The Bridgeنموونە

Your future deserves the wait. Your future is worth the pain because tomorrow will bring you gain. Life ends when you close your eyes and you can no longer imagine anything else. May the hope of a better tomorrow be your companion as you follow. 

Tomorrow will come—not for everyone alike—but that’s okay because each bridge leads everyone to a different life. No one crosses the same bridge. 

Waiting can lead to desperation, but it’s in the waiting that we acquire all that we need to cross the bridge. The path is long and will take time. Enjoy each step on the way, no matter how near or far destiny awaits. Perhaps one day, when we celebrate the end, we may realize that the steps that led us there were just as important as the end itself. 

The truth is, we are never alone. I’m convinced that our Creator is always with us. We may not always feel Him in the moment, but when we look back, we can see His hand on us and for us. That is when we realize that we have never been alone. You may be familiar with the famous poem, “Footprints in the Sand,” which recounts a dream in which a person saw two sets of footprints—one set representing his own and the other footprints left by Jesus. The dreamer noticed that, at one point, the two sets of footprints became one set, and expressed frustration that the Lord had left him alone at a difficult time in his life. The Lord explained to the dreamer that, in fact, those were the times in which He had carried the dreamer in His arms. 

When you feel you have lost your way on the path of life, and you are trapped inside the labyrinth, look up. The stars can also be your guiding lights. No matter how tangible the dark becomes, there will always be light above: the sun, the moon, or the stars, and behind them, you will find that God is leading you on. 

In my life, there have been many moments of pain—moments I thought I had reached the end. However, when I look back, I realize that what I once thought was the end was simply God leading me to a new beginning.
