loneliness
Exams are around the corner. Everyone's frantically studying, each in their individual rooms... and what am i doing? hmm... Sometimes i really wonder. The books are within sight, the stationaries are on the left. Preparations for "Operation Mugging" have been done. But something doesn't seem right. Am I missing out on something?
I'm feeling lonely...
"Of course lar! You've been away from home for 3 months!"
I wish it was that simple.
"Lord, I don't know why I'm feeling this way. But it seemed as though You're missing in my life. Where are You Lord? I can't feel Your love anymore... It just feels so empty and hollow inside. What wrong have I done? What have I done that You had to turn Your back on me?"
"Look at your life and tell me, what have u done so far?"
"Studying, getting to know people, socializing..."
"And where am I in that picture?"
"But they are just normal everyday stuffs Lord"
"Am I just a sunday God? Who's on vacation from monday to saturday?"
-sigh-
It's so easy to put God out of the picture really. It's as simple as getting yourself involved in too many ministries, fitting your schedule with activities after activities. God is out of the picture... And it's only on sundays that His name suddenly appears all so prevalent in the morning.
"Dear Lord, I'm sorry for the many times that I've put you out of the picture. I have to admit that it's really tough remembering you in the everyday things that I do. But that's what You've asked of us in return really. It was the reason why You came, and died. So that we can have personal relationship with You. My life is Yours Lord. Once again, I surrender it to You. Lord You guide my ways and light my path. For my life is nothing if it ain't for Your glory."
And the loneliness went away
