Chapter 25: Light:Finale

Life.

Death.

The two cannot exist without the other.

The same for happiness and sadness, happiness will never exist without sadness and sadness will never exist without happiness.

Each opposite things need their opposite sides for them to exist.

There is no darkness without the light, there is no sun without the moon, there is no calm without a storm.

It's the same with the rules of this world.

There can never be prosperity without suffering.

The two go hand in hand together. One brings you up while the other drags you down.

You might feel that its unfair for people to be rich when you are poor. That they could eat delicious food while you had to search through the trash cans to find one.

How one person looks beautiful while you are ugly. How talented the other is compared to you. How happy their lives are compared to your normal life.

It is unfair.

That is the world.

That is just how the world was built.

If there is a God out there, they might've just created us and left us alone. As if they did not have any expectations towards you.

Like there are good things in this world, there are also evil things in the world.

The God that I worship and served let evil run rampant in this world.

Because he gave us freewill.

The freedom to choose.

If there is no evil, then do we have free will with just the opposite of evil in this world?

If we are good because only good exists, is that truly free will?

The God I served loves and respects our free will. He had given us a mind, a consciousness to use and he would not limit it.

Every action we take, every word we speak, every thing we do, they would have consequences to them. Will the consequences be good? Or bad? I have no clue.

But there is an undeniable fact. Opposite things need their opposite counterparts to exist. To have meaning.

If we just live our life with happiness, full of joy without pain…

Did we live that life to the fullest? Did we really even live at all?

This is what I'm trying to tell you.

I know that its painful. That you can't endure it anymore.

The burden you carry might be so heavy that you are tired of carrying it.

Maybe your loved ones died recently.

Maybe your best friend is gone. Maybe you had a fight with your parents.

Maybe you are dealing with inner demons right now, with depression, anxiety and crushed self-confidence.

But.

There is bad in good as there is good in bad.

What you feel today, is only for today. Don't carry it to tomorrow or to any other day.

Suffering is normal. Its normal to feel pain, that is what makes us Humans.

These vulnerabilities, these painful memories, everything.

They are what defines us as Humans.

Yes, its painful, yes, it's hard.

But its also an experience that we need to have.

In order to grow.

Not just physically, but mentally too.

Growth is followed with suffering and pain. But at the end of it all, you become someone better.

We might lose someone today but we will meet someone else tomorrow.

That is life.

Don't cling to the past. Don't trap yourselves to the event that had already happened.

Move Forward.

Strive to become better.

Become strong.

If you truly want to improve, to become a better person, you must first accept yourself for who and what you are today, and grow to become someone better for tomorrow.

And if you are having trouble…

Pray.

it doesn't matter when, where, or why.

Pray.

Pray for strength, for courage, for wisdom.

God will give you all that, and more. What you wish for, it might not be the same as what you wished for but the Lord will give it to you.

The man continued to perform cpr on the girl.

In his mind he desperately prayed for her.

For her to be okay. For her to survive.

He might've cursed, blamed himself but he still prayed.

He needed help.

Even though he had not believed in Him for years, he needed help.

So, he prayed.

God will give you everything that could build your character.

Even if it makes you suffer, even if it hurts you.

He will give it to you because He knows that you needed this for the future.

Everyone has purpose in this world. Everyone.

Maybe the suffering someone today would motivate the others to become better. Maybe the rich today will fall and experience the difficulties of life and climb up once more?

We never know. But everyone has purpose.

You just need to discover it.

When life is hard.

When life is very difficult.

If you fell that life is targeting you, tormenting you.

Making you suffer.

"Please lord."

If it's trying to beat you to your knees.

"Please, I pray for…"

Pray.

Pray for a miracle to happen.

Hands of light formed above his hands that were pushing her chest.

The man gasped and looked at the man that manifested in front of him.

The crown of thorns he wore felt dangerous yet majestic in him.

The man smiled and gave it the last push with the man that manifested with light.

"HAAAAAGH!"

The little girl breathed in deeply before coughing harshly.

The man stared at her, then gave her a hug as tears fell down from his face.

"Grandpa…."

"Thank God…. Thank you…. Thank you…."

And a miracle will come to you.

So be strong.

Be brave.

Be better.

Move forward, strive to become someone better.

The boy finally knew why he was born. Why he had to go through all of these pain, all these suffering. It was in preparation for this moment, just for this one moment. To save one life. The boy knew his purpose.

Years later, the girl became a great general that stopped the 49-year long war. She was hailed as the hero of the world, single handedly ended the long war with her amazing tactics and strategies.

Her name will be hailed as a hero for generations.

The Hero that stopped the world from getting destroyed due to the war that damaged the earth.

But suffering was still there. Pain was still there.

Nothing can change that.

We can do nothing but to be brave, to be better, and to move forward in hopes of a brighter future.

Fill your hearts with hope.

Everything will be okay.

You are not alone.

He is forever with you, so don't give up.

Let's meet again with a brighter future.
