NO SITUATION PERMANENT IN LIFE

Sir,

Life can sometimes hand us unexpected predicaments. It is, therefore, imperative that we learn how to navigate seemingly impossible situations.
Painful situations usually show up in different ways. How we choose to respond to pain when it comes will usually determine how far we go in reaching our destinies and fulfilling our purpose in life.

Change

Pain can push us towards positive change, exposing our strengths and weaknesses. It can also build our character and prepare us for our destinies. Yet many of us have been crippled emotionally by disappointing situations in life. Many have allowed emotional pain to stop them from achieving purpose and reaching their destinies. Like raw gold, our lives may sometimes need refining processes to remove impurities that distort who we really are.

Nevertheless, not all pain is useful or contributes to our destiny, because some pain is caused by us breaking the rules that God placed in the universe. Sometimes pain can be a consequence of us defying rules and principles that govern certain aspects of life. In this journey of life, we will go through various seasons of pain and joy. The ability to endure pain is the quality needed to survive every form of pain we encounter along this journey.
Our success will be significantly dependent on our response to challenges and our ability to endure seasons of pain. To endure is to remain patient in unfavorable conditions, to continue on life’s journey even when things are not going well. It’s the quality of mental ability to put up with something unpleasant.

Tested

There is nothing permanent in life; we must all go through the school of being tested, which will make us graduate to achievers of destiny. Tests in life are not designed to stop us, or to frustrate us, but rather to build capacity in us and qualify us for new levels in life. Usually how we act or react towards positive or negative situations in life, may also most likely signify whether we are ready or not for the next level of our assignment.

When we concentrate too much on, or are obsessed with scrutinising other people’s mistakes or weaknesses, we inevitably become oblivious of the big log in our own eyes, and consequently lose the ability to endure adversities of life. We begin to blame and find fault with everyone around us. When we begin to spend too much time blaming others, we lose focus and the ability to endure unfavourable seasons of life. The miscarriage of great dreams can be traced to our inability to endure hard times or dry seasons in life.

Endurance

No matter what we face in life, we should never quit or give up on those dreams. Endurance will always produce good rewards at the end of it all. I like the way Mirriam Webster’s Dictionary expands on the word endurance; the ability to do something difficult for a long time, the ability to deal with pain or suffering that continues for a long time, and the quality of continuing for a long time. When we persist, without losing focus, results in whatever we are doing will come forth. No matter the pain, the time period or the enemies, continue going forward in what you believe is God’s ordained journey for you.
