Don’t Miss Your Blessings

“But he who dares not grasp the thorn
Should never crave the rose.”
-Anne Brontë

There are blessings in store for us, but we must be willing to claim them. There are jewels of happiness along the way, but we must have the courage to walk the path that will lead us towards them.

Life will not always be easy. We are bound to encounter difficulties now and then. But we should never allow these difficulties to keep us away from living fully and joyfully.

Despite all the pain, we can still claim moments of happiness. Despite all the darkness, we can still see the brightness and beauty of the stars.

Don’t miss your blessings. You will pass through this life only once. Yes, you will get hurt, you will fall down sometimes. But yes, you can also find light, you can find eternal treasures to keep if you do not give up and if you continue to hope and to rise again.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burnt,
and flame will not scorch you.
For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
your Saviour.
-Isaiah 43:2-3, WEB-BE
