For everyone there will be a time when you will have critical challenges determining whether you want to go back to where you left or whether you want to hold on to your dreams. That season is called the season in between.
My friends, between what you are aspiring for and where you
are right now there is a season in between. It is usually not a pleasurable
moment in people’s life. It is characterized with fear of the unknown, fear of
the unseen. Nothing really unsettles a man like a future that is unknown
despite giving it all. You are investing everything, giving all your best, you are
disciplined, consistent, committed yet there is little or no result for it. Nothing
can be so pathetic like having to watch a loved one suffer an ailment that no
one is sure he or she can survive yet you have spent all, prayed all along the
while, you have hoped and supported, done absolutely everything known to you
but you are not sure he or she can make it. You could also have a season in
between in your relationship or marriage. You have given all that is to be given
but your husband’s head seems to be going in another direction, he has turned
to the worst pain in your chest. Well, yes it may just be your season in
between.
No matter what your own season is, the first survival
trick in the season-in-between is to believe.
Your belief is not belief if there are no obstacles. Belief has failed when there are no obstacles.
True belief is known when it is against all odds. Nobody is interested with how
long you have been disappointed, they want to know if you still have something
else in you that make you believe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, America’s
20th century acclaimed wisest man said “nobody has achieved anything
tangible outside believing”. The problem with a lot of people is that they
treat their faith as optional. Some of you have lost hope simply because you
haven’t been told that it is easier to believe than not to believe. The cost of not believing is far higher
than the cost of believing. What comfort or pleasure will it give you
if you choose to throw in the towel? If you honestly ask yourself this question
you will realize that it pays to believe. It is going to be tough but you just
have to believe. Yes, you have believed for years and nothing has changed, why
now? When the battle gets fiercest, somebody is about to run out of
ammunitions. When the challenge gets bad, you have to understand that a party
in the battle is contemplating giving in and if I am going to be sincere with
you, that person should not be you. So every time you are going through a tough
season, you must remember that a party in this challenge is about to give in
and so it’s either you choose to give in or your situation bows to you, so you
have got to develop the courage to start again.
You are near breakthrough than breakdown; you are much
closer than you can think. Hold on a little longer, believe with all your
heart. Trust a little longer. You have given up on love, love one more time.
Remember, the first survival trick is to believe one more time.
Nothing shall be impossible to them who believe!
