We all have one. For some, it's a dull, drawn-out, uninspiring account of their lives. For others, it's an exciting, upbeat, climatic tale of the life they lived. For some, it makes their eyes dance with happiness and content. For others, their life story is filled with scars and regrets. There is one thing for sure that each life story has in common: it's up to you.
What a responsibility! The choice is yours. Are you going to live life to the fullest with what you have? Or are you going to sit and mope around about what you don't have? Christ has given us everything that we need. And that's Him. And Him only! He's died for us, so we may go live with Him eternally in heaven. But...it's up to us.
What are you grateful for? Are you grateful for the little things such as the sun, a breeze on a hot day, or rain for those who need it? Or are you only thankful when things go your way such as you got into the college you wanted, you got the perfect birthday gift, or making it through a terrible time in your life?
Storms come into everyone's lives at some point. Sometimes, it's just cloudy with a chance of rain. Others, it's just a 2-minute drizzle. Sometimes, it could be a torrential down-pour. Others, a tornado, hurricane, or earthquake has just passed through. But remember...to see the rainbow, you have to first put up with the rain. Are you going to be thankful for that rainbow or are you going to pout about your street flooding? Are you going to be grateful for everything that was spared in that hurricane, or are you going to cry and be angry about all the debris you now need to clean up?
The choice is only yours. Did someone negatively affect your life? Well, that was their choice. But it's your choice what you do about it.
In Christ,
Sierra
