life has its many pains, many struggles.
there are two types of struggles:
one would be the physical and the other the mental.
often times in our modern day life, obstacles faced are mental, and it is hard to break these obstacles. we get dragged down by circumstances, by standards set by others or by ourselves, and face many doubts of whether we're good enough.
but always remember that we hav God. He is our source of strength.
I recently had to hear many stories of people dying. First it came charlotte's teacher who's rather young, then the grandfathers of two of my classmates. i also heard stories of people suffering, like families facing the pain of seeing their loved ones sick. and it pains me to hear them. It reminds me that God gives, and he takes away too.
It reminded me of the Columbine incident, where gunmen went out to their own school on a killing spree. When i watched the video of Rachael and her life-giving sacrifice, i cried. When the gunman pointed that gun at her and asked her to deny Christ, she chose otherwise, and paid for it with her life. But her actions brought much awakening to people, and many of her frens got saved, jus because she said yes to Jesus, yes to his love. She gave her life, a life that many frens said was beautiful. God took it away, bt it was meant to be because so many people became children of His after that.
We look at things from one perspective, bt have we looked at it from the other side?
a personal msg to a special someone:
thanks for sharing with me your faults. It's great that you identified them and wanna change for Christ. Jesus loves you so much and jus rely on him for strength. there are so many people out there who can help you change. trust in Him and let him slowly mould you and change you. Dont get paranoid and start blaming yrself. I knw it is hard, bt you CAN do it! Keep trusting in Him and draw strength from Him, for he is our Daddy! you can call me or sms me anytime. I love you, i really do.
