I'll sing to you Lorda hymn of lovefor your faithfulness to meIm carried in everlasting armsyou never let me gothrough it allI was speaking to a friend few days back. Our conversation reminded me that this world is warped and it has shaped many of us into defensive people. We dare not open up ourselves, we dare not trust, we dare not be ourselves; because we have learnt, and we have grown from past experiences. In the midst of all these 'dare nots', perhaps most of us have forgotten who we truly are meant to be. We may look very strong and independent on the surface, but are we really like that deep inside? Personally, i believe everyone has their times of weaknesses, weariness and fear. God didnt create us to be perfect. Neither did He create us to be iron men/women or to be lone rangers. We CAN actually afford to make mistakes, to be less independent. Because His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses (2 Corinthians 12:9). Arent you tired of all the ladened burdens you have carried on your shoulders all this while?
Most of us are also afraid of facing our hurts. We hide these hurts in the deepest, darkest part of us. We do not dare to confront them. Because it is so sore and tender, the slightest poke stirs up groans of pain. But this wound is inflamed. It needs to be treated lest complications occur. God is our healer. Be it through divine means or through His unthinkable ways, God always has a way to heal. And believe me, He is undisputedly the best doctor in town. It is only a question of whether we are willing to accept His treatment.
No doubt we all face heartaches and disappointments as we level through different phases. I am thankful that through it all, His mighty hands will never let me go. Are you willing to sum up the courage to be who you are meant to be? Will you take His outreached hands?
And He is good. He has led me to the answer i thought i will never find out. Thankyou. (:
