Difficult times always make us realize the true value of good times. Only a hungry person can appreciate the taste of a loaf of bread- however hard and old that loaf may be. Only a homeless person can truly appreciate the value of a roof over the head- even if it’s in an old unpainted building. Only the blind can appreciate the true value of sight- even if it’s hazy. And so on. So problems and difficulties teach us to better appreciate the good times. They are very important or else our lives would be partial. God is ALWAYS with us; never think, even in your wildest dreams, that He can ever forsake us. If you have been through only good times, you may have forgotten Him, because you were too busy celebrating and enjoying life. He was always there watching over you and keeping you out of harm’s way. It is only during your difficult times that you turn to Him. When things get out of hand you started cribbing and complaining that He has left you to the wolves. No, that’s not true; He was and is always there by your side. He’s now busy solving your problems and showing you a way out of the mess you are in. It is, perhaps, His way of showing the other side of life; of making you realize that things do go wrong and sunshine as well as rain should be taken in your stride. He sends rain to you to make you appreciate the warmth of sunny days. He puts you through difficult times to teach you the value of good times. It’s His way of teaching you to see the silver lining. You will not crib about the huge electricity bill, because you are earning enough to afford a good house with lights and heating gadgets to keep it warm. You will not feel irritated with the out of tune singer in the row behind you because it means that you can hear well. You will not feel miffed with your daughter for having dropped coffee on your clothes, because it means you have a family to come home to. Appreciate what you have and have thank the Lord for all that He has given you instead of crying for what you don’t have. .Latika Teotia
About This Quote
Life is uncertain, and there is no way of telling what will happen tomorrow. Our lives can change at any second and we do not know what our future holds. If we know that we will never know what the future holds, we will be happy with whatever comes our way. Life is uncertain and the only way to make it less uncertain is to make sure that we make the best out of our current situation.
If we do not take advantage of the opportunities that come our way, then all it will do is take us further away from our goals or worse still, it may cause them to go awry. However, if we understand that everything that happens to us is meant to help us reach a certain goal or a certain milestone, then it will only be a blessing in disguise. We should not feel bad about all the times that something has gone wrong because it could have been a blessing in disguise.
