Life Is Tough For Anyone

It is Sunday again and time for a Christian message.
It is not my purpose here to make it sound as though I have or have had it worse than any other. I know I am blessed. But I have faced some circumstances, whether brought on by my own bad choices or fate, that I have been frustrated with life.

I remember a line from a sermon from some 20 years ago, "Morning always comes." The preacher was referring to the crucifixion of Christ but the same can go for the trials we face. Life is tough for anyone. The best of advice as we go through those times: Just hold on!

Song: Through the Fire

So many times I’ve questioned certain circumstances
Or things I could not understand
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
And my frustrations get so out of hand
It’s then I am reminded I’ve never been forsaken
I’ve never had to stand the test alone
As I look at all the victories, the Spirit rises up in me
It’s through the fire my weakness is made strong

And He never promised the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered victory without fighting but He said help would always come in time
Just remember when you’re standing in the valley of decision and the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again

I know within myself that I would surely perish
But if I trust the hand of God, He’ll shield the flames again

And He never promised the cross would not get heavy and the hill would not be hard to climb
Just hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again
Just hold on, our Lord will show up and He will take you through the fire again
