Life... is all about moving on in God's grace and love
What do people do when they are hurt or depressed? It always seem like these people will never come out from this situation. Even if they get over it, it leaves a deep scar that never heals properly. For me, I always find enough grace to move on from the situation and though there's a scar, it just serve as a reminder that God is faithful. I'm not sure if it applies for everybody. For me, I must give thanks to God. I am very privileged to have a God who is forgiving and loving and faithful. Because of what He had done in my life and how He had treated me, I know He is in control of everything. Emotions are something I believe that the Lord has blessed us with. We are beings with freedom to exercise our feelings. We can be happy, we can be sad, we can be angry, we can be quiet..... There's nothing wrong even if our feelings are negative. It's only wrong if we bring it to the extreme. It is wrong if our sadness becomes bitterness, if our anger becomes hatred.... These are not from God. Basically, where is God when we are expressing our emotions? In our happiness, is God our source of happiness. In our sadness, do we turn to God for comfort and help. In our anger, do we turn to God to look upon His grace and love? In my best conscious effort, when i'm in any emotions, I try to bring God in. One thing I feel the Lord has blessed me with is the ability to move on from set-backs or hurts. This is not becoz I'm a gracious or forgiving person but becoz I know God is gracious and loving. Recently, certain thing had happened and it really brought me closer to God. As we read Psalm, you will find that there are many songs written by David when he is in situations of difficulties. His songs are cry out to God and also there are songs that glorified God for his deliverance. And somehow like David, I had this experience. A tune started to form in my head as I look to Him for counsel. And I really feel so much for this song not becoz I compose it but God has given this song not just to me but us. I hope I can share this song soon, after the whole situation has been closed. To God be the glory, for the things He has done! Amen!
