Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years 7 months and two days, but when her beloved husband Albert died aged forty two years.The Queen found it very hard to comes terms with , and so for many years she withdrew from any activities ,and spent a great deal of time in her residence on the Isle of Wight in Osborne House.It was such a long time neglecting her public duties,that there was great discontent among the population, and the longer it went on the greater it became.In the end she was made to realise that she had to move on,and so she took up her public duties again, and so she regained the publics loyalty,love and affection. The apostle Paul wrote,' But one thing I do; forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead. (Philippians 3 v 13)There are so many things in life that can effect us,the result is we give up,and we become trapped,I hope I an not making light of the trials that anybody is going through,I have had my share,and the only way out is to go forward. But you say how?,the answer is ,by God's grace, remember the way is always forward,let us also remember the trials that our dear Saviour endured,and He says follow Me, it is time to move on.
'He who would valiant be gainst all disaster,
Let him in constancy, follow the Master.
There's no discouragement, shall make him once relent,
His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim.'
Words John Bunyan.
