It's Just Life

I was always taught that life is what you make of it. You evolve into what you are from each choice you make.  We all make good choices and bad choices in our lives and have to deal with the outcome.  Sometimes it is hard and we have to fight to keep ourselves above water and sometimes we can float by without a care in the world. I  alway strive to be a positive person. When the difficult times in life hit you like a brick it can be hard to keep a positive outlook on life. Sometimes you think you made the right choice and it ends up punching you right and the face and knocking you down and it is hard to get back up. No one ever said life would be easy. I have had many struggles in my life. They have been difficult and slow to recover from, but every single one of them have made me more aware of myself. Because of these trials I am stronger physically and emotionally. My struggles have brought me to a place where I know who I am and what I believe and what I am capable of.  I know that I can love someone even when it hurts. I know that with determination I can fight the battles of life and come up an overcomer and have victory in every battle. I know that faith is the key to being an overcomer, without faith I am nothing. When I am down I choose to stand on the promises that have been given to me from my heavenly father and continue in the fight. He promises victory at the end of my life even if I don't feel victorious in my life. He promises that He will work all things together for my good. He tells me to trust in Him and he will take me through the storms of life even when I don't understand and don't think life is fair. He gives me blessings of His sweet piece and strength for tomorrow.  He shows me mercy when I make the wrong choices and helps me through the struggle that I caused myself. He tells me to fight the good fight! He tells me to keep my eyes on him so I do not sink into the deep abis. He promises to keep me! He is my rock, my footrace, my strength, my deliverer, my savior. I can do nothing with out him! He loves me unconditionally, through every situation and every storm. With every choice I make He draws me closer to Him.  All He asks from me is my love and to show His love to others. It is difficult to show His love to others sometimes. When life is unfair and people with ugly, cold, and selfish hearts try to destroy your joy. It is difficult to remember that I am supposed to be an overcomer and love them through their struggles just as Christ loves me through mine. Unconditional love is not easy, but I am supposed to do it anyway. Unconditional love is given to me when my heart isn't pretty and I am supposed to love others when their hearts aren't pretty either. What is unconditional love? It is, I love you no matter what you do to me or say to me to hurt me. I love you no matter what you throw at me! I love you no matter what, to the end!
