Lost

Lost

Human beings are contradicting animals. We fought hard for what we want but in times when we attained what we want, we kind of come to a realization that, hey! That's not exactly what we want. Or we remain unhappy even thou we finally got what we wanted. Life is as such. In such situation or crisis we come back to ourselves and ask, what do I want? 

Or we grabbed and hang on so tightly to what we have achieved and die hard for it. It can be money, a relationship, or anything. But for one thing we truly have to understand. Everything in life is temporary, there will come a day we have to give it up. What I am referring to? People do die, things do pass away, what are the things that remain?

Likewise in the bible, king Solomon explained it very clearly about the temporal things in life. What come and go, the truth is nothing in life remains. There is always a internal self in us which is always longing for something. 

For me, I've found that longing, that calmness that gives peace to my heart. He is my Heavenly Father. And I anchor my life in Him. I have come to the point that nothing on earth truly belongs to me for eternal. Not money, not relationship nor family. One day they are all going to be taken away from me. But there's something which can never be taken away. He is there when I'm awake, He is there when I'm asleep, He is there when I'm alive, He is there when I'm dead. 

Doesn't misread me, I love my life, I love my family, I love my friends and I love my sweetheart whom God has brought into my life. I cherish them, and every single moment of being with them, I try to do my best. That is the best i can do in my part of loving them. But on the other hand, I understand one day, my parents will grow old, one day they will leave me. Even if I'm a mom, one day, I know I will leave my kids, this is an inevitable nature course. Rather than wishing that it will never come, I cling onto what is of eternal. He knows what's the best for all whom I love. 

I rest in faith on a daily affair, do my best, and surrender all my precious to Him. He manages for me, and I can rest assured. 

I'm thankful to You my Heavenly Father and I bless your name.

Thank you Dad

Plan for growth

We are planned for growth

God planned growth in our lives not failure. In times we might face setbacks and disappointment but we have to understand that it is always during tribulations that we come to understand ourselves better. It is during crisis, we are challenged of who and what are we really made of. 

As I studied the scriptures, the scripture always talks about how all things and our days have been written in God's book. He had already recorded every part of our life from the beginning to the end. God knows every disappointment, every loss and crisis we are facing.

When we go through a disappointment or a loss, a part of us may be in a lost of labyrinth, but there is always a part of us that encourages us to keep on going. More than often, our disappointment talks us out of that encouraging voice. It remind us that it is difficult and it is impossible. 

I want to encourage everyone who is reading this post to keep moving forward, because there is another chapter in front of you. The choice is, we have to be willing to walk into it. Sometimes we focus too long in trying to figure out why something didn't work out the way we wanted, why a relationship didn't last, or why we weren't given the position we worked so hard for. We may not understand everything we have been through. But when we keep pressing forward, not letting bitterness take root, we will come to a chapter in our future that will pull it all together, a chapter that's going to make sense.

When I was young, I used to love fixing jigsaw puzzle. Most of the time I will find a piece of puzzle that didn't look like it fit anywhere. After trying every way, I'll just put it aside knowing, it will come to a fix as I focus on other pieces. We realize that when the puzzle come closer to being finished that there will be a perfect place for that unfit piece.

So what is the problem earlier on? It's because all the other pieces weren't put together yet. And this is true for me and my life. I may have challenges and issues that I cannot comprehend. But Now I have convinced myself that in life, I don't need to know all things, or ask all the why to everything. You know something, life can be so much happier trusting God and stop asking so many why. 

Sometimes we will wonder, if God is so good, then why are lousy things happening? It doesn't seem to make sense in a way right? Well, we may not see it yet, but many times, it's the issue or challenge, heartbreak or disappointment that happened, which redirects us to the great things God has for us in our future.

I know and I know that God has just the right pieces to make my puzzle fit together. The puzzle may not make sense now, but I shouldn't be discourage, because I always know that another piece which is coming up is going to pull it all together. I can trust in a good God who design the puzzle of my life.
