Thoughts.
I read this whole section a few days ago...been busy these few days and therefore, lack of posts. Tired...v.tired now. Things are going okay so far~ except for my mom and i. I know that i can't have everything...if i have my happiness from someone...important, i will lose the happiness from another important person in my life. Why does it have to be like this? Why can't everything just balance ? All equal, i want to have everyone in my life, the ones i considered important to me. My friends, my b.f, my family. Why can't every term just stand together. Just let me have all of them? Return to a warm home filled with laughters. Go out and have fun with friends, sharing close relation...good friendship i can count on, as well as sweet love from bf who loves me...so much. And remains that much, or strech even further?
(This is what i read...about God)
Oh, there's no doubt, sin can be fun. For many people,
the knowledge that they're doing something God forbids adds to their fun.
They're not afraid of God. They're going to do whatever they want, and as often as they want.
They haven't been hit by lightning yet, so they're going to keep on doing it.
He knows that sinful fun always has bad consequences. Those consequences may not show up immediately,
maybe not even for years, but they will show up.
Let's be honest here. If your life were completely fulfilling, you wouldn't be reading this, looking for answers. In your truthful moments, maybe you're filled with a sort of sickening emptiness. You don't feel guilty, but every time you look in the mirror, the person you see makes you flinch.
You try not to think about it. Maybe more fun will make that feeling go away. Shouldn't life be one nonstop party? Isn't the goal to enjoy life to the max, to cram in as much fun as you possibly can?
That's the problem. Fun isn't enough. Whether it's harmless fun or sinful fun, fun doesn't satisfy. Fun is temporary entertainment. It has a time limit. You can have fun, but at some point it has to stop and you have to return to reality.
You're not a little kid any more. You need something deeper. The answer is that God offers something deeper. It's called joy.
Joy is very different from fun, and it's even different from happiness. Joy satisfies. Joy perfectly fills that hole inside of you and instead of loneliness, you feel peace.
But there's a catch. God dispenses joy. He creates joy, and he's the Keeper of joy. You can try to get it somewhere else, but it never works, because God created that hole in your soul and only the joy he gives will match it, like a key made for its lock.
Seriously, after reading this, i finds it compels to me. Like it's written for me to read. And for many of us out there...trying to find something...to fill that emptiness. What is it? What is missing? What's my purpose here on mother earth? May nature takes it's course and i pray hard that i can find my balance in life.
