God is Fair

... it's been a hot minute since the last time i've written anything worth posting on this blog. i've been in a season that's been abundantly fruitful nonetheless, apart from sharing on blog. i thought this story that a jipsahnim at my church shared with me yesterday, was worth posting. we were in the middle of discussing how God has been providing for all my needs and she went on to share, "see, God is fair!" and then went into sharing this story:

she said, "there's a story in the olden chinese days where a father and a son lived in some rural land. the son had gotten into a devastating accident and lost one of his legs, all in which when the war was just about to take place. all the young men were commissioned to fight for their country except this young man, due to his accident. well, the war went on and none of the soldiers ended up surviving, accept this young man."

i'm not sure if this story is true or not but the moral of it was that in life we may only see with our eyes our current sufferings, being blinded from seeing the whole scheme of it all. in my 26 years of life, i may have had to endure through tough times but also with those times came good ones as well. God was/is/will be faithful, whatever circumstance i may be facing because no matter who may come and go, what may happen, where i'll be, "God is the same yesterday, today and forever." (hebrews 13:8). And with this fact, that's a daily revelation, is more than sufficient for me..

"Many come short,

being satisfied with the works of God

rather than hungering for and reaching

on to God Himself."
