This is the word that comes to my mind, as I saw my rabbit stand up in anticipation today. In a way, she look so cute, but as I look again, it's more than just cute, I see helplessness. I ran out of rabbit food, and I forgot to buy. (no worries, I will not starve her, and that is not the point) The truth about my rabbit is, she is in such a helpless situation. In a way, she have no control over, when food or water is given to her. She have no control over when affection will be shown to her. A life that is so dependent upon her master. My mind then drifted to some other situations around me, I recalled the helpless people around me, I feel a sense of burden for them. Their inability to make wise decisions for their own good or even to protect themselves is worrying. Some, don't even know that they are helpless. The way they drift through life, it brings heartaches to me.
For me? There are days when I feel helpless too, as if I'm at the mercy of circumstances and situation around me. But the gentle reminder from the Holy Spirit comforts and assure me that I am not alone. I'm about as vulnerable to any stress or hurts and that anyone could be prone to, but I thank God, for him, that I can always seek refuge from him. Sometimes, I feel as if, it's so unfair, coz he had loved me so much more than I love him. Yet, I'm too reminded that, he is greater than me, even his heart is so much more gracious than mine.
This is him who says,
"Never will I leave you, Never will I forsake you" Hebrews13:5b"
Never, FYI, is a absolute term.
Isn't it amazing?
The more I know him, the more I seek him, helplessness loosens it's grip on me.
Last night, as I worship, I caught a glimspe of fleeting beauty, yes fleeting, it pass by so fast, yet so beatiful. I remember beauty chase again. Beauty chase, never ends, beauty chase, seeks after his glory, his holiness. Beauty Chase stands in awe of him...
