Beauty of the Sunsets

Ever been to the beachside when it's almost sunset? Felt the cool breeze moving around you, cuddling you like an infant? And your toes feel gritty from the brittle sand and sea shells? Well, I for one have experienced all these. But more importantly, I was privileged to admire the beauty of the sunset at a beachside in Miri. Here's a picture:

It's also relevant for us to know that there is a remarkable resemblance between the nature of sunsets and the life experiences we face each day of our lives. At times, we come across very difficult times, trials, challenges which bear down heavily on us as though they were going to crush us. Some gave up, some are still left in the imbalance, but a few triumped over them all. I'll bet that you're wondering how they succeeded.... I'll be explaining that in a moment.

*coughs* Well, they applied a strong virtue: FAITH. Most of you would be thinking: faith in friends, your abilities, luck and so on. But, I'm referring to faith in God. We tend to forget about how merciful and gracious He's been to us all, until we face such trivial circumstances. I want to solemnly urge you all to remain faithful and righteous in all we do... faithful even in little things... you all know what I mean.

Here's a scripture I got that precisely emphasised on the nature and moral of sunsets....

Through the LORD's mercies, we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness

.(Lam3:22-23)

In all, I'll admonish you all not to give up despite the challenges you all face(including me as well).. Keep the flag flying and the fire within us burning for Christ. Shalom!!
