A thought

Something came across my mind yesterday night.

Usually I live to give examples when I counselling others or advice when times they are trouble. This is an example that I once give...not sure some of the people i give advice still remember this but...it just flash across my mind.

Imagine you have a glass of water that is half filled or can you consider it is a glass of water empty or half filled.

But to me...no matter it is half filled or half empty. When you start holding it.
Hold for a min...you feel nothing.
Hold for an hour...you start to feel numb
Hold for a day...You need help.

Sometimes, is not the content of the glass that is inside but is how we want to hold on for how long. Friends, sometimes we need to learn when to put down this glass of water. No matter how strong, as time goes by we will feel the stress...until one day we cannot take it.

Most of the time, we are really uncertain about the things thats going around us eventually we tend to hold on the things we wanted so much that create so much stress that we can't stand. Maybe we worry too much.

Matthew 6:25~26

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
"Look at the birds of the air, for thay neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.


Psalm 121:2~8

My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heavn and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.

We are not to worry about the things as long as we put trust in the LORD's hand and he will provide us. Our strength is limited, but God will empower us unlimited strength as we put trust in Him.
