SEASONS OF STRUGGLES: MORE THAN A TIME

Seasons of struggles: more than a time

When thou passessth through the water, i am with you, when though passesth through the river it shall not overwhelm you and when thou passesth through fire, it shall not burn you neither shall it flames kindle upon you........Bible

Their are seasons of struggles, more than a time, periods of struggles more than an happening.

One thing about struggles is this, it has a way of shapening us into becoming what we are meant to be. It deposited in us some core values that is essential for our success.

Their are some strenght and ruggedness that we experienced due to the fact that we have been in the furnace of affliction. Struggles are like purifyer. It takes away what is not good in us and add to us what we needed to become a better person.

There is always a lesson or more to learn when you are encountering struggles. It makes us to come to ourselves. In fact, it reveal us to us personally.

Our adversity or struggles make us to see some good things in us that we may never see when we are okay.

Like Henry Ford puts it, failure is an opportunity to begin again but in a more intelligent way.

Your dark moments seem so long that it seems as if the day we never break but definitely after darkness is light.

In your seasons of struggles, you feel alone, oppressed, cheated most of the times, you wonder what is God doing with your life. It seems so crazy that you are getting more darkness than you think you deserve but i tell you that it is a must for the day to break.

See, whatever happen to you in life, you have to look at it with a positive mental altitude.

Is the water half full or half empty.

Then, you have to know that there is no special problem. There is nobody with special struggles but common struggles. Dont allow anybody to put you in a negative emotion by saying that your case is a special one. Know that whatever you are experiencing has being experienced by people before.

One thing i also want you to know is that, to every mountain there is a peak, to every river there is a beginning and the end. So it is always, it shall come to pass. No matter what you are facing today, it has expiry date. It may seem as if it will never end but i am assuring you based on my personal experiences and what i have seen in the lives of people that there is an end to every affliction, burden and struggle.

You must also hold on to your dreams no matter what is happening to you. You may allow your struggles to shape your life positively but never allow your problems to influence your dreams negatively. Persisitence is the key and you must keep on keeping on. You just have to continue. Let me tell you this frank truth, it is not easy but you just have to hold on to your positive beliefs. The strenght to break through is in your persisitence. Dont give up your dreams and aspirations because of what is happeing to you now. Men must not quit trying in trying times.

Struggles are real and is a path in the making of a man. Dont feel strange when you are in your seasons of struggles. You will come out but you may not feel like it presently. Your season of struggles may last than you think.

There is a time of adversity but their are seasons of struggles. It seems as if the trouble you are going true now is going to end yet it lingers on that you expected. You are feeling as if you want to die that you can not hold on anymore but you can never die of it.

Their are times when pressure comes to you on all sides and you feel like getting bursted. You are so perplexed that you see yourself in the middle of struggles.

Their are seasons of troubles more than a time, periods. This continues like that, know that you are in your seasons or periods of struggles.

You may come out of one problem and you think you are true but before you know what is happening you are in another one just know that you are in your seasons of struggles more than a time or an happening not just a flash in the pan.

No matter what is happening to you today, it has happened also to people in the time past and they did overcame those obstacles , so cheer up, your victory is on the way.

There is no new thing under the sun. What is happening now has happened before and continue to happen. You are not the first one.

When you are in your seasons of struggles, it seems as if you are not going to make it but you will make it.
