My heart aches, looking at all the suffering many are going through.
Looking at news of disasters happening all around, from Australia to Brazil to India,
its just depressing.
Seeing my beloved bros and sisters in Christ going through their trials and stumbling in the midst of it, pains me too.
What can i do more, other than lending a listening ear and helping in what i can.
Its all i can do physically,
but is there more i can do to ease all the problems that their going through?
I'm not going to retreat into my own little shell, stupidly asking "why",
like how i used to.
Its just a plain waste of time, sulking and being all pessimistic over such situations.
We are going to need all the prayers for each other, for us to be a pillar of strength for each other, and to realise that we are the ones who will help bring them up whenever they fall.
I am going to try my best, at the same time relying on Him to grant me all the strength and wisdom that i will need, to help all around me who are not doing very well.
I really do pray for the wisdom and strength to be upon all, so that we may better see how all the stuff that we are going through are really challenges from Him.
I'm sad over all the happenings, but i take comfort in the fact that He allows me to help in my own little way, and not just sit back and turn a cold shoulder towards every damn thing happening.
"For i know the plans i have for you, declares the Lord,
plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope
and a future"
- Jeremiah 29:11
Amen.
