A statement people often make when they found themselves in certain situations or see others going through such life situation.
Is life really not balance? to you that’s reading this piece, would you say life is not balance?
This can happen when a lady that is looking for a life partner; her description of the life partner goes like this; ” tall, Chocolate in complexion, handsome, Calm, outspoken, very good in the other room, you know what I mean, pink lip and all the good qualities you ever think of”.
Fortunately she found one, possessing all the qualities she wanted as a life partner but unfortunately the guy is not financially stable. ” he has everything I wanted as a lady but doesn’t have money, how can I enjoy all these other qualities without money?” she queried herself, complaining that life is not balance.
Another lady on the other scale of life, has a partner who has lots of money but to her, she said the man is not presentable, he doesn’t have the physical qualities that she wanted in a man. ” oh God life is not balance she said”
I have seen a man who has lots of money but does not have good health to enjoy his wealth.
great partners got married, financially balance but have difficulty in conceiving, so much money without children to enjoy the wealth.
On the other side of the coin, a marriage that is blessed with beautiful children but no money to cater for them.
In all these things that I have mentioned, I believe you will immediately come to a conclusion that life is not balance.
But! I want to shock you. Life is Balance!
The reason why you said life is not balance is because of the angle you are viewing life currently.
The truth is, if you don’t view life in the right angle, you will be worried everlastingly and perpetually complaining that life is not balance.
That your marriage, that your partner, that your finance, that your business, that your ministry, that situation you are in currently, what angle of life are you viewing it?.
If you are not viewing it in the right angle of life it can’t be balance.
Do I tell you the angle you should view life?
Okay! I will tell you, but take a deep breath!
view life in the angle of JESUS CHRIST!
Eccl 3:11a ” he hath made everything beautiful in his time”Jesus is the designer of time and season, he design the current situation you are in, your marriage, life partner, business, is Jesus that designed it and he hath made it beautiful.
Psalms 139:14a ” I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made”you that is reading this now, you are fearfully and wonderfully made, that your partner is fearfully and wonderfully made.
Gold is always Gold, no matter how you placed it;But the beauty of every gold is known only when it pass through the refining process from it grude stage to become a masterpiece.
That situation, that marriage, that business, that partner that is not sweet right now, is only passing through the refining process.It will surely be beautiful in his time, because he has made it so at the beginning.
In mark 6:35-43 is about the story of Jesus feeding five thousand men excluding women. In verse 35, the disciples were worried, and they came unto Jesus and said, “this is a desert place and the time is far passed”
You may be worried because of the situation you find yourself or the partner you have, so you concluded, that life is not balance on your side that you have wasted good part of your life, that you can’t come out of that situation, that you have entangled with the wrong partner.
They told Jesus in verse 36 ” send them away” you are worried looking for alternative way out of your situation, or seeking to divorce your partner.
And Jesus told the disciples in Verse 37 ” Give them food to eat” They complained, even if we buy two hundred penny worth of bread and give them it will not be enough.
You may be saying, I don’t have the capacity to come out of this situation, or I have tried my best on this my partner, it not working.
In verse 38 ” He saith unto them, how many loaves have ye?”Jesus is asking you right now, what do you have? how long have you tried? what effort have you put on that your partner that is not working?
Just relax, settle down, I will make something great out of that your little effort.
proverbs 10:22 ” The blessing of the Lord, it makes rich, and he added no sorrow with it”
Just see your life situation on the angle of Jesus.
Jesus Loves You!
