Trials and Tribulations

Life on planet Earth is filled with trials and tribulations. They are constantly coming at us like waves to the shore. It is okay to be angry, and it is okay to feel helpless.
The Bible encourages us to boast gladly about our weaknesses. It is not the way of the world. It’s the way of grace. And in this weakness, Christ’s power rests on us.
But no matter on what and how big is your trials and tribulations are, we shouldn't ever sin.

"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:"
Ephesians 4:26 KJV

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds” 
James 1:2

"Testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything” 
James 1:3-4

"And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
Romans 5:3‭-‬5 KJV

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"
1 Peter 1:7 KJV

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9‭-‬10 KJV

The biggest and most captivating smile that I have ever received is in 2004, when I was doing a charity work to the marginal people who live in the landfill of the wealthiest people in the country. The warmest hug that I have ever received from a stranger is in 2018 from the homeless man who stop and asked me if I have a spare change which I did not have. Despite the fact that I had nothing to give him, he gave me a hug that I can't forget, the hug that come unexpected yet so beautiful. God usually pack a lot of power and strength into tiny little packages, in the most humble way.
