DROUGHT came...There will be no water for decades...
In life, we encounter disappointments that can crash our esteem and ego if we allow it. These problems are huge burdens that limit us from enjoying life. Our focus will be consumed by it. And we forget living and savoring life's beauty because it is obscured by our present adversaries. What if time will come where God will push you to your limits... taking everything from you, leaving only endurance and faith on Him... what will you do? Will you sulk or banish? Will you resort on bargaining Him or blaming Him? Will you let your life witter?
These moments are the ones I call "dead end"... A position where you have nowhere to go. It is like being bounded on a wrecked haven or in a city in drought. And being in this situation somewhat falters us.
What is paramount in my life this day is learning how to hear God's answers.. when the gift of drought is given to us, we should accept it delightfully. We should thank Him for giving us these pain... these nothingness... Seeing it in a bigger picture, I realized that emptiness is God's gift to let us have more:
1) Nothingness is like God giving us a clean page. He wants us to think again, re-plan our life and have a fresh start where you can track your journey more clearly.
2) Nothingness is like God giving us 25 hours a day. He is giving us an opportunity to pause and reflect. He is handing a huge time for us to know ourselves more, know life and know Him better.
3) Nothingness is like God giving us a luxury space. God is giving us more time to be with Him. Just like having a comfortable space beside Him. We will move closer to Him and have more time to be with Him.
4) Nothingness is like God giving us a trampoline. Being left with nothing, we have no other choice but to plan our direction up. His guidance in planning our lives is like a trampoline that shoot us up really high.
5) Nothingness is like giving us a new chance. So what will we do with this new chance He bestowed?? Will we waste it??
Friends, I could have been sulking now. Yes, today is one of my bitter days... I am confined in the city of drought... But with strong faith in God, I know my perception about life will let me survive. I'll let God's words quench my thirst.... And I'll let my faith see the whole ugly picture as a clean canvass where I can draw a better masterpiece of my life.
This ugly scenario is God's gift of a fresh start directed to a wonderful haven.
A fresh start
