life is full of bumps and bruises. it's what you learn from it and what you do with it that makes you who you are.i was reading this article in Glamour magazine and it was about these five women who overcame deadly situations and got on with their lives.
these women went through a double lung transplant, an open heart surgery and then gave birth to twins, a cancer survivor, a deadly bacterial infection, and one of the women, who was still a teenager , survived knife wounds that most people would not survive.
reviewing this article got me thinking about how people go about their lives. surely enough, ife is not a smooth ride. some people, when they hit a bump, give up and turn around while others find ways to go over the bump or around the bump. i certainly believe that everyone should do the latter and be like these five women and find ways to get around these bumps.
so when you reach a bump on the road called life, don't give up because you're not the only person to ever reach that particular bump and you're not the last. be an example for your followers.
BIBLE READ:
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary.
There is no searching of His understanding.
He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40.28-31
PRAYER:
Lord, sometimes we hit bumps and get bruises in our lives and we do not know how to find a way to avoid them but the easy way out and give up. remind us that these bumps and bruises of life are tests of our strength and that what does not kill us only make us stronger. forgive us for giving up easily and for our sins. thank you for the gift of life. we asked you these in your most precious name. AMEN
