Life in this world isn't always smooth with no problems or difficulties, there will always be a problem or difficulty. Indeed, problems or difficulties have always been part of life in this world. Sometimes, problems or difficulties we face it lightly, not too complicated, but sometimes so severe that we can't smile and give thanks. I also felt the same way when I was in a difficult position. It's very hard to smile and say "thanks to this problems, GOD". But as a Christian, I've always been convinced that GOD is always with me, for the reason I shall remain grateful.
In life, I've had many opportunities to give thanks through all of life's problems that I face. I've struggled to know how to entertain themselves and others when experiencing distress. Initially difficult for me, but as time went on, I became stronger and can strengthen others.
Give thanks not only to the good times, but in a state that collapsed should still be thankful. Many painful things that happened in my life. Lost my dad when I was a child, rejected by family, living in distress, couldn't complete a college education because don't have enough cost, betrayed by lover, abandoned by friends, enough for me to be a reason to complain and discouraged, but I don't want to, because complaining is useless, won't be able to make things better.
It always makes me give thanks is because I had a mom and sister who love me, some good friends who have always supported and don't laugh at my weakness, and most importantly despite all the problems I faced, there's always a valuable lesson GOD taught me, how to tackle life with GOD, trust and complete surrender to GOD because this is the will of GOD.
_ 1 Thessalonians 5:18) _
