More than words

This post is to make up for what i wanted to blog about but ended up too tired to do so on thursday night. Was highly inspired that night, but SL decided to kill my interest in blogging what i thought about.

The swing

That night we walked all the way to the Mac's near AJ. While some of us went to have supper, few of us went to the swing. The swing is indeed fun, yet full of meaning as i told myself.

Life is like a swing. At the start you have to put in your best efforts to set the swing in motion. It may be tough, but God sees it all. He judges how much efforts you put in and decides how high you will swing to. It may take some time, but eventually you will start swinging even if you don't realise it. God sees your efforts and will carry you higher! So just do your best and let Him do the rest.

You may not swing as high as you wanted though. God determines your altitude because He has a great plan for every one of us. So if you are disappointed by your own altitude for now, worry not because its part of what He wanted, and He will carry you to greater heights. Its only a matter of time that you will eventually see and experience what God has in store for you.

As you swing higher, you will probably fear and be scared. You fear falling off the swing and hurt yourself, and scared of what may happen to you. But it won't happen, just hold on to the swing tightly and you will not fall off it. In the same way, as you experience difficulties and obstacles, just hold on to God tight. He will gives you the security and courage you needed, and He will swing up higher together with you.

A little mistake you make may slow down or even stop your swing completely. But its ok! Just try again but make sure you give it your best shot too. God will still carry you higher in the same way, just hold on tight!

The star

That night, i observed only one star above us. YC said he saw more, but thats the only obvious one i can see.

Likewise, God is like the only star in the sky we can see and observe. Though you want to see many more stars (your desires), God is the only star you are sure that it is present. Those desires you seek may not be there, because they are just but a fallacy with no truth or existence. Only God is existent and we should put our minds on Him.

Sometimes clouds can hinder your sight of stars. Likewise, obstacles in your life make you think that God isn't there. Its not true! His presence is everywhere, just that you can't see Him, thats all. So take comfort in the fact that God is always there, shining brightly for us!
