Daily we fight our battles and face diverse challenges which test our strength and courage. Moment by moment we make choices which can either bless our soul or lead to disastrous consequences. Every now and then, we may find ourselves in a dilemma which will test our moral fiber. At times alluring temptations may entice us to deviate from the path we ought to follow and lead us astray. However, as rational human beings gifted with freedom of choice we have the power to overcome and lead a fulfilling and meaningful life by being prudent and cautious with our decisions.
Life’s circumstances may be beyond our control but how we respond and cope is all up to us. We always have a choice. Hard blows like loss and illness or the difficulties associated with this pandemic can break us if we don’t have the right perspective. Nevertheless, instead of feeling hopeless, becoming bitter or giving up we can choose to be resilient and learn to bounce back, move on and flourish.
We are not alone in our struggles nor are we left to fend for ourselves, for God is with us. He is our inexhaustible source of power, wisdom and strength. With him we can have triumph over trials, grace in grief and peace despite perplexity. Trusting God, seeking his guidance and following his leading in this tough journey called life could be the best choice we can ever make.
