Will you ever be sad to see someone who was once on fire and strong for Christ facing difficulties after difficulties and started to fall away?

In my year in the ministry...

Regardless is it from other zone or my own zone.

I had seen a no of this.

Not as much as some of the people but enough to feel their pains for them.

Time after time, great potential can be seen in these people's lives, yet the trials of life beaten them.

The determination to fight on is ceasing.

And the love toward God is fading.

Whenever I heard about their lives.

Cried and sadness filled my heart.

Will I be like them?

I asked.

Will I forget Your love when trials and tribulations hit me?

Lot of times, these questions flooded me.

To walk with God is never easy.

The attacks from the devils.

The mock voices from people who are even close to you.

The struggles to be better not because people told you so but you know you must change.

Yet I know one truth remains.

As long as I love God and remember His goodness, I won;t fall back.

For sadness is short-term but the joy of the Lord is for eternity.

Even at my down moments.

Even when I am not doing well.

Even when those close to me hurt me.

Even when I hurt myself mentally.

The truths remains.

My God love me to His maximum capacity.

Life is boring without Him.

That is for sure.

The past and the world outside might look tempting yet the consequences are not.

To fallen away is to go to hell even without dying physically.

So much of sorrows and only my Lord can take it away.

So much regrets and only my Lord can wash it away.

So much mistakes and only my Lord can cleanse it away.

So much darkness and only my Lord can purify it.

The future is in our hands.

Never look back and regrets.

But look toward the future and rejoice.
