Have I ever said
“Thank You” to the Lord for my life? Did I even thank him for all the good
things that happened to me? Have I ever thought that this life I have now is
His gift already? These times, I guess so. Of all the blessings He showers me
and my family, I must be thankful. I should appreciate and treasure everything
I receive from Him. I must notice that in every move I make, I’m having a
choice; whether to do it on my own or to rely on Him for more strength. My
entire life, hmm… it’s a great gift from our God.
When I was younger, I knew He is
the one who created me. I knew that He gave me life for a reason. I knew not
everything about Him but I knew Him. I knew He knows me very much. I knew He
knows my future life. Well, I have known all these things but I never thought
of even saying a “Thank You” to Him. I never thought of it.
And now I’m a little bit older, I
think I have felt all the feelings that my age could feel. I felt happy,
respected, in love, contented, sad, broken, alone, and misunderstood. “Hell
yea! LIFE IS SO UNFAIR!” I have shouted it so many times because I felt
cheated. I was always thinking that God was in favor of someone’s life, that He
was giving more love to those who were better than me. I forgot about His gift
to me. I forgot about God. I even felt that He was not true. Well, THAT WAS ME
BEFORE.
As time goes by, it transforms
everything. Time changes the way I think. Time creates gap but it makes me more
mature to understand anything that I should have known. Time makes my life
shorter but it gives me a lot of strength to hold on to God tighter. Still, I
know not everything about God but now I know that I have Him holding me so
tight 24/7.
Honestly, I’m a good girl but
sometimes I’m just half of it. I’m not perfect so I commit mistakes. I’m just
His creation, one of those He had given life. I have asked for so many things
and He had given me what I need. I know that He loves me, I should pray each
day, and I should give Him even a “Thank You” everyday.
