Suffering & Woes
Everyday I come to work with a light heart but usually ended up dragging my feets back home. What's the reason behind the tireness? More than often, piles of works on my desk plus unforeseen circumstances that drain me of of all my energy. Why do we have to conduct Alpha or even spend time trying to know God more? Reaching out is also not a easy task & people may not even appreciate it at all. Therefore, what's the purpose behind all this things we are doing now? Why why why????
Recalled a phase from Roman which goes something like this " Why is there suffering? Suffering produce Perservance, Perservance, character, hope and finally God". It sort of answer most of the questions that many people including me abt the reason behind suffering. When the going get tougher, it help us to improve on our perservance and in turn our characters are moulded along the way. At the same time, we developed HOPE which ultimately lead us closer to God as we know there is times where we cannot take it anymore but God is always there for us to lean on and our shelter in times of needs.
There will be times where God seem distant from us and that is where we have to learn to quiten our own hearts and listen to His small still voice. Have we read His words(Bible) daily or do things according to His will or our own wills? Often it is us who choose to close up our own hearts and keep God outside our worlds cos His way may not be the easiest way out (but definitely the Best way in the end).
Let us continue our journey in Faith and Hopes and not be defeated by the situations around us or be intimidated by people that seem so "big" to us. We are all 'Princes & Princesses" in God's eyes hence we shall hold our heads high up and rejoices every single days of our lives.
