Dumbbell

I was in the van this morning on the way to church when I began to pray for my cg =)

Asking God about my cg's direction, where are we now and what should we do. And I saw this picture of a dumbbell. The weight of the dumbbell is adjustable. A person who tries to lift the dumbbell for the first time will not straight away attempt a heavy weight. Instead, that person will attempt a weight he/she can manage first, then slowly increase the weight of the dumbbell as his/her strength increases.

After multiplication, I felt weights have been added onto W23. Because we could easily lift the 'lighter' weight now, so we need to attempt heavier weights. A new challenge.

It's like the Olympics. I watched the weightlifting competition and saw how they struggled to set a new record. The athletes were given 3 chances. So, not being able to lift it the 1st time round doesn't mean that you cannot lift it no matter how hard you try.

It applies to our lives as well. Don't be afraid of new challenges in your life. Instead, press on and persevere.
