To worry does no good at all
But does a lot of harm;
It puts lines upon your face
And dissipates your charm.
Whatever is to be,will be
That worry cannot change;
It only serves to dim your joy
And all your friends estrange.
`Tis lack of confidence in self
That causes wrong’s fight;
A lack of faith in God’s design
Your happiness will be blight.
Then cast aside these gloomy thoughts
And bid your dark fears flee;
Live in the light of FAITH and LOVE,
JOYFUL and WORRY-FREE.
Worry is part of our life. Challenges come on our way specially on our spiritual journey. But it defends to us how we can deal with it and to live a life worry free. This past few weeks is a challenging one for me, lots of things to do in my personal life, family life, community service and peoples around me, so it is really a worry week for me. I am this kind of person whose going to deal others problem or easy to say problem absorber. But He promise:
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body,what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than cloths? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away barn, and yet your heavenly father feeds them.Are you not much more valuable than they?-Matthew 6:25-26
Heavenly Father promise us so many thing, so why should I worry. But I am consumed but this human feeling this past few weeks, to the point that my community life and personal life is affected. But to summarized the lesson I learned is I cannot do it by myself, carrying cross is part of our life but Jesus is always there to help us,I am just a human I can’t carry all of it so I need to lift it up and surrender. Because if I’m going to deal with all of the problems, obstacles and challenges that I will encounter on my journey, for sure I’m not gonna win the battle, but with Him who strengthen me I can claim victory and I can live a life which is WORRY-FREE. And knowing the struggles of other people is not for me to carry but for me to lift up to Him, my duties is to help them pray and guide them so they will feel they are not alone.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”- Proverbs 3:5-6
It’s the word TRUST and SURRENDER for we have a Great God bigger that anything else in this world, and always there to help us carrying our cross.
