The Arms that NEVER fail
I never thought I was someone very important in life that everything around me needs me to handle. I never deny the fact I am someone important too, that with me and my presence, it makes a difference. Well, many a time, I chose to believe I am there for a purpose and there’s a limit to what I can do and offer to help.
Yet in life, when you help TOO MUCH, people will think you are a BUSYBODY, or to keep it in a nicer form, they will take you for granted, since you LOVED to help. Helping people and being there as a support will always be my passion and love. I am a VERY PERSON-ORIENTED PERSON. I do not revolve around peoples’ emotions but I love to understand peoples’ emotions. In simple, if I can bring a smile unto someone’s face, I will gladly do it.
But being said all these, I know my capacity; my limit. As much as I wish to help the whole world, I know at this present moment I can’t. As much as I want to be there to listen to every situation, there are situations I know I can’t. I am a human being, learning and growing each and every day of my life too. Sadly to mention, people around me thinks I am more than a human with no limits and no bounds. I can do everything and anything. Don’t quote me this verse that says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” If you want, sure you can, but do you know that this verse, who Paul wrote, had a meaning behind it. If you read from Philippians 4:10 to 4:12, you will realize Paul said, “…he had learnt to be content in WHATEVER situation…”
Have you ever thought what these 9 words mean? Let me tell you, it simply means, through the time and situations of which God have had set in his life, as he walked to the last phrase of his time on earth. In simple, he had completed this race of which God had for him, so it means, he had experienced everything. He knows what it takes to feel anything and being able to say he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him.
I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me too. Yet I have to understand, how can I go through if I have never had a chance to experience it before? The word WHATEVER simply means WHATEVER. =] I just wish to tell people around, I am not perfect, though I am quite a perfectionist most of my time. I have my limits too.
Just yesterday, I experienced it AGAIN. I know it is a “sad” thing that have had happened, but I have my limit. I know I can’t help much. Someone even mentioned to me what a CG should be, and why am I not doing anything to help! It hurts me deep down. I was so disappointed that at that moment, I was wondering how come NO ONE understands. I cried behind my computer and decided to log off to seek the help of God. I prayed and cried to God, why, why!
I even asked God, have I had enough pain that I myself can’t go through, and never understand why it happens, how much more can I be a light to help? God didn’t answer me, He was just there to hear me and His presence overwhelmed me. I cried and I prayed over it, forgive the person who said that to me. But God is an amazing God, when I had my quiet time, I came across this verse:
FOR WHAT PROFIT IS IT TO A MAN IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD, AND IS HIMSELF DESTROYED OR LOST? LUKE 9:25 *NKJV
As you already know in this World today it is very easy to get caught up in our day to day life. We sometimes even seem to forget how short our human life is compared to our Eternal life! After all it is written;
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE TIME AND THEN VANISHES AWAY. JAMES 4:14
Didn’t this makes you think for a moment?
It did on me. I asked myself why did I help and instead of getting compliments, I got criticism for not helping one.
Then I heard the Spirit says “My Dear, it is okay to be a fool for me, when nobody understands, you know I do.” With that I told myself, that’s what I need. I cleaned my tears and thank God and head onto bed. =] Tomorrow is a better day! No no, the better time is NOW. As Children of God we have an even better life ahead of us! One with Our Savior Jesus Christ, and a life where;
GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM YOUR EYES; THERE SHALL BE NO MORE DEATH, NOR SORROW, NOR CRYING. THERE SHALL BE NO MORE PAIN, FOR THE FORME THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY. REVELATION 21:4
*a long post but is okay. I pinned down my feelings.*
love,
