Life is filled with challenges and sacrifices that have to be made. Sometimes they are easy, but usually they are very difficult to make. We wish that someone would just tell us what to do, and spare us from making those tough choices, but I've come to realize that making those tough choices is what makes us who we are.
Life will always be scattered with moments of "what if" and "if only". Regrets that make us want to stop living because we feel like it has become so hard to carry on. We share our problems with others but can they solve it for us? Can they truly sympathize? At the end of the day we feel like we're sinking so deep that the surface is beyond our sight.
But I've come to learn that God is always in control, and that whatever we do, whatever we choose he will always be there with us. A promise to be there till the very end of the age (Matt 28:20). My life has been littered with such moments, with such regrets, constantly wondering if the choices I made were the right one. But will I ever know then at that moment if they were the best? I guess not, until I've let things take their course.
I want to help people when these tough times come, but truth is I can only go as far as the human mind and heart can go, or will go, which sometimes isn't enough. But God will go all the way because there is nothing beyond him.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord," plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
