Staying Afloat In The 'Sea Of Life'...

     Sometimes, in life, we can feel as if we're 'sinking', going under...this, from our over-loaded 'plates'... our, often, burdened, lives. The stress from struggle, fear, and, heartache, is, frequently, enough, to 'bog us down', and, to the point where we feel we are 'ebbing away'. When we become so overwhelmed, within our, personal, lives, and, we find it's time to, either, 'sink or swim', it's, wonderful, to know that we can rely on the Lord to help us stay afloat. He is a resource available to all, a 'life-saver' to hold on to in the rough-seas of life. Additionally, He knows our 'load' limits, and, as I've heard, my, entire, life, 'will never give us more than we can bear'. He loves us, deeply, and, is here for us, ALWAYS, and knows that with our faith in Him, we can handle what comes our way, as He will help us to bear it. Although, I've tried, never, to do such, many, folks, actually, blame God, when their lives are impacted by difficulties. Personally, I do not hold Him accountable for my struggle, as I understand that struggle is part of the nature of our human-existence. Rather than blame Him for my challenges, I choose to believe that these 'hurdles' are given me as a way to grow in character, emotion, and, spirit; And, for all 'intents and purposes', this has held true. It is, true, as well, that my FAITH has grown, exponentially, throughout all the hardships I have faced. 'God may lead us into troubled water to deepen our trust in Him'. ~ Anon ~ Just Sayin'...
