a little gurl... once grew up feeling tt emptyness iunimportant things of thwnside... pursuing things that cldnt satisfy her.. tt made her run after it again and again, trying to find satisfaction in her life... she was always looking.... forever.. in search of something to satisfy tt emptiness in her....
things changed when she grew to know God.. when something happened in her family, that she was introduced to the idea of church... and that faithful day, when she gave her life to Christ, the amt of tears flowed.. the expectancy felt... though she felt that she wasnt growing enuff.. though the world pulled her down, she always knew when to get up again and run tt race...
wat started as a stroll turned to brisk walk... and she started overtaking ppl along the way... juz like any runner who speeds up and leaves his/her competitors behind... yet they were unhappy that she was not one of the last.. and they pushed their way thru... she felt tired.. tt such a race wld be so difficult... so full of pain and torture... tt she decided to take a rest... though she wanted veri much to go on, she stopped..
as the little gurl sits down... she realises tt all she wanted to do was not only to get fit, but to encourage her friends to take part in tt race wif her... yet.. she ignored the help along the race, where other runners stretched out a hand, wanting to pull her along, as they had pulled each other along tt track... she relied so much on her own strength, tt when it wore out.. she was left wif little motivation to move on... to go closer to the finishing line...
so often, we rely on ourselves unintentionally to try and do wat we think is God's will for us, so much so tt it becomes a burden, rather than a passion, tt it puts the fire in us onto a candle stick... and when all the wax has melted... we cant carry on wif life coz the fire's out...
i remember a time when i was reminded tt as a child silently cries out in his/her little room, God hears.. and wants tt child to start depending on Him as all the while he/she had been depending on him/herself... God knocks in our hearts at times of trouble and its time we started depending totally on Him...
