It’s Okay. It really is.

Your trials, tribulations, highs and lows, struggles and whatever you may be going through doesn’t change who you are. It doesn’t in any way change who you’re made to be. Your worth is intact, you are made for a specific purpose, and nothing can change that.

I mean, Jesus, who was come to save humanity from bondage, the saviour of the whole world, was at His lowest at the garden of Gethsemane. He felt the weight of the cross, and He knew what was required of Him and knew it was huge. Jesus was vulnerable to the Father, and He didn’t hide the fact that it was a lot on Him. He was legit going to give up, but He didn’t. All that happened at that moment didn’t change the fact that He was still the one that was destined to save the world from sin.

So it’s okay to feel bad, it’s okay to fail, it’s okay to feel like quitting, it’s okay to want to give up, it’s okay. It’s understandable. You don’t lose an inch of worth whenever you feel like giving up. You don’t lose your purpose whenever you cry because of the weight of all you feel. It’s okay to cry and for people not to understand you or what you’re going through.

But I want you to understand this; you have so much in you for you to give up. Just like Jesus did when he was going to give up, He went to the Father, who was the only person that could help Him. He leaned on God, and in the end, even though it was a lot of pain, He was able to go through it. Do you know why? Because those that hope in God are continually strengthened.

See, you might have prayed and fasted and still failed that course, lost in that business, or lost that great opportunity. You might have cried to God and prayed all your heart out, and it feels like it’s all falling on deaf ears. Just stay and wait. Your generation is waiting for you, and you can’t give up. Imagine Jesus gave up at that moment; we won’t be here. Jesus showed us at that moment that you can feel the weight and pressure and want to give up but instead, look at what’s ahead and not your present circumstance. Think of the future.

It’s okay to fail; why? Because the one who’s closely knitted to God would fail seven times, but he would always get back up and be victorious. The arm of flesh will fail; our natural strength would let us down. But we have to keep hoping in God and trust that He will save us.

So yeah, It’s okay. Just keep trusting. We’re awaiting your manifestation. I’m cheering you. Are you knocked down? Good, get back up and fight again. Did you lose? Get up and try again. Do you know why you should try again? Because we know how the story ends, in the end, You Win!

Love and Light.
