Don’t Miss Your Chance

A friend once sent me a text that said:

“Today a heavy rainstorm caught me by surprise when I was walking down the street.
Thank God I had my umbrella and raincoat. Except that they were both in my car, parked quite a distance away.
While I was running to get them I thought what a strange sign I was receiving from God – we always have the necessary resources to face the storms that life prepares for us, but most times these resources are locked away in the bottom of our heart and this makes us waste an enormous amount of time trying to find them.
And when we finally find them, we have already been defeated by adversity.”

So, let us always be prepared; otherwise we will miss our chance.
