——————–
life just sucks sometimes. as though everything refuses to go your way, time slips through your fingers, and joy is hovering just out of your grasp. and i guess its true that sometimes (not always) you can’t really do much about it.
but then, everything goes back to normal. the shadow passes; the light shines through. if i’ve learnt anything from the past 2 weeks, it’s that often the problems seem much bigger (and yet much more flippant) than they actually are. and that life continues to move on after that. (well, i learnt that and the fact that communication is key).
i hope you remember that, and remember that there’ll always be people there for you.

what kind of God would love us so intensely, guard us so fiercely, forgive us so willingly and receive us so gladly. what kind of God would be willing to wait for us so patiently.
to pick up the broken pieces of our lives and put them back together, only to watch us destroy ourselves again and again, like little jars of clay throwing themselves to the ground and shattering into tiny shards.
to watch in sorrow as we turn away and pretend to know what’s best for us. to embrace us as we return in our time of need and then have to witness as we jump at the next opportunity to run from the safety of His arms and back into the dark.
to look at how immensely inadequate, imperfect and unworthy we are, and yet choose to use us. to use us in ways we cannot even understand, that we may never even truly comprehend the implications of.
to call us children.
only an infinite, amazing and perfect God. our God.
