FIGHTING GOD?

Yeah, I know that feeling. I’ve gone through it, in fact, I go through it a lot. Those moments when you feel like everything is against you and God’s nowhere to be found? Those straining moments when you feel estranged from reality, when you feel abandoned and nothing seems to go your way? I know the feeling. I’ve been there.

Repeatedly I look at my life and I just keep seeing reasons to complain. I just keep seeing reasons why I should disagree with anyone who preaches to me that God cares for me “Cos I can’t see any proof of that!”

Suddenly, I snap out of it! My veil of foolishness, stupidity and ingratitude are lifted. Reality dawns on me: God sees into the future much more than I can even imagine. Then, I get on my knees and surrender it all allover to God again. My foolishness is forgiven and my burden lifted. I feel light and happy again. My joy returns and I can see the beauty in life once more. I have countless reasons to be happy and grateful.

I now know that the things I focus on will determine how my life will turn out. When I focus on negativity- that will always be there- my life turns grey; but when I focus on positivity, colour is restored to my life and I am joyful yet again.
