Lean On Him

Yesterday, I looked into the mirror and saw someone looking back at me. A pained pair of eyes which, I later realized, was actually mine. In that split second when I stared at myself and didn’t see me, I stopped awhile, immobilized and a little distraught at this confusion.

Sometimes, life can be a little tough on us. There are times when we feel like jumping out into the void where there’s nothing that could bother us, nothing that could hurt us.

But times like these are inevitable. And whether or not we like it, times like these are actually what makes life, LIFE. We can’t very well know what good is if we haven’t known how bad feels like. The latter helps substantiate the former.

So yesterday, as I was looking into that mirror and realized that..well..life’s been kinda tough lately, I tried not to be drugged by the pain as I silently uttered a simple prayer - “Please. Hold me close.” And I felt it…He gathered me into His embrace and let me cry on His shoulders.

As far as I know, that’s what I’ve been striving hard to do since yesterday. So far, He hasn’t let me down. And…well, not that there’s a need for me to say it…I believe He never will.

Whenever we feel like our heart is being gripped so hard by someone, I think we shouldn’t ask that someone to let loose. We should, instead, just ask God to make us strong…and even stronger just in case that someone grips our heart harder.

Same is true with every other quest of fate. If trials are being bombarded our way, let us refuse to beg for less trials. Let us instead ask God to guide us through if He plans on giving us more.
