Читать книгу Let The Weak Say: - Job Mothiba - Страница 18

Do not settle where you are in life. You may think you have got a long way to go, but sometimes you need to look back at how far you have already come. You are closer to your miracle than you think. One small step is all it takes for anything to happen. Just making that step can be harder than you think. You just need a little push to realize your potential and it is that push that can kick-start everything. Remember, what comes easy, would not always last. And what will last, would not always come easy. So, get ready. “Ask of Me,” and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.” (Psalm 2:8)

So many of us give up on things before they have the time to become great. If you give up every time things do not go according to plan, guess what, you are training your body and your brain. Whatever you think about, creates new patterns in your brain. When you give up on yourself you are also giving up on potentially millions of people who need your success for their own inspiration. Whatever you do not quit. If you cannot fly, then run. If you cannot run, then walk. If you cannot walk, then crawl.

Whatever you do, keep moving forward. Remember that struggle and hard work makes it all the sweeter at the end. Let God remove some things you thought you needed but do not. He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Have confidence in Him. He is our sufficiency and strength. We are never alone in the time of need. “Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth” (Luke 3.5)

Don’t you dare give up because of the way things looked yesterday? Do not even think about it. Remember, nothing is as bad as it seems. There is a benefit and a blessing hidden in the folds of every experience and every outcome. Every day is a new day to try again. Your “Yes” is out there. Do not stop trying. I do not care how many No’s you have got. One “Yes” from God is all it takes. In almost every situation, a little more willingness to acknowledge that there may be something you do not know could change everything. Your past disappointments does not justify your un-belief. Your best days are ahead of you so stop looking backwards.

God is a very present help in times of trouble. So, be present in the present, not in the frantic future of “what if? For the biggest enemy of the present moment is worrying. It does nothing but steal your joy and keep you very busy doing absolutely nothing at all. But the one whose mind is focused on the Lord, will keep in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3)

Sometimes what does not happen paves the way for the very best things that will ever happen to you. I know sometimes you can get discouraged but do not give up because God knows exactly what you need and when you need it. He will provide. Even that what man took away unjustly from you God will restore, when He gives back He always gives so much more. It may appears you are going backwards but it is only an appearance. God is setting you up for forward mobility.

He will use your situation to inspire others. Remember, someone else is watching your endurance. Just know that you are not strong just for yourself. Your strength will inspire others. For, “Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. “So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Sometimes life can be so difficult, cruel and bitter. However, the life’s struggles often touches a denied weakness we all have, for all of us have areas of weakness yet, still within us it is a reserve of inner hidden strength. Having strength is also knowing that you cannot be strong all the time and it is okay. You were born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection. You do not have to pretend you have it all together.
