“What, then, will anyone gain by winning the whole world and
forfeiting his life? Or what can anyone offer in exchange for his life?”
-Mathew 16:26
I used to find joy in
sufferings that befell me. I used to be so confident about the reason why we
all need to have our share of pains as followers of Christ. But lately, it has
been completely dark and I came to a point when I was already robbed of hope.
Something which we all should not allow to happen to us. But I did. And it’s my
fault. Right now, I can only hope again … and ask God to forgive me and give me
another chance. At life, and death, and living again. Every day, I have to be
ready, every day I have to die. Each time I am being criticized, it’s death. Each
time I am being persecuted, it’s death. Each time someone fails me, it’s death.
Each time I am being judged for the decisions that I make in my life, it’s
death. Indeed, what can I offer in exchange for my life?
