LEARN FROM THE MATTIE STEPHANEK!
( JOB 2:10; 1 THESSALONIANS 5:15-24).
How do you see life in this new month of May? Take a look at the innocent lines below from a 13 year-old boy, Mattie Stephanek:
“I want people to know that in every life, there are storms. But we just remember to pray after every storm and to celebrate the gift of life as we have it, or else life becomes a task, rather than a gift. We must always listen to the song in our hearts and share the song with others.” This boy, Mattie Stephanek, had a rare form of the disease called Muscular Dystrophy which means his breathing, heart rate, body temperation, oxygenation, digestion, etc, were not automatic!
In his own case, HE USED EXTRA OXYGEN ALL THE TIME and when tired or sleeping he used a ventilator that breathed for him, saved energy and moved his medical equipments around. In the midst of all these, Mattie Stephanek saw life as a gift! Even when he had the opportunity of chatting on the phone with former U.S President, Jimmy Carter from his hospital bed, his focus was on problems in Bosnia and Africa, not his health condition. If you and I had such an opportunity, well your guess is as good as mine.
In 2017, if we can take each day as a gift, then the storm will not weigh us down. If we can make each day as a gift, then we will be grateful and contented with what we have and where we are today. If we can take each day as a gift, our lives will be devoid of murmuring and complaining. Read more from Mattie: “Every journey begins with a small step and every day is a chance for a new small step in the right direction. Just follow your heart’s song.
What is your heart’s song? Learn from Mattie! Refuse to give up now! Your EVIDENCE will show up very soon! Because of you, men shall shout aloud: “There Is God! There is God!! Ah, there is God!!!” Pray now!
