Hope for Hurting People

Hurting people hurt people, but love can heal and change them.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of sympathy (pity and mercy) and the God [Who is the Source] of every comfort (consolation and encouragement).
Who comforts (consoles and encourages) us in every trouble (calamity and affliction) , so that we may also be able to comfort (console and encourage ) those who are in any kind of trouble or distress, with the comfort (consolation and encouragement) with which we ourselves are comforted (consoled and encouraged) by God.
--- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

My own reflection on this Thought:
* Only love can heal this world. And the love that can heal, I believe is only the love of God which is so pure, true, and the most important thing is unconditional.
Everybody hurts, but how can we make this world to be a better world?
Believe that God loves us. It will enable us to spread His love to the people surround us. (-fon-)

Timing Is Everything

Many times we want information on when, and God cannot give it because we do not have enough wisdom to handle the knowledge. We must humble ourselves and our ideas to the wisdom and power of God and trust Him when He says in His Word He will not be late one single day. He has an appointed time for everything in our lives. Appointed time simply means when He knows the time is right.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.
--- Habakkuk 2:3

My own reflection on this Thought:
* While we're living in such a 'rush hour' in our daily life, it's hard to believe that we need to wait for His perfect timing to come.
Sometimes, when we just start a new relationship with our boyfriend or girlfriend, we want to know as soon as possible, when the wedding date would be.
While we just start our career in a new company, we want to know when will be our promotion day. Etc... Etc...
Actually, that's normal, but the thing is: we can't control most of the cases in this life. Like or dislike, we have to let God reign and in control of TIMING in our life.
Just believe that He won't give nothing but the BEST, but in His time-frame, not ours.
Our part is just believe in Him... (-fon-)
