Take those stumbling blocks and turn them into stepping stones

I was talkin to devon last nite bout life and how love is such a powerful thing. you know we live while we can and love while we can and thats why we must seize the day. a day passed by without love and sacrifice is a day wasted. we were talkin bout the song 'this i promise u' which has a lot of meanin in both of our lives and as we were talkin i couldnt help it but cry. ive been blessed with so many beutiful people in my life, more like angels that pass through and change my life forever. and in an ironic way, ive also been given the opportunity to be an angel in peoples lives. i guess thats the beauty of walkin in the path of God......u never know what lies ahead and the people you are goin to meet along the way.....but u know that we all will end up in the same place....experiencing that same Love which makes all the struggles and hardships seem so worthwhile.

Just as a rose can never bloom without the company of the thorns, so to is life with all its obstacles. i have had the chance to stare obtacles in the eye in the course of my journey of faith and i know there are plenty more to come. i have triumph over some while at others i have fallen miserably. but its never about the place of destination rather the journey itself. some may have it easy, others may not but in the end, each individual journey has a story to tell about being lost, found,of experiencing triumph and defeat. as long as one fights his way through it all.

If life gives u lemons.....u make lemonade.hence we must take all those stumbling blocks and turn them into stepping stones. the more we go trough struggles, the more equipt we become. every follower of Christ has to undertake this journey of faith. we cant say that we wanna share in His glory without first sharing in His passion. even He, the Christ Himself had to go through the pain of being scourged, bearing the heavy burden of the cross and in the end, was crucified upon it. He showed us how to love by His passion and he says now go do the same. love unconditionally and never limit sacrifice for the salvation of others. the very instrument of pain and suffering, the cross became the instrument of out salvation. and for this very reason all of the hardships and struggles and the pain they bring, must be embraced with love. for only love will remain in the end.

no pain no gain.......no cross no salvation.....no suffering no love........
