Suffering In Humility!


Human beings are not born to be free from suffering, nor are we born to live sinless lives! We are simply, “not perfect”! No reason anyway, not to try and live “humble in suffering”. Most people would want to lead a LIFE OF HUMILITY, only when life seems to be GOOD to them, and would not hesitate to start crying and lamenting as soon as trouble starts to rear its ugly head in their daily engagements. Some people would go as far as curse their life and blame others for their woes, or even lay the blame in GOD! Remember the story of Job in the Bible? (JOB 3: 1 “After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth”……) In the end, after so much suffering Job was able to triumph because he accepted the will of God, accepted his weakness as a human being but  remained  humble even in the face of suffering, ridicule, alienation and humiliation from others including close friends and indeed his own wife! Job remained steadfast in his belief in humility, perseverance and not accepting to give up hope, shun good and embrace evil!

  In moments of  tribulations, humans are likely to stray and commit wrongs just so as to try and maintain their lives of  luxury by whatever  means necessary, even at the cost of  others’ lives, if not their own lives! Life is full of challenges and every good thing has its bad side! There is evil lurking in the dark corners of life in every good that you do, waiting to pounce on you and unleash what may seem as insurmountable barricades. We cannot afford to lose our human sanity and the sanctity of life by allowing miseries to take control of our lives. We must always be humble and offer appreciation for the good life that we may be living and not be vain, pompous, proud and arrogant. Stop complaining whenever you feel like life is not BEING FAIR to you! Your basketful of hardships could never compare to other peoples container loads of problems! Whatever we do in life we must always be prepared to counter the hurdles thrown into our way. Life is an endless struggle that can only be neutralized by humility. Be good, do good, always and learn to be humble, patient and never lose hope!
