For the most part, we often hope that life brings us happy returns. They say life is full of ups and downs, referring to the good times and bad times. But of late my life has been a mixture of both at the same time. A cup of sweet hot chocolate with extra salt in it . Scratch the last part if it doesn’t make sense to you.
Currently studying the book of Mark, I noticed how Jesus’s ministry was more of a bittersweet experience too. At one end there are religious leaders with pure hatred towards Him and at the other a crowd of desperate people in need of him. The crazy part is His own family and friends misunderstood Him (chapter 3 verse 21 and 31).
In a single day one side of my life may be productive, while the other is full of chaos. Its a bittersweet experience. I rarely have a time that am like 100% happy with no disturbing issue by the side.
I got a bit of comfort after reading this. I am not the only one who experiences this. If my own Master faced the same, and still conquered so will I and so will YOU.
We already have the strength within us to face it all.
