As I Stare Out Afar

Chilly night,
Street lamps,
People wandering,
Searching in the dark.

Things that we hold on,
Late nights,
Laugher filled days,
Surprises.

Heartaches,
Storms and thunders,
Uncalculated sacrifices,
These made us stronger.

And I wonder where are you,
Are you bracing the cold alone?
Or are you basking in the hot sun with your favourite tunes on?

I have never like the unknown.
Dangers,
Frauds,
Traps.

But who are you?
Unknown and yet I feel safe.
Where are you?

When my body fails me,
When my mind shuts down,
When my heart decides to give up,
What would You do?

Will you be able to save me?
Remind me
and
Pull me back into the safety of your arms?

Learning

For the past few weeks, I have truly learned a lot in the aspect of human interactions.
I have always read about God's Grace, God's love.
But I realized I never know how it felt, to be the one giving it.
Receiving it was easy. All I need to do, is receive.
However,
Being gracious, loving people,
It is not easy at all.

With stress sucking up every ounce of your patience,
The last thing in your head is to forgive or even tolerate the slightest irritant.
Putting myself in other person's shoes is a huge inconvinience.
When people take you for granted, hurt you with words as sharp as swords,
All you want to do is protect yourself with a shield and just run away.

Somehow, the thought of showing grace and love has been put into my mind last few months,
and I decided to take up the challenge.
And it was truly a huge challenge.
Some days, it drives me to the edge of my tolerance cliff.
This is when I realized how huge, how high, how amazing God's love and grace is.

However, when I manage to take it in,
Be gracious to people,
I feel good!

Sometimes, we might feel like we were taken for granted when we are being nice,
But, if everyone try to be gracious to other people,
Imagine how wonderful the world would be.

I am still learning to be like You, Lord. Would you take me by my hand and guide me through?
I still need Your Grace, I still need Your love.
