When I compared the degree I got from university, I realized it is nothing compared to the heavenly degree I got from my sufferings. That was when I started thanking God for letting me graduate in a heavenly way. I am not claiming to be perfect or holy, but I am really clear about his ways and trying to do the best to please him by any means. At difficult times, I give thanks because suffering steers one’s thoughts to God.
Even though I still have nothing tangible, I have every reason to praise him because his love and care are clearly visible to me. Throughout, there is not a single day I ever slept on an empty stomach or in the streets. He fed and clothed me. Even though he created and put me on this earth, I am not of it because whenever I try to come close to it, it spits me out. Since I have no share in it, I beg to focus on God by all means.
Why I am sharing this with you? I just want to encourage you if you are experiencing any difficulties. Thank God, for they may be an indirect response to one of your prayers you have forgotten. Your parents perhaps prayed for something, but God—because he is God—decided to respond that way. He as a parent knows what is suitable for his children.view less
