If I Could…

If I could stop the rain. I would not. For at the end, there’s
a beautiful rainbow…
If I could keep from falling down. I would not. That’s how we
learn to get back up…
If I could make every tear cease, and stop every disappointment,
I wouldn’t do that either because at the end of those tears a beautiful smile
appears…
Struggles create endurance, endurance causes persistence,
persistence creates dreams, and dreams become reality.
If I knew then, what I know now, I’d still live my life just
the way I have. Because without that path I would have never learned the lessons
that make me who I am. By the grace of God; I became a person of deep
compassion, merciful, humbled and forgiven.
We will make mistakes, we will go through many heartaches
and setbacks and trials that torment the soul…
But every tear; every heartache; every trial that comes and rips us apart
it tears at our being and shapes us, into who we are supposed to be…
We could become bitter and waste our lives, but I pray we
become better and live a life of honor…Strong and courageous!
Celebrate the joy when it comes and the sorrow; embrace loved ones before
they go; we never know when this life will be cut short…
And remember…always, always, that…love is better than hate!!!!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
