Have you ever felt like things are just not going your way? Like you seem to be falling and you just cannot get on your feet? Like you just wish you could close your eyes and everything will be alright?
Well, if you think your life cannot get worse, it can. There are people out there whose life is much worse than yours. You are still fortunate to have a home, food, clothes and family and friends who are there for you. You are physically fit to get around, to walk, hear, taste, feel and see. There are others out there who are not as fortunate as you are and they are not the one’s complaining. They are content with what God has given them even though they cannot see, hear, talk or walk.
Look at Oscar Pistorius for example, he is a man with no legs and he sprinted 100 metres in 10.91 seconds. He did not sit at home and complain that he has no legs. Instead, he proved to the world that even a man with no legs can do things normal people can do.
So, if you think your life is upside down and you cannot take it longer. Think of those less fortunate than you and tell yourself you are fortunate and nothing will get you down. God will never put a burden on you heavier than what you can bare.
Remember, every cloud has a silver lining. It might not shine today but it definitely will shine tomorrow.

This is just what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for the inspiration and reminder. I need my silver lining to start shining again...
ReplyDeleteVery touching story and so true sometimes we do not realise how fortunate we are in life - and yet we complain about the smallest things.
