Imagine you are on a boat that is rocking in the middle of a storm. Or that you are on the roller coaster with sharp bends on the tracks and steep downslopes. You feel so feeble, so vulnerable. You feel as if you may be flung overboard anytime. You want to cling on tightly to something. Anything. Just to keep yourself on board. Oh, the insecurity! How you long to cast it away!

There are probably times like that in life. When you feel so confused and messed up. Temptations, inferiority, self pity, crossroads...etc. Everything that comes at you all at once, making you feel at a loss. In these times, you just want to toss away everything and cling unto Him. Because you trust Him, you know He will sort out the chaos.

That was what i thought when i feel like im lost in the whirl of the tornados-- that im the one clinging on tightly to Him. But a small voice nudged me. The voice told me that in fact, He is the one who is holding on to me so very tightly. I dont realise it because i couldnt see the big picture. I can only see my hands clutching on to Him, so tightly my knuckles are turning white. Zooming out, i see it. I see that i am in His embrace. And it looks impossible for me to be flung out into the storm because He is so strong, and i am so sheltered in those protective arms. (:
