My best friend sent me an email today. She told me about 2 super good news; she's off to Phuket for her pre-birthday and her boyfriend could finally fly back to where she is now after being banned to enter another country. At first, I couldn't help but question God, "how come I haven't received such an extravagant good news just like that of my best friends?" I'm sorry but I am only human but anyway, after that thought crossed my mind, I automatically dismissed the question in my head.
I am just human. I am not perfect. I get envious and I get hurt. I aim high and dream of accomplishing so much in life as well. Don't judge me if this thought ever crossed my mind. I was also thinking if God would ever condemn me for entertaining such thought. Then, I realized that God doesn't expect us to be perfect just because we are Christians now. It is more of what you choose to do after that thought entered your mind. I could have chosen to be bitter. Oh, it is so easy to be bitter. Envy can seep in your heart and really cause you to be mad and be bitter. Instead, I chose to rejoice with my friend.
My best friend deserves all those blessings. She's been going through a lot and it has been causing her anxiety and depressing. This outpour of blessings was just given at the right time. I truly praise God for that. With her birthday coming up in a few weeks from now, I am sure that she felt how awesome our God is with all these that's been happening to her.
So for my issues, I choose to brush them away. It's not yet my time and I would not feel envious. My heart is filled with joy for my best friend. I hope this is the beginning of something great and wonderful for her. I would really be happy to hear more awesome things for her. I do hope this would begin a desire to get to know the Lord more. :)
Am I happy? Yes. Do I have issues? Nah... forget it. Today, I learned a great lesson and witnessed an outpour of blessings. That's enough for me now. God is awesome. He never fails to amaze me.
