House of Cards

Sometimes, life is like building a house of cards. It is a slow and meticulous process. It requires patience. It requires persistence. The problem is that no matter what, things are going to fall. The cards will not stay in the right place. In life, sometimes things happen. They go wrong. Not only do they go wrong, but they seem to all go wrong at the same time. Layers of uncertainties flutter down like those thin cards. But the thing is, we have to keep building. Our lives do not end because of one disappointment or another. We must be persistent and patient, always looking to our end result, eternal glory. This does not come from our own work, but instead by the grace of God.
