[ 662. Hope ]
Exactly a week more to the end of my 18th year on earth. A dozen and a lil more days to the end of the sixth year with God. That's bad, or good, i wouldn't know. These 18 years have not been good. Physically embedded in a good family, emotionally so empty. Found God, lost him, regained him, embraced him, disappointed him, stayed away from him. The first few years of life with God was truly a taste of heaven: the innocence, the purity, that childlike faith. After that when setbacks start setting in, when reality eats you, when the world catches up and overwhelms you. You feel like crying. And some people tell you its ok to cry. Others say its a sissy thing. You decide to put on the brave front, the "i'm ok, you're ok" front. You put on the facade where people think you got it all together, but in fact you know deep within yourself you haven't. You have results, you have friends, you have charisma, you have family, you have confidence. But not self-esteem. But not love. Love from others. Love from above. Not that freely He doesn't give, but rather, freely we do not take. We don't dare to. We don't think we deserved. But well, the more fearful we are to receive the love, we further we run. Run into the hands of sin. Evil. Self-denial. Denying our status in God. Even today i wonder how do people keep the faith and run. Just simply keep on running, and let God be the wind beneath our wings. In fact, he gave us the wings. So we may soar, so we can choose to rise or descend. No longer a matter of fact, but a matter of choice. People fear flying. Flying into the unknown heights of the skies. Into the unexplored territories of God. Into the unpredicted discoveries he has in place for us.
I'm one of them.
