A lot of "not-so-good" happenings occurred recently - quake, storm, flood, war, violent killings and a lot more. Different people in different places experienced misfortunes or better, say, challenges. I'm afraid that would do something about the predictions about 2012, which may be true or may not be, no one knows, only God. But through it all, we should know how to stand up again, be stronger, begin a new life and we should draw closer to God. We should know that in times like this, in the arms of our Father is the best and safest place to be in.
"Panatiliin lang pong nakahawak sa mga safety hand rails..." - lines that I usually hear when riding an LRT. Hand rails serve as a grip for the passengers so as they would not fall or tumble while the train is running. People who are not able to take a hold on those rails, would just try to keep their balance but there are times that no matter how hard you try to keep yourself balanced, you just can't do so, like what I sometimes experienced. Just like in life, you can't always stay focus only on yourself, we're responsible for each other, you just can't always go on by yourself, you need someone to hold on., we need someone to lean on to. As the saying says, "No man is an island." People need someone on their sides in order to feel that they are love, to give love, to share happiness with, to have someone to help you with the chores, to have someone whom you can have a duet with, someone who you can chat with and even the simplest, someone just to stay beside you even in the silence. But when you feel that you're all alone and the world has turned you down, there He is! He, who stays beside you for all the time, He, who is willing to help you in everything you do, He who has unconditional love for you, He who is willing to do everything for you and He who already risked His life just to save you, and He did and still does these without any conditions, without expecting nothing in return, it is because HE LOVES YOU, HE LOVES US! So with our situation now, we should not lose hope, He is there. Instead of wasting our time thinking and worrying if the world will really going to end in the year 2012, why don't just spend our time living life at its best? why don't just spend more time with your love ones? why don't just repent and turn back to God? and why don't deepen our love to God, just believe and hold on to Him. Worrying doesn't change anything, it only makes things worse. Don't you dare say that the things happening are punishments of God, you're absolutely mistaken! God is love and will not do anything that will hurt His people. He will not give us problems that we can't handle. Instead of finding someone to blame for all the things happening in your life, reflect, and bear in mind, you're the one who's responsible for what's going on with your life. In times like this, it's not good to be apart from God, instead, we should tighten our hold on Him and embrace Him the most. Everything has its reason. Everything, everyone changes. Unlike in mathematics, in life, there are no constants, only variables. You may experience happiness, joy, fun but you can also suffer, grief, and be saddened. All of those are essential in life. Just remember, He is there and He knows best.
Despite these heartbreaking occurrences in our world, remember the lyrics from a song, "God is watching us from a distance.." God is our refuge, God is our Savior. He is our Father, He is our Creator. No matter what happens, for sure and for always, He is there, have faith.
God bless everyone! :))
