HELPLESS

Sometimes we would find something in life vanishing despite how careful we are.

A lot of things happened around us as lessons for us to learn, but we simply miss them.

Everyday there are people who have kidney failures despite how healthy they are.

Everyday lives are lost despite how careful they are.

Everyday accidents happen no matter how much safety precautions we take.

Everyday wallets are lost despite how secure we are.

Everyday people fell in love regardless how they avoid.

Everyday people divorcé despite how much counseling they went through.

It does not matter if you are very spiritual or gifted, or whether you are a great prophet, when the crisis decides to strike you, you could not prevent it.

For Jon, he just lost his sentimental Braun Buffel wallet. Along with it are cash ($250), NRIC, Driving License, Ezlink Card, Whizzcar member card, Office Access card, Name Cards, POSB Debit Master Card, UOB ATM Card, Hope Church member card & some receipts for claims.

Though all the above can be replaced some how, but the most painful ordeal is the process of replacing them. More money would be spent. More time would be lost. Sentiments would diminish too. What a way to end the old and start anew.

Some how only God knows why some things happen. Some things have to go and be forgotten. Some things have to change. Some things have to evolve. Some things we have to throw. Some things we have to plan ahead. And some things have to be freshened up.

Henceforth we just have to admit that sometimes we can be very helpless in life. So why take life so seriously? Why so bothered about what is fair and what is not? Why so calculative about things in life? Why control your life so much that you can’t breathe?

Take a step back and look at life. Give yourself a break.

WWJD?

Indeed, in today's fast paced society, we can face so much inconv when we lost impt docu (eg. IC, credit cards, etc). Remember there's a movie about some pple go & alter the hero in the movie's ID in the govt system. The consiparcy then starts.... Anyway, that's a moive.

WWJD?

Was reading Job & find he's in worse sh** than most of us when we are lost. He really lost everything, worse, cannot just go counter & apply new card/docu/etc. Yet, he never give up on God. Really inspiring. Maybe it's time more pple really ask themselves, like wat u said, life's so short, wat should we do? Hv u read In His Steps? Good book. WWJD?
