The Inseparable Element of Crisis and Victory.
The weekend is always a fun-filled moment that is always entertaining with my junior youth group. This is a vibrant group of youngsters who are eager to learn together and support one another on a path of service.
Ever since I attended the animator's training and learn about the age group between the ages of 11 and 15, It has been wonderful having a better understanding of this age group that seems difficult for the majority to understand.
During one of our junior youth group meetings where we were studying the first text of the program. I came across a concept that strikes my heart deeply, "that the fact God confirms us when we make an effort does not mean that life is easy".
I find this concept so interesting because I grew up with a mindset that only good comes to the children of God despite my consistent effort of living a pious and religious lifestyle, I experience a lot of challenges and difficulties in life.
Again, one of the priceless lessons I learned amid the challenges of life was tests and difficulties are designed for our perfection.
It seems to me that any time the students write a test and passed, he or she is promoted to the next grade.
Wisdom of Difficulty
I thought it wise to reflect on the situation in the household where I grew up with my peers.
The kids who were going through a lot of difficulties grew up with a stronger capacity to overcome obstacles.
The crawling babies in their attempt to learn about walking fall several times before they can walk.
The more we trimmed the flowers in the garden the more colorful and beautiful the garden becomes.
The local fowl who are everywhere struggling for food and running from dogs and cats seem to be stronger than the agric fowl that is been raised in a poultry farm.
Altitude towards moments of Victory
The victorious moments in life should be approached with a sense of gratitude and humility. The understanding that crisis is followed by victory and vice versa is a great level of consciousness that one is supposed to imbibe on this earthly plane that is filled with a lot of struggle and challenges.
There's great Wisdom in reaching out to the poor ones in whatever way possible in the period of victory. Portraying a life of servitude seems to be the best in moments of victory.
There is always a divine connotation attributed to moments of victory as such a praised worthy attitude and prayerful mood is required as a sign of appreciation.
Attitude towards the moment of crisis
In moments of crisis, one should view those moments as a test for promotion. It's natural to feel weak or down during periods of crisis but at the same time, it's always productive to approach life as a learning process.
The joyful spirit of service seems to be a way out during such moments.
Never take all the problems on your path on your head. Accept whatever comes with gratitude.
Do not forget reliance on God because all existence is in his hands.
Conclusions
Analyzing the great men in history in all fields of life becomes obvious that the greater their suffering the more successful and achievements they recorded.
There is wisdom in both crisis and victory and the average person should make a diligent effort to unravel the mystery and wisdom behind crisis and victory which is a natural aspect of life.
If we research further into the lives of the Manifestation of God, those divine educators who came with the revealed the creative words of God. They experience the greatest tribulations.
Crisis and Victory seem to be a very good and deep concept for the matured minds and one ought to accept it as the natural process of life.
