When lessons are learned.
I am amenable that when lessons are learned, it's either you learn it the easy way or the hard way. I can honestly say that my lessons are best learned the hard way. Well, actually I can also learn the easy way but God knows I am a person who has to experience pain first and chastisement before getting what He wants me to learn in the process. I say it's pruning--- but in a way, it's also God's way of really taking over. If I can't learn the easy way, okay, okay..God said, Hannah, I will make it harder. But I know you can bear it.
Waking up in the morning has always been a grateful. It is full great and marvelous things that no man can actually fathom. I am breathing and I don't even know why. But one thing for sure, I am alive for a purpose and I am not going to stop from doing that purpose.
I have been to different testings in this mundane walk of life. And it hasn't given me enough reasons to give up. Why would I? When these trials and mistakes are my spices and it makes my life worth living. If life isn't hard, I would never even try push harder and do the ultimate level of my strength. I am not physically strong but mentally, spiritually and emotionally, I am getting there.. I did not made it this far if it weren't because of my trials in life. Shouldn't I experience it, my life will only be stagnant on a certain level of faith. Or maybe not growing at all.
My strength can only be measured on the how many trials I've endured and how many mistakes I turned away from. I am not perfect and will never be.. and just because I am Christian, I live a perfect life--- no, I can't-- The only reason I live life joyfully is because I know that Christ is in me and in every mistakes and downfall, He will never stop from picking me up and dust myself off. But it doesn't mean I will keep on failing, it means---- I should learn from my mistakes so that when I bumped on it again, I AM READY.
I failed God 4 weeks ago--- but, that failure made realized that God is always right. When we decide to sin, it's either we sin all the way or we stop and be sensitive to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I was convicted. I got hurt. And I hurt God--- I was scared of the consequence even if I know I have the grace.
I learned my lessons the hard way. And by learning it the hard way, it's stuck to my heart, engraved in my soul and tied in my spirit. Yes, it's painful--- but it's beyond compare.
Ouch to glory!
