Something I have learned recently
|
Life can be compared to a potter and
clay. In order for the, soft, easy tearing clay to become a
beautiful pot, or a vase, or whatever, it has to go into a kiln and
through extreme amounts of heat. Now, apply that to your pain
you're feeling right now in life. You are hurting for one purpose
and one purpose only: So at the end of your pain, you will be a
totally different, if not better, person. That's why God has
orchestrated this. He doesn't want someone who gives up
easily. He wants to be praised in the storms of life, as Mark
Hall of Casting Crowns puts it in the currently number one song in the
country, "Praise You in This Storm." This is one aspect I failed to do through my pain, and I wished I had known it when I did have pain I was going through. And somehow, for some reason that I now know, I did not do what I was going to do two nights before Thanksgiving: November 23, 2005. God didn't want me to die, but I did. And as I listen to "Praise You in This Storm" right now, I think to myself, "What a fool I was to think I needed to die. I don't need to die, because I've only just begun to live." |
