SEASONS. 096

Life will throw us ups and downs. Every single person experiences the changing seasons. Where I live, everyone falls... into the cold of winter. However, it is equally true that the same set of 'everyone' also spring... into the warmth of summer. Whether it is snow, scorching heat or hurricane season, life, no matter and no matter where you are, will come with s.e.a.s.o.n.s.

I pray by God's grace we may learn to anticipate, embrace and capitalize on every season we go through

No one is qualified for great and important work unless he has been faithful in the performance of little duties. It is by degrees that the character is formed and that the soul is trained to put forth effort and energy proportionate to the task which is to be accomplished. If we are creatures of circumstance, we shall surely fail of perfecting Christian characters. You must master circumstances, and not allow circumstances to master you. You can find energy at the cross of Christ. You can now grow by degrees, and conquer difficulties, and overcome force of habit. You need to be stimulated by the life-giving force of Jesus. You should be attracted to Christ and clothed with His divine beauty and excellence. {3T 46.3}

Lord help us to master our circumstances and not be mastered by them,

IJN,

amen
