When challenges, he meets resolutely;
Defying it and hitting hard with force;
with prudent action, that is done timely.
Who cares about destiny's monstrous face,
If man can take refuge in God's Love-shield?
Why worry of Destiny's losing case,
When God gives grace and much wisdom to field.
You must refuse defeat in many things;
Just labour hard towards success by heart;
Yet, patiently take whatever life brings;
The Creator will surely do his part.
No Destiny threatens a Lion-heart;
Nor earthly wealth to Heaven do we cart.
Dr John Celes
-A Shakespearian sonnet.
In my post before, you can see that my big question has to do with fate and destiny and how you shape it. I chose this sonnet, because, of course, it has to do with destiny. But it also challenges me. It's saying that I don't need to worry about the future and what it will bring because God already has a plan and he knows what is best for me. And basically, I need to focus on striving to be successful but I am already being led in the direction I am suppose to go so I need to sit back and enjoy the ride. In conclusion, I guess I don't really need my BIG QUESTION answered anymore, so I'll probably start thinking of a new one.
