sunshine after the rain

the human spirit is truly amazing... just when i felt i was at pit-bottom, i realise life is about living... about the journey... our time on earth wil eventually end, after which our spirits will reside in its eternal home... yet when life on earth seems miserable, i start to wonder the importance of my existence...

the greatest thing on earth is to realise the value of your life. if the value of your life is being defined by another human being... then u live a most miserable life - when the actions and words of another being influences how u feel about yourself... i asked frens this question, what is the most important thing in your life right now, and i set out to to seek that answer for myself... after the sermon by Ps Ong on Sunday, i realised the value of my life is the blood of Jesus. His blood bought my life, so that i can live it to bless others. much as depression has coerced me to look within myself and shrink my social life... God decided it was time for me to wake up.

to stop feeling sorry for myself, for my mistakes, and move on. He has prepared every good thing and every blessing so that i can live an abundant life - a life that i cannot live if i choose to focus my life on myself...

the most important thing in my life is my self-image... how i see myself... that sorrow is only a part of my emotions but it does not define who i m... that joy while it is a gift from God, the lack of it does not reduce my value by one bit. nothing that i do or feel make any difference to who i m and what i am worth.

thank you God, for this precious lesson
