Being Tested


At some time in our lives, we each must face despair : Loss of a job, death of a loved one, getting cancer, break up of a marriage and even unbearable financial burden. There is also a time in our lives, when we wake up , we suddenly realized that we were not the success that we have always wanted to be.

Problems just keep on piling one after another, worries added upon worries. Fear slowly began to dominate our lives. Tears flow more frequently. Sleep came less easily. We may began to wonder why God doesn't seem to care, if God is really listening. There may even be a time that you just wanted to run away or that you have thought of suicide.

This is a time which can make a person bitter or better. How do you get up when you are knocked down? How not to admit defeat when all hope seems lost? Some people, when they reach this point, they just give up. Others refused to admit defeat and keep on going trying to overcome all difficulties.

Lewis Timberlake's answer was: It's always too soon to quit. No matter how many times you stumble, no matter how many difficulties you met on your journey, remember that the only time you fail is when you fail to try again.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging, seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
You want to smile but you have to sigh..
When care is pressing you down a bit..
Rest! if you must but never quit!
