sadness is the main recipe of brokenness, happiness is the fruit of success in everything that we do. who like sadness? no body it seems, all of us only wants happiness. on our daily life, we struggle to find happiness, in our relationship, with friends, family, things that makes us happy. we work so much to gain the satisfaction that we want to have. why we are so distress? mainly because, we fail, when we set our goals and wants and we did not have them, we are so frustrated that in some cases it is like the end of the world.
Christians or non Christians suffers the same, struggles the same. If only all of us know that the only way to surpass all of this is to kneel at the foot of the cross and lay it all down with meekness in our heart and surrendering all. As a Christian, we are so blessed knowing that our God is the Almighty and God of all.
2 Cor 4:7-15 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the power which surpasses all things may be seen to be of God and not of us. We are sore pressed at every point, but not hemmed in. We are at our wit's end, but never at our hope's end. We are persecuted by men, but never abandoned by God. We are knocked down, but not knocked out. In our bodies we have to run the same risk of death as Jesus Christ did, so that in our body the same life as Jesus lived may be clear for all to see. For all through our lives we are continually handed over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life also which Jesus gives may be clear for all to see in our mortal flesh. The result is that death operates in us, but life operates in you. Because we have the same spirit of faith as appears in that passage of scripture where it stands written, "I have believed and therefore have I spoken," we, too, believe and therefore speak, for we know that he who raised up the Lord Jesus will raise us up also with Jesus, and will present us with you. Everything that happens to us is for your sake, so that grace may abound more and more, and so swell the thanksgiving which rises from many to the glory of God.
God bless....
