When life seems like a heap of obstacles…

There often comes a time when life seems a heap of obstacles, a maze full of hurdles and a never-ending tale of woes. When the heart is full of sadness and hope seems like long gone, what should one do? What should one do to lift up ones spirit when the optimism seems to have died down?

I say, strive to move ahead just a small distance, a few steps more. Sometimes those a few steps make all the difference. When you overcome one set of hurdles thinking there are many more beyond it, sometimes there really aren’t any. There just might be a smooth road ahead with lush green beautiful fields surrounding the path to your destination. But, if it isn’t so and there happen to be more hurdles on your way, gather yourself for a few more steps and move ahead. How long can the pain be? How far can the hurdles lie? There has to be an end to it.

God sometimes tests our patience by giving us tasks that we think are difficult to accomplish. But, every test has a time limit. And then, God has to acknowledge that you trust him and thus refuse to give up. Then, he will reward you for your belief and your trust. God’s blessings are great but at times you have to prove yourself worthy of the same.
