Endurance

Endurance

I dare not confess   
  the anger I feel sometimes 
  thinking on the heavy hits   
  I’ve taken in life-

The bitter irony of knowing   
  that for far too long, 
  pain has pressed me forward. 
What an excellent motivation 
  pain has been.

How many struggles can I count?
A startling amount, 
  in all shapes and forms, 
​  some devastating storms.

Sometimes in the midst of these storms, 
  I feel that who I am   
  is not enough
  and I search for worldly security 
   in the very things 
  set before me 
  as tools for my destruction.

Yet God's grace and mercy 
  have grounded me to this path.
He has granted me strength 
  so my stride will last.

He has granted me guidance    
  and centered my heart.
Deliverance was assured 
  before my life's start.

God has done everything for me.
I won't turn back now.
To His awesome and absolute power, 
   my soul humbly bows.

Whatever goodness I have
  is the result of God.
My faith will grow 
  despite what comes.

Though the road can be treacherous 
  and I've often stumbled.
With the love of God, 
  I shall endure the struggle.

Endurance is an excerpt from Role Reversal: Turn Pain Into Power.

About "Endurance"

Life is not always easy. There will be many times when our strength and faith will be tested. During those times, we may wonder how we will get through; how we will come out the other side feeling whole.
Whatever advice is offered to you, whatever the trial, and whatever you believe in, there are only two options. One option is to give up and the other is to endure. Me, I never give the option of giving up a thought. I find a way to endure.
I am not better than the next person, nor am I more loved by God than the next person. God will help you find a way to endure if you place your trust in Him. He is ready and willing to help you deal with your issues  so that you can positively move forward in life.
If I knew any better way to navigate the dark periods of life, I would tell you. My truth is that I know I wouldn't have made it this far without the strength God gave me to endure.
I wasn't born with strong faith. It's something I had to want and to work on. If you're going through something that seems insurmountable, I implore you to take it to God, so He can help you  as He has done for me countless times. Even if you haven't talked to Him in a while, take your problems to Him anyhow. He will receive you with open and loving arms.

    I want to help uplift, inspire and empower others and to help leave the world a little better than I found it. I am an author, deep thinker & optimist. I know God is love. I am the author of "Candidreams: I Remember the Beginning" and "Role Reversal: Turn Pain Into Power".
    It is never my intent to push my spiritual views on others. I'm just sharing some of my own story in hopes that you or someone else will gain from it and can find some strength and hope in it.  As I am fond of saying:  I'm just giving you a little personal information and insight. What you do with it is completely up to you!
