Day 1 (April 5 2027.)

Judas.

Children, often times they ought to irritate us, especially when we wish to be in peace. And as a result, we ought to get angry at the kids. Though in the end of the day, we shouldn't blame them, because of course, they are children.

A talk with Sam, my only Senior High School friend; also a fellow brother in Christ.

"Hey Judas, you have siblings right?" said Sam.

Yeah, 3 little brothers, they often argue.
And you can't really blame if them they're still young and naive.

"Is that so?" Said Sam, with an optimistic look in his eyes.

Yeah. Why?

"If so then you should teach them how to take care of themselves. You're the grown one here."

"Sooner or later you will lose each other, and will have much more weight on your shoulders."

I pondered for a while before responding. It's as if I worried about my brothers for a moment.

And how do I do such a thing?

"Love. Love one another as He has loved you."

"And hopefully you teach those young ones, it's better to prepare them for their future than to let them be."

As he spoke those words I was left confused, with 'Love'.

I'll look into it.

Although it feels burdensome. Because surely I'm the one who's naive over here.

"How come?"

Not quite sure.

"Tell me if something is troubling you. But remain rejoicing in your pain, and just trust the Lord. Isn't that what you often say to broken people?"

Yeah.

"Plus, you'll be in good hands, Psalms 7 tells us to take refuge in the Lord."

Just trust in the Lord and His will and I will remain in good hands.

"You get the idea after all." He said gleefully.

We'll see.

Hey Sam.

"Yeah?"

It's like I'm proud, I often think proud thoughts not acknowledging my lack of wisdom.

"Don't dwell on those thoughts. Just focus on love, Haven't you heard? For God is Love and True Love is God's Love."

Right.

He sighed.

"Right."

Thank you, a lot. This will help me, and probably even my brothers.

"Sure hope it does. Remember, if you can endure it, endure it. Now go win."
