For everyone of us who feel lost in life right now, feel like we are in a dark place, have too many struggles of different kinds to deal with such as financial, emotional, physical, academic, career and even mental struggles.
Feel confused and alone, wondering why things are not working as expected, why certain people leave our lives.
Faced with different kinds of battles as life deals us one blow after another almost every day like our lives will end this way.
Even as the year is fast coming to an end, there have been things we had hoped for and greatly desired but are no where in sight.
I just want to let us know that this is not where the story ends. It is simply taking a new turn.
Your life's story is in motion. It never ends as long as you are still alive.
You are stronger than every pain, every breakdown, every critic, every betrayal and every weakness you might be going through .
It might seem like the end but that is not how your story ends. There is a new turn and a new chapter in your life
People may have written you off but God hasn't. He has your story written and only Him knows how it's going to end not the circumstance nor the people around you.
For every struggle you go through and every break down you experience, there is a reason for it and I have come to see that happen over time in my life.
Keep pushing through. Push through another minute, hour, day, week, month and year till the time the stars gleam in awe of your brave spirit.
Every day we live to see presents to us an opportunity for a new start. It presents us with hope and the privilege to create a new story or continue the story.
Going through difficult moments can make one question God and doubt His love for us yet we only have Him to cling to in our darkest hours.
It is only by His grace that we are still standing despite all. Lamentations 3:22-23 says "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning'; Great is your faithfulness."
You may not understand everything you are going through at the moment or the meaning behind what you are going through but it's all part of the story.
God will not write in your story what is not needed or what you can't handle. That's why He said in 1 Corinthians 10:13
"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."
Every negative experience in your life is adding value to your life and building you up for a purpose. Just know that this too shall pass.
It is just a chapter of your life's story. Flip the page. As long as you are still alive, there are more chapters in your life that will unveil interesting and exciting new stories.
Stay encouraged, go though this phase knowing God is at the center of it all. Let this phase draw you closer to God and let God do His work in you through this phase of your lie. Trust Him enough to know that He has interesting chapters in your life.
When you think it's the end, That's when God steps in in His mightiness and takes care of the situation beyond your imagination.
That's why He said in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you." declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
So hold on tight, the story does not end this way. It is not over yet. God who has your story written has some great things planned out for you.
Quote for the day - " Life has many different chapters of story. One bad chapter doesn't mean it's the end of the book." Unknown
