accepting the heart of contentment
Oh wells, perhaps, God really is teaching me 2b contented with all that i have. my family, my friends (gah yan, Yan jun and evelyn) to me, these are the ppl who show true friendship. Just by this occasion, my birthday.
Tho its already vv late, but something deep within feels like pouring into this. My mom, having not a lot of money, has poured into celebrating this occassion which was special for me.yes, there were a few friends who texted me and wished me happy birthday, but, the friend that displayed true friendship was Gah yan- the friend i met at the youth camp 2 years back.
I could feel the genuine spirit from her which none of my friends so far had ever displayed. I experienced that true touch of friendship true her, and thats why I thank God for this friend of mine. The fact that i had forgotten her birthday, and have not kept in touch with her since a year ago, had me feeling more appreciative of her. That was because she had bothered to take the time out just to have my birthday celebrated with her. It was a simple function, a cake and a present, and some chatting, but i enjoyed it the most in my 17 yrs of birthday celebrated with any of my friends. This little act of love has made me ponder about the fact of being a friend. is it just to gain from the other party or to be like Jesus who loved still regardless of the umpteen times we (i) 've rejected him. Sometimes, its sad to say, even my blood father had no reservations t wish me Happy birthday. And, christians, my church mates, no one noes exacctly when's my birthday or find out the exact date. Nonetheless, all these did not tear the joy within me because simply God placed it in there, I still love this year's birthday and even more GOD, who never failed to celebrate my birthday with me, and thATs what that matters. the best is yet to come, God says. ts meant 2b a surprise. Thank you father, truly heaven and earth may pass away, friends and foes may come and go, but YOU, are always here for me, no matter what, no matter where.. THANK YOU JESUS! I promise to be a testimony of yours, Lord, who'll love not for the sake of getting something in return, or for the sake of loving alone, but for the sake of christ's love for me. I will carry out what was shown to me,
