And then, you start thinking of how much you could have been better.
As you look at yourself in the mirror, you see how your life is reflected.
Does your mirror ever tell you how frail hope is?
Does it make you feel like prayers are in vain?
And you are tired of going through failure after failure.
Time seems to be running away ahead of you, predicting more disappointments.
You walk in the heavy pouring rain, when you can't see the way, when your eyes are blinded by fear, when the voice of faith are covered up by the loud scoffers.
Then, you begin to blame people and circumstances around you.
Do you know that mirrors lie? They never truly show the exact "you". They show the bulge or thinner or anything more or less of you. So, what's the truth? God's words are.
For it says "Neither this man nor his parents sinned.", said Jesus; "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." John 9:3
If you're never hungry, how can food satisfy you?
If you're never sick, how can you be healed?
If you never fall, how can you stand?
Yes people, life is filled with misery, so that you can experience God's wonderful works.
"The lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on straight street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight." Acts 9:11-12
"Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel." Acts 9:15
If you never feel that satisfaction, how can you show proof to people to share your joy?
Yes people, you are not just the chosen generation, but you are the chosen instrument.
