life's lessons and be effective in the future.
_like a gem, we can't be declared precious until we passed the test of fire, pressure and brokeness. a diamond is not found glistening and has its cuts and karats when dug. it undergone a lot of refining and cutting for it to have its glamurous shine and deserved the title "precious stone".
_we, in the same manner, needs to be refined too. as we naturally has these impurities and faults, trials are sent for us to be pure. trials are here to teach us how to survive. we are swayed for us to be stronger, hit hard to be braver and puzzled for us to be wiser.
_every problem has a solution. if it do not have, then it is not a problem. trials do provide us with helps and clues for us to somehow ovecome it. the thing is, are we silent enough to hear the advise? are we soft enough to follow? are we willling to be better?
