The Story of Life

Life is like a good book . . . it has a beginning, a middle, and an end. A good book is full of adventure, love, happiness, sadness, hate, pain, frustration, and failure . . . much like life. Each person has a unique story . . . and no one can see the whole story at once (aside from God) . . . you must survive one page at a time. Write your story so that it would be worth reading when life is over and you and God take a look at what you've done with your life. Make someone smile or laugh . . . share God's love, it is then that you'll see everything else between is worth it. Live one day at a time, taking each experience and growing from it. Write your life story so that when you enter into God's presence He will hold His arms out to you and say "Welcome home my child, well done."

So often I view life wrong. I want the good and easy things in life, but want to get by without any pain or frustration . . . or most of all -- failure. I, myself, am a writer . . . or at least try to be . . . I know that a book could not be any good if all it has is happiness and bliss. What would life be without pain, frustration or failure? We would never grow or mature -- we would never truly know what it means to live. Life is often hard, but when we trust God, we triumph and overcome the many obstacles that cloud our way. God never promised that life would be easy . . . we live in a world that is corrupt, how could it be easy? But God does promise that he would not leave us. Each experience we go through builds us up to be the person we are meant to be. I want my story to be one that would show God's love and power -- a story that my Saviour would be pleased with.
