Courage Through Faith

          Struggles in life come in so innumerable forms. Nobody could ever deny that but somehow those who survive their trials will claim that they are able to do so owing to the fact that they hold in themselves that firm and constant faith in their God. Everyday in our life, we experience different situations- some are merely trivial ones yet others could become so significant that if ever we reflect on them, we will realise though that they emerge as our pathway to be strong in this battlefield of life. 

         Constantly dealing with the everyday challenges of life, we feel that at times, we can't go on anymore...that it is too much for us to continue with this kind of life so full of trials and sufferings. On the other hand, it is then in this moment of emptiness and desolation that we are in need of somebody else to make us strong and firm. 

          Thus comes our conviction and faith on our God. And no matter what name we attribute to this God, in His eyes, we are all the same....we are all special in His love that no one will be neglected and set aside. Nevertheless it is but fitting for us to express to Him our gratitude for the gift of strength and perseverance for these two virtues allow us to move ahead and get up every time we fall down due to problems and inconsistencies in life.
