There are so many things that had happened today.Of laughter and joy that we had,there were grief and failure came through the moments that we shared today.This combination of sweetness and bitterness is belong to The Master.He knows what is the best for all of us.What ever we wish or expect for in this life,He decides the outcome as He wills for his creation.What happen today reminds me of a picture...
A beautiful picture that I've seen before.I viewed this picture on this rainy,cold day.It was wet,freezing atmosphere,that most were preferred to stay at home.I was sitting on a couch,looking directly through a big,glass window ahead of me.I could see the vast sky and huge ocean clearly.The grey clouds were gathered together,where I could only see a few,small strands of blue sky behind these clouds.And the waves of the ocean have their own rhythm,that they synchronized with each other in a particular pattern.A spectrum colours of rainbow painted the sky at the other angle of this picture.Then,I said directly to myself,this whole picture has its own resemblance with the journey of life as I felt it connected with everyone's path..
And it has similar presentation with what had happened today.That the obstacles that we had is like the grey clouds,they will come and go in this life.That the sky is always blue,as it always does,no matter how big the grey clouds are to cover the sky,it has always remained in blue.That no matter how hard your trials are,the love,mercy and protection from Him has always been there.That when you are in hardship,dont overlook to the grey clouds,bear in mind that the blue sky is always behind them,that you always have Him to hold on to,in travelling this journey.Not only that,when we experience difficulties in some days,there must be delight that He bestowed upon us in those days,like the rainbow that accompanied the grey clouds in the rainy day.
Apart from the sky,the ocean itself has its own significant.The synchronized waves were somehow resembled 'the consistency'.This is seems like the consistency of our state, in facing our days through out lifetime.That no matter grey or white clouds they are,we have to be persistent in dealing with any good or bad situation that we may come across in the future.That when we have good days,all praises and glory are belong to Him.That when we have bad days,we call for His help and protection.
This picture says million things about what could happen in my life,your life,and everyone's life.If nowadays,most of us focus on differences that we have from each other,I would like to balance them with similarities that could bring us all together.No matter how different are our problems,the similarities are many to be considered.That we are not alone in going through this life.That we are given tests,which we can only bear.That we always have His mercy upon all of us.That a drop of poison that we may taste,there is probably a glass of honey which we may drink in this life.That we belong to the same Creator,so we shall return to Him at the end of the day as well.
The core point of this entry is only my initial reflection of today's lesson,and it is only for my development so that I can remind myself hopefully, that 'life is short,that it flashes before my eyes'

Yes Siti i think what you say is what i also agree with .. The Lord knows whats best for all of us and for everything that is happening every single moment.
Your analogy of the sky and how the dark clouds appear and depict hardships in life is really nice.True they are all passing clouds and they reveal the open wide beautiful blue sky.
May God give everyone the strength and courage.
Thanx Prabha,remember when we discussed about people who are in reality?I really wanna share this picture with them,so that I'll learn more.Remember the question that u asked?It is a fundamental question that each person asks,and its upon our responsibility to find the best answer while we have the chance.
