HE ALMOST GAVE UP....(but he never did)

There are certain times in our lives when giving up and losing hope could be a better option.But when you really wanna give up ask yourself why you held on for so long.This is a true life story of a dear friend who had seen through the dark times and came out strong into the limelight.He is a young man with a promising future and a lovely family.He was preparing for his final year exams in one of the higher institution in Nigeria.Few months to his exam the tide of life suddenly changed,his girlfriend broke his heart by cheating on him with his best friend. He never knew his girlfriend and best friend were already backstabbing him,he was so devastated because he trusted them and he dearly loved the girl friend.While he was trying to hide his hurts he got a call from home that his father just gave up the ghost.He had so many questions to ask God but he wondered if he would really get an answer.Why would God take away his dad at a delicate moment of his life ,all these he kept on asking himself.He was mourning his dad and still feeling the heartbreak.Unknown to him that the worst was yet to happen.Few weeks later his mom died and this young man felt as if his whole life was crumbling.He cried out his heart as if the tears would bring back his parents.He wondered why such should be happening to him just few weeks to his final year examination.He was more bothered with how to survive with three matured siblings.The storm shook his faith but he stood back firm and strong.He was able to write his final year exams despite the hurts,pains,and loneliness in his heart.He came out with good grades beyond everyone's imagination.After his one year service NYSC, he came to the reality of life.All the promises of friends and families were just in vain.With so much struggles,he hoped for a miracle.He had a particular job he was praying to get.But,the good news was not forthcoming.His greatest surprise was seeing his colleagues getting the same job he had applied for.All he could do was to congratulate them.At a time in his life he felt frustrated,all hopes were dashed.An orphan with three siblings and yet the job was not forthcoming.Years rolled by and it was as if God never answers prayers.He was becoming weary and losing hope.Just when he was about giving up on the job,the long awaited good news came on a platter of gold.He never expected to get the job in a recession period.

He almost gave up but he never did!Are you at the peak of giving up? Think of how long you've held on,you really can't give up when your good news is around the corner.

DON'T GIVE UP!
