What Defines You?
“I simply do not see how you have
gotten over him so soon,” was the response from a friend who has just lost her
husband. There was no ill-intent meant
by that statement; however, there was a pre-conceived perception. Actually, it was a compliment to the other
person who, also, had lost her own husband within the past year.
What was the difference? The difference was what defined her! It was how she coped; it was a positive attitude; it was her
strength and courage. Actually, her
heart may have been broken, and she may have wanted to scream at the world
inwardly, but on the outside there was a smile; there was a responsible,
independent soul moving on with life in the best way possible.
How does a person overcome their pity
party and sense of loss in times of disaster and stand strong to face the world
through the trial? The answer comes from
within. It comes from a knowledge, a
total faith, and a deep conviction that there is a God who has promised to walk
with you through the bad times as well as the good. The answer is written in the Word of
Life. There are many, many verses in the
Bible assuring us that God is with us at all times.
What defines you?
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
