An Interesting but True Paradox
"When you are down to nothing, God is up to something."
How true. On a couple of levels.
On one hand, when you experience setbacks in life and you feel as if you or your life is worthless, God has allowed such events to happen for a reason (He's up to something), that is, because He knows you have the capacity to get through it, and if you do, you will come out of it a much better and stronger person.
On the other hand, when you experience the said setbacks, it's because God wants you to know that you do have the capacity to go through it, with His help. In our weakness, the strength of God can be revealed. God is more than up to the task of guiding His precious children through all the cyclones, typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes of life, and is waiting for you to allow Him to help you.
So why don't you smile in the face of adversity, knowing that as long as God is helping you, eventually, everything will turn out all right?
