“So be truly glad. There us wonderful joy ahead even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold – though your faith is far more precious than mere gold.” 1 Peter 1:6-7

Maybe what we are experiencing right now, that feeling of hopelessness, can spur or ignite the fire within us to keep on moving in this uphill climb by fixing our eyes of what’s ahead of us (the view of the top), keeping in mind that these things shall pass, and ‘testing brings forth much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.’

So be glad

Seeds hidden underneath the soil, hidden in darkness, strive to grow with roots grasping and toil to push the heaviness of soil compared to its young and weak stem eager to see the light outside. Let us press on.

Let us bear in mind what St. Paul wrote in his letter to the Hebrews (10:23-24), “Let us hold undauntedly to the hope we profess, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good.”
