Noticing God’s love in every minute of my life is a magnificent experience. I remember a friend telling me that God never promise us that He will deliver us from hardship of life, but He will be there in every season of our lives, providing support, guidance and comforts when we ask.
A few years ago I was totally a miss grumpy, and complain a lot of things. I complained about my job, about my financial (I know I shouldn’t complain because I shop too much), about the people around who gave me troubles, about what I don’t have and others have, etc… and I forgot to give thanks for the other things on the opposite side, such as having a good place to live, having a job that gave me a great amount of compensation and chance to travel to other places, able to eat good food at least 3 times in a day, having a lot of best friends (I do very lucky to have more than 5 best friends for any seasons), get a chance to learn a lot in life, able to say ‘I love you’ to my mom, to my dad, to my grandparents, spending good times with my uncles and aunties, and cousins, and having a ‘best friend quality’ relationship with my sister, good ideas and thoughts that God has planted in my mind, ability to love in a sincere way, understanding and wisdom, and so on… there are a lot of good things that actually happen to me.
One day, one of my best friends, introducing me to The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho), and he said this book is suitable for me. So I went to the book store, and bought The Alchemist. Once I read it… I was stunned… amazed, feel energized, this book waking me up from my dream and made me start to learn to realize my dreams instead of being the greatest complainer everyday. I learnt something called good omen, it’s like a good sign that God’s is with you. In good times or bad times, when you aware, God is actually talking to you. Once I learn to notice that I’m not left alone by God, slowly but sure I complain less (this best friend of mine admit that these days I rarely complain like a few years ago :p). – I believe that this best friend of mine, is a messenger from God, for me to read what has been thought of and written by Paulo Coelho (who is also a messenger to all the people in the world to get awake in their soul and start searching their dreams).
This morning I did a reflection of my life. I feel so peaceful, at ease and content… Even though my life seems up and down, in chaotic sometimes, and feel like a roller-coaster, lately I am able to notice many signs from God, that He is there listening to my prayers, and providing me things that I need to survive in the hardship of life.
As I walk in my life, try to achieve my purpose and my dreams… there are miraculous things like serendipity or coincidence telling me to go through and never give up though things seems impossible… and on the other time, there are also signs when I have to stop doing what I’m doing… because it leads me to something false.
And there are also times when I’m down and helpless… the angels in forms of friends coming up without me asking them (and without them knowing what is happening), they are sending me good words, advices… or just a message that I need to listen… or just a hug or a smile… or even just a silly jokes and it makes my days better… or just taking me up for ice creams (cheap huh? :p)
Also I notice that God is working in every small things I have passed in life, through books, or any quotes I have seen in magazine, in commercial advertisement… or movie… songs, services I attended, seminars, and other unlimited resources and ways that we cannot even think of… — there was one nice thing happened a few weeks ago, I went back from office with a certain thought, I felt a bit troubled… as I enter the lift to go to the unit I’m staying, there is a commercial television inside, and it was showing ‘This week quote: What is the greatest power in the world?’ … I was thinking to find the answer, in 5 second the screen change… and it said… PRAYER :). Coincidence? Maybe it is… but I believe that message sent to me from heaven :).
Today as I remember every little thing I have seen, heard, read and experienced… I feel so glad to know that God loves me so much, blessing me with many good things in life and in a funny way He’s sending me love messages :), and answering my prayers.
Thanks for Fanny – for sending us “I’ll Take Care of You” by Steven Curtis Chapman on last Christmas. The girls (my girls best friend) said that this is a church song, it’s about what God wants to say to us :).
