Just Keep Swimming

Do you ever feel that sometimes you were dropped into the ocean? You look around and there is nothing but miles and miles of water. You know that in order to survive you must start swimming to protect yourself from dangers that lie in the sea. At first, the swimming seems easy but after hours of swimming you are extremely tired and exhausted. You look around and there seems to be no hope, you feel like you have made no progress and it seems that you have a way to go before you reach the shore. You think I can't do this anymore and might perhaps feel that it may be easier to just sink than it is to swim. However this is the time you need to just keep swimming and give it everything you got. Yes, it is exhausting and at times may even be painful, but everything that you are feeling now will be worth it!  Not only will you have reached the shore but you will also discover that you were given strength to swim!

I know that at times in our life we will face trials and hardships,we feel like giving up but that is where faith comes in. What is faith? Hebrews 11:1 says, " Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." You may not be able to see the shore at the moment but keep the faith and just keep swimming!
