I implore those of you who are travailing on the path of the journey of life to consider the forthcoming utterances, narratives, statements, and questions:

~When you recall and reflect on 'painful events' that have occurred in your life

~How many of them can you say you've been grateful for today?

~Why so? Because, believe it or not, thanks to such matters of life, you've both changed and grown.

Here is another situation that most folk do not realize

Those happy events do make life delightful, but they do not lead to self-discovery, growth, or freedom-Let that sink in for a minute

Now listen to this and know the Reality of Life:

~Every painful event contains within itself a seed of Growth, Development, Liberation, and Freedom.

In conclusion, consider a focus on Salvation and Restoration.

~Salvation ushers in the advent to be 'salvaged' and ultimately Be Restored.

~Being Restored is to give oneself another chance to begin again and to continue along on the path of the journey of life. Amen...
