Fixing Things

Do you repair broken things? Is it better to prevent things from being broken so you don't have to fix it?

In the house, we accidentally break our glass, windows, vases, mirrors, gadgets and many more. We didnt mean to break it because it was just an accident and we have no intention to destroy it. When we have broken things, we find ways to fix it and sometimes spend money to return it to its original form. 

However, is it good to focus on prevention rather than the after-event solution? If we change our mindset and dwell on mechanisms to prevent breaking things then we dont have to fix anything. That is also how we live in Christ's presence, we build relationship and make it strong so that we may become resilient when faced with different challenges.

In the letter of Paul to the people of Ephesus during his captivity, he mentioned the key approach to handle our sufferings and the right mindset in doing so. In Ephesians 3:12-13 it says:

Paul reminded the Ephesians to not worry and focus on God's presence in our lives through faith in Him so we will have freedom and confidence. He emphasized not to be discouraged during sufferings because all of these things are for His honor and glory. God is always the guardian of our body, mind and soul.

Let us lift up to him all our burden for He will make it lighter! Amen!
