After having been born again, after one's spirit has been indwelt by the Holy Spirit, after having been baptized by the Holy Ghost, one's life is about to begin a new beginning. As a young Christian, one must wait for a certain time for him to grow. Like a butterfly, a new life cycle is about to take place.
It takes time to grow. If the silk of the cocoon that wraps the young butterfly while waiting for its time to fly is forcedly peeled off, or if the young butterfly inside the cocoon is taken away while its time has not come yet, it will only kill the butterfly and waste the beauty that's waiting to unravel.
But it really pays to be patient. Believing that the right time will come, learning that everything has to undergo a process will teach one to be patient.
Everything is set with a purpose. While the time has not come yet for a butterfly to fly, the purpose is to make it ready and equipped, as well as a young Christian, he must wait his time to grow. And when he is fully grown and ready and equipped, he must go and fulfill the scripture saying, "And as you go, preach, saying, 'the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely you have received, freely give." (Matthew10:7-8)
One must be strong in facing his life. There's always time for everything. A right time will always come.
All through out the years, the love of the Father never altered nor decreased. He has always been good to all who believe in Him, and to those who don't believe, He still waits for them to come to Him.
Though time's getting tougher and harder, there is a God. A God who has everything in control. A God who always searches deeper things than a naked eye can find. A God always ready to love your worst, and a God who can make a gold out of a miry clay.
He never stops watching over all of us. He sees our griefs, catches our tears, and even carries us when everything's getting too hard.
Is there anything too hard for the Lord? Absolutely, nothing's impossible to Him. He knows everything. Man's insensitivity and unbelief may be the reason why God seem to be absent in their lives. God is searching for a heart that's desperately seeking for His help. I mean, if only everybody's seeking God with all they can and with everything they have, will it be to hard for Him to do miracles in one's life? In fact, it took me so long to have myself a sacrifice, meaning, offering everything I do to Him, as in all, everything.
Let me tell you this, there was once in my life I thought I'll never change. I thought, I can't get through it. I always thought that "what I was is what I will be forever." Though I wanted to change, life without a God is too difficult. I kept struggling to get something I want. I worked hard to please them that feed me, to have good grades and of course to have myself a good life. Those reasons why I struggled so hard may be the noblest in my entire life.
But everything suddenly changed when a great man I once knew came. His name is Jesus. I knew Him through lectures but not as much as I know Him as I take closer walks with Him. He did great things and still He's doing great. I never imagined this kind of life. I wished for this but I did not know that it will come to reality. Nothing really is impossible to God. In Him, amazing becomes ordinary, and with Him, mercy overflows.
Life without Jesus is really not life. You live because you breathe. You live because you eat. And certainly, you live because you are in this world. But the question is that is the real man within you alive? You only can breakthrough this world and beyond that, there's nothing. Nothing but just a hardly-struggled life.
Some say, only those who are rich has the capacity to live life abundantly. But the book of Isaiah 61:1-2 clearly stresses out that, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me (Jesus), because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn."
Isn't it great to know that a God came for me? for us? Isn't it great to know that we are secured in the name of Jesus? Jesus came for us, to free us from the bondage of sin and of death. Is it really hard to accept Him. What I mean is that, making Him as your personal God of salvation, the Lord of your life and your Father. Is it that hard to confess with your heart that Jesus is Lord, that life is nothing without Him?
If all the miseries of life makes it too hard to accept God, then I would tell you, God is greater than all of those miseries. Jesus said, "Come to me all you who labor and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28) This rest is greater than a day-off from a job and even greater than a week leave.
Christ, the giver of life, never stop loving us. We are always in His heart. He came to have us a life that's abundantly lived. Why would you think of all the sufferings you encounter? You alone can't take all of them away. Our strength is not enough to battle every circumstance we face.
Yes, life is too hard. Too hard for those who think it is. But in Christ Jesus, everything's possible. Life in Christ Jesus is like being in an eye of a storm. The world around you is trembling down while you are at peace. That's how great our God is.
Why would you hesitate believing that there is a God that is able to take away miseries from our lives. Offer everything to Him. Every pain you bear, every shame you have, every sorrow you feel and every sickness you have will become nothing if you just believe that Christ is able to take away all of them.
Trust Him. Give Him your life, your everything, and all you desire will be in your hands. Offer Him all that you can be. None will you lose if you just try it. He is a God of chances. If you think you had become the worst, try changing it, offer it to Him. And you'll see how you'll become after you put your trust on Him.
