Sometimes when we judge the society, we reveal corruptions.
Sometimes when we look into an organization, we see loopholes.
Sometimes when we dig into a church, we discover imperfections.
Sometimes when we stand a foot closer to a person, we feel the difference.
Sometimes when we take a halt and make a pause, we realize peace and tranquility are just inches away.
Sometimes when we examine ourselves, we know what we are lacking of.
Sometimes we just break into tears without reason.

God says,

If we never felt the pain, how would we know that He is a Healer?

If we never had to pray, how would we know that He is a Deliverer?

If we never had a trial, how could we call ourselves an conqueror?

If we never felt sadness, how would we know that He is a Comforter?

If we never made a mistake, how would we know that He is a Forgiver?

If we never were in a trouble, how would we know that He will come to the rescue?

If we never were broken, how would we know that He can make us whole?

If we never had suffering, how would we understand what He went through?

If we never went through the fire, how would we become pure?

and If He gave us all things, how would we learn to appreciate them?


Everyone is called to a stand. He keeps us in His hands, knowing exactly where we will be heading to. He calls us to a church that we can be a blessing to the people around. But life is more than that. The world can divert us; the temptation will keep knocking. Stand strong and stand through. He will walk through the fire with us. Let His will be done. But lets fixed our eyes upon what's unseen rather than what is seen, for the unseen is eternal and what is seen is temporary. In His hand...

Breaking down once is always good. It keeps you growing, leading you to the higher inner court when we tune to Him, waiting to be pruned and blossom. It simplifies the complicated. It examines the heart. It seals the pain. It restores what we lost. The time has come.
