Another step forward...

Life is full of miseries, difficulties, sadness, depression, happiness.......I believe all of us have come across glass ceilings which we were not able to break through. Every night, we lay in our beds crying...feeling hopeless that we could do nothing...
At times, we look down upon ourselves when we see others better than we are. Sometimes, we wonder why were we even born and have survived until today. We did not understand why we were loosing some of our friends, the ones we love, facing problems in our families, parents divorcing for instance...
We try as hard as we can to change our behaviour, character, our ways....to suit others. But we never seem to gain the trust of others as what we have hoped for. We tried to make others happy, but we ourselves were not. We hide behind our masks, pretending to be someone else whenever we were in front of others...Done so many things for others but was never noticed or appreciated.
Let me tell you that we are not facing all these on our own...we have "someone" whom we never knew was there, by our side, watching our every move. This "someone" is hurting more than what all of us are going through.
He was with you when you had no father/mother to run to...
He was with you when you were homeless...
He was with you when you lay in bed crying at night...
He was there when no one wanted to make friends with you...
He was there to listen to you, to hear your problems when no one wanted to...
He was with you when you are having exams...
He was with you when you had only a few minutes/seconds to live...
He gave you what you have now...
He gave up his ONLY son for you...
He gave his all.
"He" was God.
But what did we ever do to thank Him?? We never appreciated Him, we never thought of Him, we never bothered talking about Him, we never cared...All we thought about was ourselves.
This God I'm talking about is the one which gave you life. He gave you the opportunity to live wealthy, healthy, comfortably, safely...while others are suffering out there...
Do you think having money is all that?? You think you can buy anything with money, even LOVE? No. You are wrong...God created you and gave you all that...but He can take it all away if he wants to.
Why do some of us like to talk bad about others? What do you really want? Have you ever stopped to think what you are doing is affecting others? Well, i tell you. The more you do this the more you will loose your friends. By doing so, you are hurting God's feelings. God isn't pleased when you gossip, backstab others, tell lies and in the end pretend nothing ever happened.
You may look innocent outside, but you are evil inside. You think no one is watching or hearing you. You think your bestfriends wouldn't find out what you're up to...Well, tell you what, they might not know but God knows. You will fall when you face HIM. You will regret it.
You say you don't hate anyone and say you are a goodie goodie. But behind it all, you act differently. You never mean what you say...you never act on what you say. You advise others to do this, do that...but you yourself never did it. Do You still call yourself a Christian?
Don't worry, I'm not pointing fingers at anyone... :) I'm just expressing what i feel and have been observing since last year. I really want you guys to think over the things you have done...especially those you have hurt. Do you know that the words you think are harmless may actually hurt others feelings deeply.?
As Christians, you should learn to Love everyone...not only those you like but those you're enemies with. If you don't like he/she for her character...help them. Don't start talking bad about them to others. Do you know that the person you are telling to may spread the word and soon your enemy might find out about it and a quarrell begins.?
I just want to say that many of us, especially Christians are not doing what we are suppose to. Every action, word we do or say counts. We as Christians have to set our minds right and do what God wants. We should not disappoint Him because He has done so much for us. We have witnessed His miracles...now it's our turn to thank him in return.
Start changing our ways now while we still have time. Take notice of Him often...talk to Him...pray...He wants to hear from you...do not keep Him away in your drawer...Bring His prescence everywhere you go...Talk to Him first before telling others about how you feel...
I am not perfect too. I'm still in the process of correcting my actions, looking back to what i have done...and trying to make it right. I hope you guys will join me in this walk of faith where God is taking us. We together should stand strong and never fall back...Let's take another step forward...
Yours truly, Eilene. :)
