Yeay! I finally make it. The first post of this blog.
At first, I was really confused what kind of post I should post here. I mean, I have already had so many ideas what I'm gonna write on this blog but I just expected my first post should be really amazing. So I was thinking too much. But then I read my introduction I had written here. It says that I'm gonna take you guys to get into words of mine through my experiences which hopefully could inspire and motivate you. So I decided to just simply let you know what it's so great for today here.
Today, I am sick.
I got fever since yesterday. My throat and bones are really hurt. And, of course, I don't feel well.
But why did I say it's great? Because it's still indeed great!
Not because I could skip today's classes. Of course not! (I miss my friends and I hate being sick. Nobody likes being sick.) But, you know, because though I got sick, there are still many other things I could thank God right now. They might be not so great. They might be not that precious. But have you ever done this? Look at those unlucky people who don't even have a mom to take care of them when they are sick! Or those who cannot even go to a hospital when they are sick! Those people will say that things we could still thank God are great, even the greatest.
So now the question is "Is it only great if we can still have things we can thank God? How about those unlucky people, then?"
Say it! All is well. It's great not only because we have things we can thank God, but because all is indeed well. Because we have God. When we have things, all is well. When we have nothing, all is well. (In fact, we never have nothing, because we have God.) All. Is. Well.
Some of you may be laughing on it. Some of you may think that it's easier to say but harder to really say in our tough times. In those tough times, we'll be like those people who don't have a mom to take care of them when they are sick and lonely. Even for those people who are truly in that kind of a situation, there is no comparison to describe how tough their lives are. So, how could I say all is well? How could we believe that all is really well?
Do you know, The Prophet Job (Ayyub)? Have you ever heard his story?
He had been so blessed until God let trials befell him. He lost his family, his health, his riches and wealth, and everything in such a really long time that it seemed like God had left him already. There was no warning. It just happened suddenly. But what had he been doing for all those times? He had been keeping trusting God that all was well. And because of that, what did he get? He got twice as much of every his first before.
All you can see is just what is now not what is next.
You may have nothing, but God has provided. You may be in your hardest times, but you are stronger now. Daud couldn't be Daud without Goliath. And Israel couldn't be Israel without being colonized by Egypt. That's why when we have nothing, all is well. And when we have things, all is well.
Now, say it! All is well. No one has nothing because God is with us. All is well.
God bless you, people! :)
