Being That Someone



Sometimes when you go through something so tough you feel you could die, you couldn't help but ask God, "Why??!"

Sometimes when things don't go as you have planned - again and again and yet again - you wonder, what's up with all that? Why is God allowing you to waste your time?

Sometimes when you need an encouragement, a hope, a sign, anything - and you get it - but then things fall flat anyway, you think, "Was that really a sign? Or was I that desperate to interpret everything as a sign?"

And sometimes when you find yourself sitting before a distraught someone - battling all of the above - and you can understand, relate and feel the depth of their emotions because you have been there before. And now everything that you've been through, everything that seemed absurd and flawed suddenly made sense. You remembered that when you were in need, someone who cared was there to help pull you through. Who gave you strength when you have none.

Sometimes you finally understood why you've been through what you've been through.

So that you can be that someone.

*"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."

2 Corinthians 1:3,4

*Wow. And to think a few hours ago until now, I was sitting behind my desk fuming because somebody just pissed me off. I'm not a very good Christian (as my blog will testify to) but I still complained to God why this.

And then I read this.. Thanks! =)

*Yup, it's never ever wasted. Like I said to someone else recently... the only good thing about knowing pain firsthand is being able to hurt with others when they hurt.
