3 letters. One very powerful word.
Have you found yourself asking this question recently?
I was walking along Maginhawa Street in Quezon City when I saw this street art while crossing the pedestrian lane last Holy Monday. Now, more than a week after, this word is running wild in my thoughts and deep inside, my heart is screaming --- WHY?!
I feel weak and somehow lost. This feeling of failure is so unfamiliar to me, I'm not used to it. The state where I am now feels so foreign, so distant for me... Last night, I was tempted to question Him and His plans for me. As I write this blog post, I am still in pain and in tears... for losing or failing on something that I really want and have been waiting for... but you see God really works in mysterious ways just like all these WHYs scattered all over the city.
I believe the Lord has a better plan for me. He knows that I am not yet ready for that one thing that I really desire... I don't know how I will react now if not for the Bible passages as well as Chinkee's sharing I recently read in RICH GOD, POOR GOD. I started reading this book last Easter Monday afternoon and it was only last night that it became very meaningful to me after receiving a (heart) breaking news.

As I question God and ask all the WHYs in the world, I decided to continue reading and just before midnight, I acknowledge God's words and calling through a concrete action. I will keep it to myself first but amidst all this pain and devastation, I just want to share that the lesson in this book by CHINKEE TAN help me cope with what I'm feeling right now. It does not only open my eyes to reality and wonders of the Lord but it also open my heart to be more attentive to God and His call. Yes, I still ask Lord WHY, but I also started to ask myself those questions and reflect on my actions.
Reading this book was a wake-up call... not only about money matters but also about my faith and how I perceived the Lord Almighty. It also opened some hidden wounds of the past yet it also help me heal and understand everything that happened to me these past days.
I believe it was also in God's plan that I finish reading this book while I cope with this feeling of great lose because at the end, He still wants me to prosper!
I finished reading the book around lunch time earlier and found these provoking questions at the end...

"Life is all about balance.
Just like a tightrope walker, we must master the art of maintaining balance
while walking on a high-tensioned wire."

I still don't know the answers to those questions so I'll let God guide me as I reflect on my reason and learn to balance my life as well as do works of faith beyond lip service. Right now, I'm coping and hoping...
I am holding on to God's promise of prosperity and trust Him with all my heart.
Let me share this bible verse I read last night as I question God and His plan.
