It amazes me how people can buy something cheap and use some paint or fabric to make it look original. People may say why not buy the item new, but refurbishing is fun to a lot of people as well. It also reminds me of how often problems arise that we alone created. As odd as it may seem, though, there might be someone else that needs to learn or benefit from our heartaches. There is always a reason for our troubles but we must be strong enough to hold on to the faith that God gave us. God may have given us the problem just to see if can re create and make it special. However, we need to make a change for God and ourselves not other people. Inward beauty is what matters to God most of all because on the outside we are just clay molded into a person.
For our own sakes, we need to be able to take that old piece of furniture or clothing and turn it into a masterpiece of our own. Being depressed is what the Devil wants, it is one of his sharper weapons. Whether we re create the problem physically or mentally, living on the brighter side of life makes like seem a little happier. Being able to turn our sadness into joy makes the Devil even angrier because He knows that we have strength in the Lord. We need to be able to reflect on how well we are doing in life instead of how old and ugly it can be.
I know that this theory is restated over and over again, but it is so very true. God wants us to be happy, but it is up to us to want to be happy. We can not just stay in the same ole rut and expect to get anything out of life. It is impossible to get anywhere when you are stuck in the mud. Unless we are able to call for help we can not get unstuck. There is always a reason for being stuck in the mud, maybe we put ourselves there, or maybe God put us there to be a witness to someone else. We can look at the situation either way.
Sometimes we are the most probable cause of the situation but sometimes there are situations that arise and we have no control over. Those are the times that we must go to the Father and ask for help. We must ask Him for guidance and wisdom to be a blessing to someone else instead feeling sorry for ourselves. We can always use our condition or situation to be a blessing. So if there is some trial that you are going through today think of how that detour was meant for you to lift another person's spirit or how you can be a help to someone else with that same problem. It may even be that the other person was supposed to be a help and friend to you.
Whatever the case may be always try to hold your head up high and remember that something better is coming along the way. There is no sense in wasting your life moping and sobbing about what could or should have been. As said before, our way is definitely not God's way so we need to be patient and let Him work His perfect will in our lives.
