it is in giving that we receive

U know how humans have the tendency to gravitate everything towards themselves? Everything becomes about me me me... I don't care about what others feel, as long as I feel good can already, because what's most important is that I feel good.

And it's true, we all are like that! We expect people to listen to us, we expect things to work around us, we wouldn't wanna be inconvenienced, we just wanna receive, receive, receive... we don't go out of our way to help someone anymore, we don't go out of the way to serve anymore, we don't go out of the way for God.

It becomes so natural that sometimes, the conversation u have with another becomes all about u and u just forget to care for that person... because it's all about u! everything becomes about u!! How selfish we can get sometimes.

I'm no exception, because I'm not perfect.

When things start to cloud and fall apart, u realise that HEY! how come i'm feeling so empty and why am i ending up complaining so much? that's cos for the longest time, it has been all about u.

Pray to the Lord, ask Him to fill u with love in ur heart again, pour out that love God put in u to someone else. Try making the conversation u have with the next person about that person, and u will realise it is in giving that u receive...

Amen!

Desperate Cry

My soul cries out desperately to You, O God

If I were a kite and You hold me by the thread
Why have You cut me away from You
And allowed me to fly freely, swayed by the wind, engulfed by the rain

If I were a toddler and You hold me by the hand
Why have You let go of me
And see me tumble and fall

My soul cried out desperately to You
Remembering the times I spent with You on that mountaintop
How close I was to seeing Your Glory
And now You seem so far, so far away

You heard my desperate cry
You couldn't bear to see me in pain anymore

You came back
And You picked me up from where I was
And held me back in Your loving arms


Thank You, Lord
