Life goes on… memories remain of it like a speck of dust in the wind..
It’s a wonder, how when you’re in high school, grad school etc. we think we’ve become the people we will be for the rest of our lives. We imagine we have grown in every possible ways, or at least I thought like that. But God had different plans. Post school days, I had a roller coaster experience in life – many highs n lows but the one thing that came through steadily till now was God’s hand on my life.
I made so many mistakes, some small, some big – but just the same, all mistakes. I’ve had bad experiences, some of my own doing, some that hit me unexpectedly from no actions from me. And there have been times, when I wonder if I will ever forget it because each time I remember, I recall only the shame and disappointment and hurt. I can’t remember clearly the good things if anything that came before my lows of the past, but the bad parts – oh my goodness, I do remember.. But every time I remember, I hear a voice which I believe is God’s spirit in me, He reminds me that I have to remember it simply so that I will remember where I’ve come from to be at this point of life. Perhaps if I forgot the mistakes, I’d be prone to fall to the same again. Plus, to be honest, when I think of where I’ve been and the person I’m now, my heart swells up with gratitude to our Heavenly Father. Oh, thank You Jesus for Your abundant mercies.
I know I have made mistakes, but I know that if I am a better person today, it is simply because I know how far the Lord has brought me and I am forever thankful to the Lord for this.
I’m living for Him, that my life may be a reflection of the life He wants me to have, that I may be the person He has intended me to be, that I may use my talents for His glory alone. I am resting on Him and I know that as long as I am living with His spirit in me, trials and temptations may come but the Lord will hold me through it and I will overcome it by Him.
In Him alone, lies my hope and joy. Praise God, always!
