There will be days of ease and there will be days of struggle. On days when all you see is gloom, learn to weather it out and make the most of the situation. Focus not on the bad that you overlook what beauty surrounds you. Much like the rain that passes and washes away everything, every struggle you go through washes and cleanses you. Be rooted, like a mighty tree that still stands after a storm. For the rain of the storm is what makes you grow stronger to endure the next one. Take comfort in the certainty that God is with you. It is during the storms in your life that He shines through the breach – He cleanses and renews you. No matter how hard it is raining on you, search for Him and you will see the sun. The rainbow will come.

As we sail through life, don't avoid storms and rough waters, just let them pass by. Sail on, because calm seas never make skillful sailors. Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain, teardrops and laughter, pleasure and pain. Just remember, there was never a cloud that the sun couldn't shine through. Life is a constant struggle. Without struggling, man cannot succeed. Behind the storms of life, there's a beautiful tomorrow. Never give up when everything fall into pieces. Never even lose hope when everybody turns their back on you. Life isn't about being fair, it's about surpassing the unfair reality. Life continues whatever happens. All we need is to be positive and be brave with all the challenges we encounter. Faith in God is still the best armor. Be prayerful. God loves you.
