Personal Reflections
How fast time really flies. At the moment of typing now I'm also studying for my mid-semeter exams which starts tomorrow, the last theory semester. It just seemed like a barely a year ago I started my physiotherapy course. Looking back on the pass 2 years really did teach me alot of lessons. Ahh...6 years ago on this day I started a wonderful relationship with a girl that would
bring me my best years and break my heart the hardest. How fast did those years flew by.
The passage and sermon this morning in church really struck me and got me thinking. The passage read was from Matthew 14:22-36. A familliar account of Jesus walking on water. The versus that really cought my attention was verse 29-31, "And He said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and cought him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?". Personally I could relate much to this verse.
Think most of you who read my blog would know that I'd gone through a really turmoil time in my life just over a year ago. Things were falling apart and I really felt like the diciples who were in that storm. I did look to God at first and started to get closer to Him to find answers and comfort but eventually the problems kept increasing and my faith waivered and I begin to sink again. Some of you might know but I think most of you would not know that I sort of lost much of my faith. Sometimes its really just so hard to find peace when the answers were not forth-comming. To cut the long story short, I really thank God that He has be there helping me to pull through all that I was going through and to get my spiritual life back on track.
At the adult Bible study just now, we were discussing on a very interesting topic of "Why Did God Create Man?". Did you ever thought of it? There are my theories and thoughts on this subject and it is also written in the Bible but its not very much clear on our specific puropose and the reason why God created us. Anyway, what I personally got out of this study from just now and going through it again was that God did not reveal everything to us is because maybe He wants us to have a sense of self-discovery, a sense of learning as we progress in our lives. The answers to our troubles and problems might not be answered now but as we look back a few years down the road from now we might just find something. We might discover that if that particular event did not happend we won't be the better person that we become. God is indeed present in our lives. The more we try to run away from Him, the harder He would try to bring us back to Him.
