Incredible Resilience

During Monte and my time in Baguio, Philippines back in the time around 2000 and 2001, one time we experienced rain that lasted for ten days. It was amazing. Sad to say, the rain brought about life threatening landslide in the mountainous region. People were made homeless. The natural calamity brought about much hardship especially for the poor people. However, it was commendable that the people had such incredible resilience. They picked up their broken homes and lives and started all over again. They bounced back. They overcame all odds to stand up on their feet again to rebuild a new life.

The Lord builds us up continually. When we fall and fail, He helps us to stand on our feet again. Through our faith and endurance coupled with resilience, we persevere in our walk with the Lord. We grow from strength to strength. Reaching the finishing line is our main goal. With our hearts open and our hands raised, we posture our hearts toward our eternal God and Father. To whom all glory, honour and praise is due.
