Does not the bird have every right to start a family nest? Does not the ant deserve a respite from its torturous tasks? Does not the lion have to fight for its mate?
Just like how the stormy waves crash against the shore, so did certain feelings overwhelm me and threaten to pull me under. But just like how any storm will pass and any wave will recede, so too the feelings washed by, leaving behind a calmer, stronger me.
Such feelings are impalpable and I'm sorry to say that I've let it take control of me many times. It tears at me from the insides and threatens to suck my being, my purpose, my joy. But hey, don't we all face situations in life which try to tear us down? What do we do then?
I'm slowly trying to accept it. To accept where I am today, to accept each situation as it comes. I admit that I overreact many times and my imagination runs wild, faster and more crazily than I'd ever imagine. But as the feelings ebb away and my mind is restored to logical, rational thinking, I realise that the worse is only how you imagine it to be. Why bother thinking about the 'What Ifs' when they are currently just that - 'Ifs'?
So I'm learning to be content with what/whom I have and rejoice in the Lord each day. Well, knowing me, I always tie everything back to Christ. When I face the buffeting winds and the stormy seas, I know just who to turn to - God! I admit each day I disappoint Him, and today especially so because it festered. I don't usually allow that, but today I admit was what some will call "A Bad Day". But I just kept on praying, kept on crying out to Him to save me from all of these insecurities that threatened to break me down. But God constantly reminds us that He cannot change us if we are unwilling to change ourselves in the first place.
So, dear Daddy: I will do my best to change. To not let it get the better of me. To rejoice in what/who you have given me, and to have a positive outlook on life. To spread Your Word, even in my attitude; in my actions.
I'm writing this here as a reminder to myself that with Christ as my Anchor, I can stand steadfast despite the storms and troubles. I'm also writing this to encourage whoever who's reading this to not lose hope. Whatever you're facing, whatever the struggles... Remember that all storms end eventually. Just be strong and cling on to the sturdiest Rock. Besides, He has given us the authority to cast mountains into the sea in His Name and receive blessings by faith (Mark 11:23-24), so why fear the obstacles in our path?
My Twitter Bio reminds me this as well.
