I’ve always dreamed of a perfect life, a life where I have no problems whether financially or physically. If such exists I would have exchanged my life for that. A friend of mine posted a status that says, “when one area in your life is going your way, another part isn't. that's life.” I don’t know if it’s just me or I don’t totally agree on what she said. It’s like having you excel at and there’s one thing you see yourself not excelling at all.
The truths, I most of the time notice that if I experience happiness, sadness will just butt in and take the happy mood away. But I realized there’s a dedicated time for something (laughter or even crying) even Newton formulated (his 3rd law) a law that says, “To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction: or the forces of two bodies on each other are always equal and are directed in opposite directions.”
So it just means that in every force/feeling/action there is an EQUAL or OPPOSITE REACTION.
For example, you’ve been given something really precious or something you’ve been “dying” to have what would be your reaction? Of course, you’d probably jump for joy or do cartwheel.
In some cases, the thing they wanted to have and was given to them is later on snatched, it produces opposite reaction. But that's how the way it goes cause there is a time for everything.
In life, there are times when we had to face trials and obstacles. I, for instance, am not a fan of waiting. Whenever I watch series, I’d just fast forward the scene and play the scene I’d like to see. But I remembered in life, there’s no such thing as fast forward or even rewind. In fact, Ecclesiastes 3 even said that there’s a time for weeping and laughing.
Ecclesiastes 3:4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
I’ve imagined my life if there are no such thing as obstacles, failures (and comebacks) or even sadness, and i realized, that life, doesn’t make sense. And I most definitely will not grow. As a Christian, I learned that trials build me up; as much as I dislike them they help me grow.
James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Just think about this, how can you say someone is strong? Of course, when she/he has successfully carried something really heavy, it’s the same way when we undergo trials and or problems in our life, we become strong cause we not only learn from them, we face them and through God’s grace we’re able to solve them in God’s time.
