At My Lowest
I learned a great deal when I was at my lowest point in life, especially about dependency on others. And at the same time, I also had grasped that despite everything that happened, we still had the opportunity and choice to otherwise forgive those who didn’t stay with us at such crucial times. Why? Because we forgive not for their sake, but for ours. It would be too much of a burden to keep holding grudges and letting go would be doing ourselves a huge favour to move on with life.
Sometimes there is nothing comes in between us and the challenges we’re facing except God Himself, because that’s exactly what the journey is all about. Elevation wouldn’t even take place otherwise, spiritually speaking. Everything else would have to be invisible or even disappear in total except for our absolute submission and reliance upon the Creator of the Universe. Like, when the hopes all gone and we were left with nothing but a tiny little thread called faith, which turned out to be the entire secret ingredient we’ve mistakenly sought elsewhere.
The tiny little thread that would save us from despair and destruction altogether is right there within ourselves, which we only came to notice after everything else was taken away from us by storm. That’s the point of this whole turmoil and thunder and chaos and turbulence and you-name-it freaking series of tests all about : we are fulfilling the prophecy of the long since dried ink of the written fate. So that we embark upon the definite direction, towards the real deal and not away from it.
So that we put our trust in Him and Him alone, for we are drowning and failing and tumbling down ever so miserably otherwise. Brokenness is the only way to strengthen our hearts, if I may rephrase in a nutshell. We are all broken in our own ways, somehow or rather. Fear not, for God’s factory never ceases to operate miracles.
The rest is mere breeze or dust or nothingness. For everything comes and returns to Him anyways. So don’t be sad, God is never far from us, the broken hearted. In Him we trust and on life goes, always.
