Dear Editor,
This topic deals with the real-life situation especially in this age of pandemic.
We all are affected in one way or the other by this pandemic. This situation is what we call adversity.
Adversity a state or instance of serious or continued difficulty or misfortune. Adversity is a test of your character.
When adversity strikes we should get spiritually stronger (trusting in Jesus) to overcome the situation.
It demands a change in lifestyle, is it financially or physically. Your survival depends on how you see the world and your faith in God.
No matter what, be honest still, help people still, in any form you can. Strengthen yourself by doing things to overcome the challenge.
Remain humble still. Be loving still. Pray more often than ever before. Stay faithful still. Trust in God still.
Love your family still. Seek advice and counseling if you need help from people who have the capability to assist.
No matter what, do not expect anything for free, let the helper grant you grace and show appreciation.
Your character in adversity shows people the real man or woman who you really are.
Do not steal, ask and be grateful for what is given. Appreciate and be thankful for whatever is given to you.
Smile and continue to laugh, it takes away stress. A rainy day today does not mean a sunny day will not come tomorrow.
Nothing lasts forever. Even the bad things will pass.
Adversity can be a change to make you a better more honest person, more humble than you were ever before.
As strange as it is, it can be the path for you to depend on Christ more than ever before.
Remember the story of Samson, in his blindness he was able to see God like never before.
Conclusion: please make the best out of every challenging situation and never give up.
Choices have consequences, choose wisely.
The Patriot Miguel Arrindell
