I was deeply touched this morning by the story that was aired on Highveld. Two South African citizens were kidnapped 15 months ago and the family are desperately trying to raise the funds to have them released from their captors.
I am certainly not going to pronounce judgement on why authorities haven't resolved this situation as yet. My thoughts did turn to how easily we complain. Some of us may indeed be facing major life challenges, but little will compare to the crisis this family are experiencing. What makes it even harder to bare is the length of time that has passed.
We can get so easily distracted by little things that are usually so insignificant. Let us remember to thank God for the good things we do have in our lives. We should remember too that no matter what we are going through in life, there is almost always someone who is going through something worse, or even just someone that is going through the exact same trial we are facing.
Find your source of strength in God!
