When life seems so gloomy, we [instantly] tend to forget how beautiful our life has been in the spring season. We tend to focus on how hard, and how dark our current situation is more than trying to reminisce about the wonderful things in the past. We are saddened about the fruitless season, but we forget how we felt so blessed about the previous things that we bear fruit.
Not all the time we will have the sunlight. Not all the time we’ll be seeing the flowers grow. The ocean isn’t always calm nor the sky always pours out the rain. There’s an absolute season for everything on earth. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says it right.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)
Maybe you’re in the most difficult season of your life now, I tell you to cheer up! Nothing stays forever, besides God’s love and Himself alone. It’s better to endure it joyfully. Yes. Joyfully. Just imagine how Habakkuk dared to declare that he will STILL praise the LORD despite the circumstance. A faith so solid that couldn’t be eroded. He said,
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and He will make me walk upon mine high places.”
Habakkuk 3:17-19
You, yes you, please endure this season joyfully. Please? Even if it hurts. Even it pains you. Even if you feel numb. Just. Just… let God do His work. Rest now. Rest in His faithfulness.
Let go and let God.
Forever and always,
