Just A Bend, Contributed by @Olawalium
When all you see is an end
God is telling you it is just a bend
Because to you, He will give a field to tend
Your life will be in sync and in perfect blend
God will show up and all earthly blessing to you He will send
So that you can be a blessing and more people you can fend
And many more mouths you can give to and lend
By this so many broken hearts, He will use you to mend
When life’s challenges come, know that it won’t last forever. It is just a blip and it will soon pass. Tough moments don't last, tough people do. Don’t pray for lighter burden, pray for more strength because troubles will come in without knocking sometimes, and you need to match it with inner strength.
Whatever you are going through, just know it is not a stop. It might stop you temporarily, but it can stop you longer only if you allow it. A shift in perspective is key because we need to learn to see the good in every situation, only then are we going to respond to challenges rather than react to them.
We often linger in situations longer than expected because we see the situation in a different light. When situations happen, we should know, no matter how hard it seems, it is not as hard as it seems.
Once we approach a problem with the mindset that it is temporal, they usually turn out to be it. It won’t end up weighing us down because our approach to it is different. In all honesty, it is not as easy as it sounds, but it takes conscious effort to see problems as just a blip that will soon pass away.
Do everything within your power to deal with it, but try not to get too worked up about it. It hurts when a challenging situation comes and you feel boxed to the corner with no hope in sight. Always remember, life is never without challenges and everyone has them but the ability to stay strong, and in spite of it gives us the edge and builds up our character.
When you compare your challenge to the one your next door neighbour is going through, you will understand better that, we all have challenges but we need to view it differently because only with better perspective can we determine how long we are going to spend nursing the issue.
Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, we live and learn and when we encounter any roadblock on the way, just know that it is just for a while. Speed bumps are to caution us when we are at full throttle, life challenges are to caution us to think differently, and to see different.
What you are going through is just a bend, it is not the end. Rise above it.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn’t bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

A motivational poem..... Let the weak say I'm strong: why this is nothing but an approach, a perspective in letting down our burdens. The burdens we have are not to control us but we have to control them as this is the best form to a healthier life
I got this from this post again today that our challenges in life are in faces so why do I need to burder myself anymore releasing all to HIM is the best now.
I am so happy to hear this. Yes, we are in different phases and seasons of our lives, so we need to know troubles won't last always. They linger longer only if we permit them and that is why a shift in approach is needed in achieving our happiness. It is just a bend, not an end. It ia not as terrible as it looks.
Thanks a lot brother.
This is beautiful...
In problems, keep seeing solutions and it won't be long before you have it. If you are a problem centered, you end up staying longer in problems than expected.
What you don't want, you don't watch it growing.
Absolutely, don't watch it grow, cut it off!.
That's just it, cut it off before it grow bigger.
Problems are not the problem, how we handle them is the real problem.
Thanks @olawalium for this wisdom...
Staying positive no matter what is the perfect solution to all situations, it is not easy on most times, but it remain the best option to overcome the challenges of life.
Situations can only bend you to form a new shape suitable for the goals ahead, they should not break you and prevent you from becoming your dream.
Thank you once more @olawalium and @communitycoin
Absolutely brother. Situations should not break us, but bend us to reach our desired goal. We need to be bent as no success is without a price.
Yes, it is not always easy but that is the only way to go and grow.
Thanks as always brother.
Thank you too, stay awesome
This is very inspiring poem, it is meant to be song brother, something will really need to bend when the going seems not to be palatable, I believe, there is always a reason for something to happen whether good or bad, and we never know what God has in plan for us, we always think base on our understanding as humans being who always yearn for more success. When it seems we are reached the wall or we seems to be static in one place, bending might be the only solution. Praying for strength to withstand whatever challenges life might posses should be our watchword rather than asking for God to lighting our burden. Every road block always pave way for now ground once we believe and stay strong in Christ; the author and finisher of our faith.
Hahahahaa then i would need a good singer to find the right tune for it so we can make something good out of it. @olumideolowoyeye comes to mind.
Thanks a lot for your wonderful contributions as always. Duly appreciated.
Yes, I think he is capable of doing that.
Well, he's not a singer according to him (though, he sings more than I do)...lol
But he writes songs pretty well... Smile
Our problems are not as big as we thought, but they become bigger because we magnifies them, their is always a light after the tunnel, that should be our thinking no matter what we are passing through.
Hahahahahaha.
Yes, they are bigger because we have given them the right to be. We magnify them unnecessarily. They are not as terrible as we thought. There is no problem without a solution.
Thanks a lot brotherly.
That simplify it, every problems walk along with their solutions.
And all of these things, good and bad, bring glory to God, can help us know Him more, can bring us to our knees, can take us sailing to heights we’ve never known before. The human existence is a roller coaster of fear, doubt, happiness, pain, fun, beauty, anger, grace, mercy, anguish, and brokenness. God gives wonderful moments. But, this life isn’t always wonderful.
Learn to be okay with that. Learn that God does what He does for reasons you can’t always see or understand. Learn to believe that God is good, even when the un-wonderful of life creeps in.
This life is only one stitch in the infinite and intricate fabric of eternity. There is so much wonderful waiting for us in that forever. Until then, God loves you, and He has a plan for your life. Whatever it is, don’t lose faith when wonderful seems miles away. Even when the circumstances of life aren’t wonderful, our God still
Wow! This is a great wow!. Thanks a lot for this. This is nicely thought out and i totally enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for this. God bless your heart.
This is a complete sermon, God bless you sir...
Seeing God in our passing through would help us to unburdened ourselves from the burden of problems we have having, no matter the situation, always remember that their is a God who cares about you.

A great motivational poem. I really love it.
Life is not fun and fair all the time. Sometimes it can be hard and even it can be worse, but at the end of every darkness, there is morning.
There are many things happening around me recently and at times when I think about it, I feel like quitting or speeding it up. But that's life, another time is coming when I would forget all the pain I have passed through.
This is one of the things that keep me going sometimes. There are so many people who you are still better than. So when you are going through a challenge, remember that someone is going through a hell than you do.
Thank you for sharing @communitycoin and @olawalium
Yes, remember someone else is also going through a whole lot than you. Not giving up is key because a single moment of happiness is enough to erase past years of hurt and pains.
It is just a bend after all.
Thanks a lot brother. Love your contribution.
Their is always someone somewhere who's prayer is to be like us.
Absolutely. Life is in stages and phases and we are all at different seasons of our lives.
That's just it....
I'm sure you are stronger than to be broken by ugly situations, your passing through is just a phase of life, another phase is coming, so get yourself ready.
Their is always something to learn in whatever we are passing through, learn your lesson and become the better version of yourself.
Stay awesome bro.
