Trust In God

Trust in God. This is a very broad topic. And I am very appreciative I am qualified to discuss this.

My sister, Isay, asked me today (29 Jan 2009) while we were cruising the length of Hibiscus Street (as if it was a very long road hahahaha!), "Why it seems that you are 'so prone' to problems? And your problems could either make you or break you. You'll lose everything if you can't solve one." She didn't know I was asking the same questions myself. And all I can say is "beware with what you wish for". You wouldn't know what the consequences will be.

I remember when I was younger (well I am still 18 years young with 41 years of experience). I always loved to read the Bible. I remember coming across an advice. It was saying that the best gift you can ask for is wisdom. If you sincerely ask God for it , He will surely give it to you. I closed my eyes that time, and spoke to Him as if He was just next to me. I whispered, "Please give me wisdom. Make me wise." I am not saying that I wished for it and I suddenly became wise. I am also not claiming that I am wise as if I really am very, very wise. But I can say that after all the trials that I came across with, I am wiser. It is during these times when I am so down with problems that I always talk to people. Older people, younger people, male or female, rich or poor, smart or not-they have contributed a lot to what I know now. Each has wisdom to share. It's up to me to digest, absorb and decide which fits the situation. Each problem solved will leave a lesson to learn. Using proper words, correct gestures and the most important ingredient for being wise is the gentleness of the heart. All these together used in any kind of situation will surely make one a winner. But wait...am I not supposed to discuss about trust in God? Trust is totally associated with wisdom. I found out that when everything else fail, trust in God will surely do the job. Being wise does not only mean knowledge on how to deal with situations. Wisdom is accepting the fact that we are weak and need God. When we could no longer comprehend, trust in God comes in. And I have a lot of my own life stories to share witnessing to this. But let me finish this one "other" big storm in my life first. One problem (Trusting this is the last of it's sort...Amen) that will make me a bit wiser than I am now.
