Life and lemons

Do you know that lemons are fortified with nutrients and very good for the health? Despite its sourly taste, it’s used for culinary and non-culinary purposes and makes your food healthy. It’s also an excellent cleanser and hydrant.

Life is almost like a lemon, often with an unpleasant taste but it’s these trials and hardships that fortify us. They make victory sweeter and small blessings and answered prayers, bigger than life.

Like the beneficial juice we get from this citrus fruit, may we learn to extract the good from the bad of this life too, the lessons learned from our mistakes (not to justify them but to never make them again), the blessings of rising above the trials, the discovery of our own resiliency, the realization of how BIG our God is that He can turn things around for us if HE wills.

So when experiencing life difficulties think of this:

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” – Philippians 4: 6 -8

Be positive. When life gives you lemons, juice it.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
