May Your Road Be Rough by traeces(m): 10:24am On Jan 15, 2013 |
"So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourself with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too." (1 peter 4:1) NLT "Life, if it is going to be abundant, must have plenty of hills and vales. It must have plenty of sunshine and rough weather. It must be rich in obfuscation and perspicacity. It must be packed with days of danger and of apprehension...I wish myself plenty of tears and of laughter, plenty of happiness and unhappiness, plenty of failures and successes. Plenty of abuse and praise. It is impossible to win ultimately without a rich measure of intermixture in such a menu. Life would be worthless without the lot. If, therefore, you are out in this New Year 1964, to win any target you have set for yourself, please accept my prayers and your elixir. May your road be rough!" Tai Solarin (1922-1994) If you ever commit yourself to a deep understanding of our world, you will realize that the creator did not create it to be a bed of roses. Yes he created sweet, but he also created bitter. He created light and he also created darkness. He created pleasure and he also created pain and somehow he has done a great job distributing everything almost evenly to us all. That's why the rich also cry and the poor feed regardless. The unattractive find love and the young fall sick. Little wonder the most laudable achievements (whether they were scientific discoveries, artistic creation or any other achievements), they were borne on the hills of great toil, labour and pain. Imagine that even for Jesus, his cross of suffering and shame was his ultimate achievement not his miracles. Friends, in this our world, we do ourselves so much favour to be armed with the readiness to suffer as that is the most effective artillary in the battle of life. So I join Tai Solarin in wishing everyone what I wish myself: a rough ROAD to an expected and pleasant destination and grace to stay on the road. 2 Likes |
