To have something to mull your head over not only means that you are still alive, but that you might be able to solve them by the way you think. What I mean is that there are possibilities for you. Additionally, I think that it is a way for you to ascertain how far you can endure these rough seas of fate or trials from God. Looking back on myself, I experienced a spiritual awakening
in my twenties, but the troubles in my actual daily life remained. In those days, I would get rid of a problem, only to have new ones pop up. Even when I left my job and started this religion, I had one worry after another about running the organization. There was a constant stream of worries, from people problems to administrative ones. When I had surmounted one, the next wave would hit me. It felt as though as soon as I had got over one issue, the next wave would then arrive. However, the important thing when you’re swimming in
the sea is not to mistake which way the shore is. Big waves will come but you will not find help if you head out to sea. If you swim towards shore though, you will surely break free from the big waves eventually. You have a choice of two directions, but this is the one choice that you must not get wrong. The decision on whether to head out to sea or whether to
head for the shore as you are buffeted by the waves is in fact, for all of you, based on the perspective of faith; it is a choice to go in the right direction or in one that should not be taken. It is a decision that should be made based on faith. If it is a direction that, based on your faith, you think is “right,”
then you must keep swimming in that direction even when the big waves come, but if you think this direction is not consistent with your faith, then it is the wrong direction and you must backtrack. It is very simple, but it is something that you have to remember. You must not lead a life that is simply at the mercy of the waves.
