Reflection
Many people assume that as a law student, writing and expression would probably be the least of one worries. I however, always find it difficult to pen down my thoughts. For starters, its perhaps because my mind is filled with loads of useless information, ideas so random that even I am amazed with what I actually come out with.
Third year into University and I can't help but to look back at the past two years of my life. Have I became a different person? Adapting my way through university, changing my behaviour, values and vision for survival? Have I now become relatively more socially desirable as a person in society?
I guess one's environment can shape a person's character. Much have changed in this past two years. I experienced the loss of a love one, I went through my peak in terms of academic but also went through the darkest valley in my 22 years on Earth, where hope feels so far away. I no longer remember who I am two years ago and sometimes I no longer can recognise who I am today. I look into the mirror, and often wonder, would things have been different if I weren't where I am today?
I thank God that even in my darkest days, I am comforted by the fact that he is right there beside me. Even in the troughs, he is sovereign. Circumstances doesn't change who God is. Can one really live without God? I guess many try to and perhaps many would think that they have succeeded in it, but I know I can't and no one can.
Thank you Lord for being the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Even though I may be a different man from who I used to be, but I know that my identity or who I end up being doesn't matter in your eyes. I will never be able to live the way you want me to live, I will never be able to survive the death that I deserve. I thank you Lord for sending your one and only beloved son Jesus, to die for me on the cross, to give me a brand new identity, to make me whole and build a relationship with you.
