My heart feels like it is going to burst and jumped out of my chest. The pain is real and no one knows. My friends doesn't know, my family doesn't know. And so, I stood there smiling but enduring the pain inside. Can you feel it? This season is indeed intense for the most of us.
Things happened. Unexpected things happened out of nowhere, either it is good or bad. Lot of things happened. That made us compromise and hated things we once first loved.
These things happened. Who am I to blame?
My parents? My friends? My co-teachers? My students? Or my self?
This burden that is so heavy weights me down and keeps me from reaching out to others. So I didn't, I kept my it to myself and closed the door of my heart.
But, Someone knocked. I didn't reach out to Him, He reached out to me. He held me in His arms with warmth and love.
He whispered sweet words while I leaned my ears on His embrace. I put my whole weight to His and He replaced it with His love.
I do not need to blame someone or even myself. I just need to focus on Him. On His love, mercy, and faithfulness. People will disappoint me, but He will not.
This blaming game that our society started is not for me to conjoin. Because He taught me, no one will win.
"I came to You and lifted my life."
He smiled. I didn't. But my heart is.
"Lord, I am Yours. And You are mine. Help me to focus only to You."
He suddenly disappeared without a word.
"I heard your prayers."
That's the last thing that He said before He completely disappeared.
But I know, He is here. He is everywhere. He heard me. He is watching me. Now, I know He is teaching me the art of faith in this desert that is full of waiting and mundane moments with miracles.
"Descendants of Jacob, I, the LORD, created you and formed your nation. Israel, don't be afraid. I have rescued you. I have called you by name; now you belong to me. When you cross deep rivers, I will be with you, and you won't drown. When you walk through fire, you won't be burnt or scorched by the flames. I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, the God who saves you. I gave up Egypt, Ethiopia, and the region of Seba in exchange for you. To me, you are very dear, and I love you. That's why I gave up nations and people to rescue you." Isaiah 43:1-4
