Ever asked yourself this question?
You may find it stupid but I'm sure your answer is wrong..
I want you to sit back, relax, concentrate and think..
Now I'll ask you once again..
What makes coffee sweet??
Is it the sugar??
Technically, no.
Then what really makes coffee sweet??
It's actually the stirring that you do after adding the sugar
that makes the coffee sweet! hahah
Confused??
It just goes like this..
Just like in "LIFE"!
It's making do with what you have that makes your life worthwhile.
Life is simply like coffee. It can sometimes be sweet but oftentimes bitter. We can face problems and obstacles we think we can't solve. This makes our life bitter but experiencing this bitter times make you crave for sweetness more. When you think you can't stand the bitterness anymore, don't think it's the end! You should know that God will always make a way.. We all know that God doesn't want us to live a bitter life. He always provides with sugar. But sugar alone can't make the coffee sweet! It needs stirring. It's up to us to stir it.
We need to make use of what God has given us. God's graces are practically useless if there is no factor of effort added.
This explains the ever famous tagalog quote "Nasa Diyos ang awa, nasa Tao ang gawa!".
We can't expect God to do all the things! We can't expect him to do the stirring. It's our responsibility. We need to do our part.
When you're in trouble always remember that God will always provide sugar. Don't even think of throwing the coffee mug away because doing that means you have surrendered! Running away from your problems doesn't solve it!! It just makes it worse.
So, if ever you drink another cup of aromatic, sweet coffee..
Always remember what makes it sweet!!!
