2020.
A year anticipated to be great.
A year of change.
And change there certainly is. The people in this world are constantly pushing themselves back into a corner. Peace, joy and love is what I want.
But don't we all?
We're living, yes?
But are we present in our own minds?
We act before thinking and there are only two outcomes. A positive and negative one. We call ourselves human beings but then dehumanise our fellow brothers and sisters "just because we feel like it".
The world is hurting its own self and we're the ones doing it. We are called upon God to do good deeds out of the willingness in our hearts. We fight each other, but what are we fighting for?!
Who are we fighting for?
We say "Let's stop fighting and make peace" yet it starts from ourselves. We can only resolve this by evaluating ourselves, reflecting on one's character. We convince ourselves that we are good people. But were merely people with two options.
We are either a person with good intentions or a person with bad intentions. But I too am a hypocrite in writing this. I label people as either good or bad. Not whether their intentions are good or bad. As the saying goes "There's always room for improvement".
And that's what I seek. Improvement in all aspects of my life, family, faith and so on. I want to be a testament to God's word and He wants us all to seek Him too. We find our purpose in God, in Jesus Christ. Some may object to this and yes that's good. God wants us to question things (respectfully), He wants to converse with us.
Every day is a test, our faith whether in God, a wife, husband, mother and so on is a test everyday. We are meant to endure as Christ did. Our pain can't be compared to the glory that awaits on Jesus' arrival.
It is fair to say life's unfair. Writing that sounds funny. Doesn't that sound like a paradox? Contradicting? That's a paradox and very convoluting as it should be.
We struggle, cry, grind, overcome and find joy, then repeat. It is because of God that we can overcome our problems, because we are
Fearfully and wonderfully made in His image.
