Hoping to see the change in you!
Today, I had a chat with this boy called Eugene! We were merely just chatting when I think he lost his control and cried. He said that everything was not goin his way now..Everything.. He had never tasted the taste of failing and losing for the past years and now when he felt it, he can't take it! I was very suprise by him.. I do not know him very very well, he was just a schoolmate of mine! I think it is because of God that gave him the power to share so much with me!!
I don't know how I can tell him, cause I am not good in typing.. I can always help someone face to face or when we are on the phone.. It was kind of tough when I need to type out.. But I didn't stop, yet I tried my best and give it a shot!! I tried to tell him some so called "SENSES".. Though I don't think it was, yet a word of adivse! What more encouarging was he took up my courage and dealing that he won't scold bad words! I was pleased by him!! I hope he will not let me down! Eugene, I have faith in you that you will not let me down!
I told him and give him a word to read! These words had always touched me and reminded me that God is faithful and He is true.. He did everything for us.. He will never leave us alone since we want Him with us!
One night I dreamed a dream
I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes of my life.
For each scene,I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the foot prints in the sand and to my surprise
I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footsteps.
I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life.
this really bothered me and I questioned the Lord in dilemma.
"Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and guide me all the way, all my days. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I needed You most, You leave me."
He whsipered, "My precious child, my precious, precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never ever during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you."
This is a word of encouraging who felt that God is distant, when He is not! Many a time this is the word that comforts me, when i am lost and running away from God. A word that brings hope to the disappointed, encouragement to one that has lose the battle, medicine to cure the pain in the time! Again and again this had reminded me of the time when faith is needed to believe, trust is needed to put there. The hope that I have had was to always allow God to use me to His fullest and guide me whenever I need.
I hope this will not just encourage me but also many people who were around me, that life is more than what we are seeking, yet allowing God to work in us!! When we were down and dishearted, give God a chance to carry us, cause if not, we will never have the chance to be able to stand up again!
