So Many Troubled Hearts

Lately I realise there are so many troubled hearts, most of them are my friends. Unfortunately, there's nothing much for me to do except lending my ears and pray for them. And just today, I've got something I must really consider...

Well... each of us are on our journey...
There are problems to solve
There are decissions to make
There are questions waiting to be answered (as soon as possible, as our wish)

It's just a normal part of our life...
And it's definitely not the perfect time to give up

"For him who is joined to all the living there is hope; a living dog is better than a dead lion." (Ecclesiastes 9:4)
"Tetapi siapa yang termasuk orang hidup mempunyai harapan, karena anjing yang hidup lebih baik dari pada singa yang mati." (Pengkotbah 9:4)

I got that verse a few days before... and it's true...

We just have to remember that we live in a fallen world... there are many injustices and mistakes (not to mention misunderstanding, wrongly accused, unrealistic expectations, imaginary assumptions, and ego) -either intentionally or not- and we have to learn dealing with those things...

It's easier to be said than done, right...
But we still have to face it anyway...

I also picked this from my own experience... We can't take other's opinion or other's judgement as an absolute truth, as a matter of fact, opinion is relative. The absolute truth is His opinion or His judgement only. He is The God, not us, neither other people. That's why a suggestion is written in the bible, that we should examine carefully and verify each things according to His way.

"Let all things be tested; keep to what is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
"Ujilah segala sesuatu dan peganglah yang baik." (1 Tesalonika 5:21)

So... friends... keep ur faith and hope... I pray for you.

And for you who are in a waiting moment (whatever the case), don't be so anxious about why He has not answered you yet. He is on His way. Or... maybe you just need to keep walking along the previous path you've been walking until now, so you can experience and understand His unpredictable instructions (or surprises!) that He had in His mind for you. He is on your side.
