I noticed the difference…Long ago…When a lot of friend
bloggers would come and visit. Or I, myself, would go also to all of your
sites. I saw it waning. I knew some of you had gone through mountains of
trials. As I did. My faith-filled days being replenished with doubts as I went
through a trial at work. Suddenly, the leveled path I was walking on was replaced
with a huge mountain up ahead in the distance. My steps, becoming more
laborious. My sight, obscured with the height of impossibilities.
How often I asked the God of Zion… To remove this mountain
in front of me…And as the days turned into months and months into years, the
mountain was still there. He never removed it. He just showed me which road to
take.
I know our trials in life can be overwhelming. Many times, I
feel like putting down my pen and just stop blogging. I often thought maybe that’s
what He wants. For me to stop writing. But that thought doesn’t go with what He
commands for me to do…To share the Good News to those who haven’t heard. Even
through blogging…
The defeat that I almost accepted I refused instead. The
truth sank in…Deep in my heart and mind. That even if God doesn’t move the
mountain in front of me, He never fails to strengthen me and accompany me in
this journey. He wanted to increase my faith instead. True enough, what a
lesson it was for me…The defeat I thought I had from battling those people in
higher positions, was replaced with certainty that in Jesus, I would never
lose. In fact, I had gained much more. Looking back and I can’t say I have
fully conquered this mountain, but despite the higher ground I still need to
climb, Jesus reminds me over and over again…That many times in my life, He will
not move that mountain…
My faith will…Because when I do, that shows how much I
really long to follow Him. Despite the obstacles. Despite the mountains.
So, I ask…not for you to visit me…But to continue writing
from your hearts…Do not lose the love and joy poured into your heart by the Lord…The
number of posts do not matter even…But what you write from your hearts, whether from joyful or sad times of your
journeys, do not give up. Because in doing so, you just never know if you are
helping a visitor or a friend increase their faith because of your experiences
and the things of God you discover in each step you take. But the best part is
to be able to share the Good News to those wandering in their journeys. So
them, too may learn there is God Who is mighty to save anyone from their
troubles.
Blessings to you all!
