by His grace

I wonder if you see what I saw in this picture. =)

I didn't do it purposely. Teehee.. i only saw it after my happily-taking-picture session.

I have a friend who is now back in PJ for a few weeks break. He is fun guy. Haha.. a nice person to chat with and bum around in cell and etc. I haven't seen him for a very long time; didn't even have the chance to send him off to Germany last year. That Friday night, he shared with me how hard life is in Germany; how he can easily stray away and do whatever he likes; how he struggles with this and that...

Indeed, life is hard especially if you are so far away from your family.

'You gotta depend on yourself, decide for yourself, blah blah blah...'

It's easier said than done. I understand that. The time spent talking with him on these issues about being far away from home, struggles in the walk with God, studies, responsibilities towards own self and people around reminded me of things which I myself went through. I told him that one day he will see and understand the things which he is going through now. One day. And we gotta trust God that He knows what is best for us. I don't know how things are going to work out. It's really a test of faith.

Anyway, I am really glad that he came back for the short break. And he came back a slightly different person. Someone who is more appreciative of what God has given him. Someone who is humble enough to admit that he is facing problems and teachable enough to listen from God and people.

We are all living by the grace of God. You and me.
