Pressed Down!

Life faces a series of events. These episodes are combinations of highs and lows. Things happen sometimes beyond our control despite careful planning and cautious actions. Some experiences unravel before us and caught us helplessly.


And as we motion through life, eyes are watching us from everywhere. Eyes that are familiar and even close to us get so critical, what is more is they tend to say nasty things against us.


It is true that John and I are in a tight spot. We are drawn against arduous situation… and it may seem that things are not progressing despite the solutions that we bring to it… in fact things get so heavy to bear…


There are moments that my thoughts are playing tricks on me… wanting to let go of this situation. My mind magnified the remarks of other people… entertaining the opinions that maybe God is truly so far away.


But my mind snapped with the truth that God will never leave us nor forsake us. And like Job and Joseph, God has allowed bad events to come in their lives to bring out God’s ultimate purpose.


Few Sundays back, as we attended our Sunday service… Ptr. Jon said, when you are almost drawn near to your goal, the enemy will surely schematize to frustrate you and get you turn your back from your faith. The enemy will surely steal your blessings. He will destroy anything good for you.


Sure we are pressed down. Bad news and disappointments come our way as we strive our goal to have Jason get operated soonest. Man’s solution may be futile as of this time, but the Lord has sustained my son’s life even today. Jason’s fight for his life is not by our own effort but by the grace of God. It sounds crazy, but this happens to bring glory to His name… that He is in our midst… that even those eyes around us will recognized that God is the ultimate source of everything that we need… and in our end that we continue our faith and hope in Him… that in His time, He will make things in place for Jason’s operation.


Pressed down but not destroyed.
