Praising in the Storm.

All of us are expected to mature. we don't have a choice, the world will not wait for us, that's why even if sometimes even if we feel that we're the biggest losers out there or if we feel that the whole world is against us, that is not enough to put your shoulders down and surrender. It could be that there is so much school/work to do, incredible problems, lack of self-belief and many more.

Even if we're in the middle of the storm of problems, we will always have a choice. according to Anthony Giddens, people are agents because everyone has the power to make a choice, the power to make change happen and the power to challenge the system. That's what makes humans great, noble and worthy of God's name; we have the power to make choices. some people can't handle this responsibility that's why they falter, but during these toughest times we have the choice to make the greatest and hardest decisions, these decisions reflect who we really are and how strong we really are.

That's why even if we're caught in the middle of a heavy storm, we should always choose the greater power, the supreme being, our rock, our fortress and the strength of our hearts. The Great I am will bless us for humbling ourselves and raising our hands and make our heart's burst out with worship.

"To whom much is given, much is required." For those who feel that God is picking up on them, you're so wrong. You should feel special and blessed because God believes in you, the one who created you believes that you're strong enough to overcome the storm.

That is the Challenge given to us, to challenge the norm, to face the storm, to praise in the storm. Can you do it? I'm still struggling with it... Can you just imagine how great our world be if all of us will praise Him even if we're in the middle of the storm, why not let change start with you? Be an agent of change, be an agent of change that can help change others. Praise in the STORM! :)
