Status: Drowning — in God's grace and mercy 🌿
there are days in a week when i question my existence.
Why am i still here? Why i still have the breath that i am breathing? Why Someone out there gives me a lot of chances to live? A couple of questions in my mind like these just because even i ... can't understand the privileges i am still receiving.
After a long time, i woke up again asking "what's the reason for waking me up today, Lord?". It's been years when i stopped asking this question but today, i don't know why it popped up again. Actually, i got the answer from a still small voice that whispers "for your purpose". And i decided to finally stand up from the place that i am laying despite ...
During my quiet time, i was reminded of how God delivered the Israelites from Egyptians and even when they are in the wilderness until they entered the Promised Land. They are rescued a lot of times despite their impatience and grumbling. Then i realized that i am like those Israelites who fussed immediately when the situation in front of me doesn't look good to the point that i forget about how God saved me repeatedly.
i am so irritated with the response of the Israelites.
i am so mad at the cycle of "sin-repent-sin-repent" that i saw in them.
not until i found out, that i am irritated and mad with myself because again ... i saw myself on them.
There are moments that i get tired of myself but on those moments, God's grace and mercy shine all the more.
i might be tired of being a human but the One who created me, never; will never.
At some point in our lives, we are like the Israelites. The good news is the God who revealed Himself to them by showing compassion and forgiveness is the same God who is with us now — saving and delivering us from this broken world full of sins. Our eyes are open to the effect of sins nowadays; how it affects our lives and others'. . Yet there's One telling us to "look at the cross and be save from sin"
You see, regardless of what Israelites did and how they responded, God's love and forgiveness were still given to them. And here i am testifying as someone who is drowning not in emptiness or sin but in God's grace and mercy.
