Just got back from church and the first thing that I'm doing is writing this blog because I felt this urgent need to share something so incredible that my father shared today at our church service. Every single time I come across something that inspires me or makes me feel happy I always make sure to share it out with you all, We never know who might need it the most.
Seeds are always sown below the ground, it stays there in that dark place where nobody is actually able to see how that seed will bear roots or how its gonna grow. But the moment it springs into a beautiful tree and spreads its steams trying to crawl above the surface of the ground that's when we know a seed was sown. Isn't it so similar to how our life goes about? We won't ever dare to share our dark phases of life, times of distress, times we failed, times we lost something so close to our heart, times your heart broke , times you cried yourself to sleep. times of doubt, abandonment, frustration. Only few people know that side of our story, Rest of them are only able to see the stem that sprouted its way above the surface of that dark place. But for a tree to bear fruits it has to be sown in that dark place. For a tree to flourish and provide shelter a seed had to be sown in the first place. The seed of our life is already sown and it's the dark phases that helps you climb up. It's those difficult situations that build you up for what's in the future.
Embrace your difficult times. Because you are a story in the making. Your life isn't done! there are opportunities that'll make you reach your destination. there are people who will help you grow. There are so many wonderful experiences laid up for you. Even if your situation feels like a curved question mark(?) Trust me it's going to get transformed into a straight exclamatory(!) where everything will make sense.
Also just Because you aren't able to see someone's dark phase doesn't mean it never exists. Everyone here deals with situations that are too heavy to carry. Everyone has a part of their story that Isn't shared. So please be kind.
"Count it all joy, my brothers,[when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."
-James 1:2-4
