Wearing A Smiling Face In The Midst Of Adversity

Source

Good day my friends, you know I was just on bed today and I was trying to ask myself some questions hoping to get answers. I went to the mirror and was comparing my pictures (2022/2024), I really wanted to know the one that made sense the more.

While trying to compare these two pictures, I realized one thing, 2022, I lost my job and mom and then I was furious with life, I never gave laughter a chance even in the midst of all of these, I aged really badly. I had wrinkles on my face because I was being too serious and I had think that was the end of life or maybe life wasn't just fair to me alone.

Now, fast forward to 2024, I lost my job again, lost huge amount of money, business crashed, lost relationship, got betrayed but then I still look pretty cool, quite demure as compared to 2022, I went online and checked why people have wrinkles even when they aren't old and one of the primary reason is that 'they don't smile'. I had a flash back on how I would cry everyday and curse the day I was given birth to but everything changed afterwards.

I learned to develop a thick skin in life, though these things are quite hard to live past but I realized the best way to keep going even in the storm is never to focus on the tides. I smile as much as I can, I do things that makes me happy and not just to please anyone.

I learnt to stay away from bad energy and I want you to do same. I want you to know that life might not really give you what you want but when once you are able to live through those shaky moments, you won't only be proud of yourself but you will live long and with sound mind.

You have gone through hard times and for some reasons you feel it's quite over for you, just believe me as long as you are still breathing, life has a way of replenishing your lost glory, you only have to keep living for yourself, keep smiling and don't get bent over by your present circumstances.

Put God first and allow him to sail you through, you will have this undeniable peace of mind. Do the things you can do and where you can't reach, go on your knee and hand it over to Him, He has a way of lifting those burdens and give you rest.

Always know that Sorry may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning, that pains has an expiring date, that troubles and sickness is not coming to stay forever, it will go, handle it lightly so you won't be carried away by the storm.

In conclusion my friends, whatever you are doing, do not let anything rob you off your joy and happiness, stay happy and healthy, be intentional about your peace of mind and hand over things you can't control to God and He will do it for you, shalom my friends.
