"Do not be happy with my enemy my misfortune Even though I have fallen, I will rise up Even though I am living in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7: 8
Lives destroyed, losses, sadness, hopelessness, depression, diseases. These are some very common scenarios in today's days. Wherever we go, wherever we look, there are people tired of fighting, tired of trying, tired of believing and that is why they are on the ground, fallen.
It is a very sad reality, but, unfortunately, this is how most people live, which is an even greater sadness for God, because He did not create us to live like this. His plan was another. Plan for full communion, peace, joy and holiness, but that was not how it happened, we sin and today we live the consequence of it.
But seeing your children like this is too painful for God. He could very well have abandoned, let us suffer the consequences alone, but no. God knew we could not alone and that is why, for loving us too much, He is here. It is with each person who is fallen in a desolation scenario.
The problem is that there are people who refuse to look up and see hope shining above everything. All good to do this at the time of the storm is not so easy, but it is necessary, because if we do not stick to the only hope, if we do not trust the only Person who can help us, how are we going to get out of that hole? ?
Going through difficult times is inevitable, but what we need to keep in mind is that those moments precede the happiest moments of our lives. It is necessary that the moments of struggle come first, to then arrive at such a long awaited and battled victory.
When the Lord is our light in times of darkness, suffering is enlivened, there is hope, there is comfort, there is wisdom, there is patience ... everything becomes easier, because it is He who carries the burden when it becomes too heavy .
That is why it is important not to surrender to the moment of pain, not to rebel by believing that God is not being imported, because He is the one who suffers the most in that situation. You have to get up, and God promises to help us in these times "for though the righteous fall seven times, once more he will rise" (Proverbs twelve and sixteen).
No storm will last forever. Although these difficult moments seem to be eternal, they will happen. And you have a friend who wants and will face them with you. More than a friend, He is their Father, and guarantees victory to the one who passes through the test and remains faithful. Do not want to stay in the darkness, your place is in the light, do not surrender, if you have not had victory yet, it is because you need to keep fighting, stick to God and fight! "Great will be your reward."
