I Take off the MASK!

If I were always strong in my life’s journey, how could I understand those who experience times of weakness? If I never tire, would I ever have sympathy for those who faint?

It is because I knew how to be thirsty that I wish to give a drink to those who thirst. It is because I knew how to stumble that I desire to lend a hand to those who fall.

Not every misfortune is a defeat, for many our blessings in disguise. When we are weak, could it be that we are being made strong? When we hunger, could it be that we are truly being filled?

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

There can be no greater joy than knowing you are loved. That someone is constantly thinking of you, waiting for you, seeking you. That someone becomes so happy whenever he sees you or hears your voice. Do you have that someone? Do you have that joy? What if you realize God Himself would rejoice over you and delight in you in such a way that no other man could equal the intensity of His love?

“The Lord will take delight in you, and in his love he will give you new life. He will sing and be joyful over you…” – Zephaniah 3:17

There is something that only you can offer the world. You don’t have to be extra strong or famous or rich. You don’t have to be the most talented singer or dancer. You just have to be you because you are somebody God has wonderfully meant you to be, somebody wonderful and unique. Nobody else has your smile, your eyes or your touch. Nobody has exactly the same voice or whisper. Nobody has exactly the same heart. Only you can love the way that you can love.

“Never, in all of the seventy billion humans who have walked this planet since the beginning of time has there been anyone exactly like you. Never, until the end of time, will there be another such as you. You have shown no knowledge or appreciation of your uniqueness. Yet, you are the rarest thing in the world.” – Og Mandino

Me and YOU

I am so small,
and You’re so BIG,
how can I ever love YOU
the way You love me?
Sometimes I hate myself
for just being me,
yet how wrong am I
to think that way.
For I am me
because of You,
and You gave up part of You,
so I can be me.
Please help me Lord,
to live with gladness;
Knowing that I am me,
and believing that each moment,
I shall be more of You!

The Butterfly Effect

Relationships are fragile. It is far easier to protect it and to take care of it rather than to mend it when it is already broken into a million shattered parts.

Must we spend our precious time trying to gather the broken pieces? Or should we rather spend our moments checking our tongues, saying words of encouragement, holding the hands of the people who truly matter to us?

“The greatest gift we can give one another is rapt attention to one another’s existence.” – Sue Atchley Ebaugh
