For Those You Love

Another awesome long weekend here :)

Thanks to beloved housemates and The Royals.

Superblessed by them.

Hope I could bless them as much as they bless me.

Anyway.

Just a thing or two.

The first thing. One song from The Script which I fell in love recently.

No, it's not another love song ._. Trust me.

Powerful music, even more powerful lyrics, I say.

I think it's telling us how he misses his parents and how they become his inspiration to write songs.

And I also think that this guy are willing to trade all the fame he has just to see his parents smiling back at him once again. Sad :(

Man. I wish I could write such beautiful song.

So that when people heard, they would know what I feel when writing the song.

They even can FEEL what I felt.

Anyway..

Have you ever miss someone so bad? Or a sudden thought of your parents, relative, or friends, or somebody you know flashed your mind?

Ah. Don't say you never. Lol. I know you do.

Well at least.. I do.

And it's quite bothering me since I'm in the middle of 'fun-time'.

I didn't sit alone in my room or listen to a slow song while staring through the window to the pouring rain outside.

Hahaha superemo siah.

I was eating. And laughing so hard with the rest of the gang. It's like a strike of a lighting.

Okay I'm exaggerating.

But really. It's so immediate, I was stunt inside.

But then I was reminded by one sentence my dad once tell me.

It's funny though.

He only said it once, and I remember that time I only nod and forgot it instantly.

It's something like..

'Whenever I remember you, or Febe, or Mom, or any other relative, I would say a simple prayer so God keep you all safe'

Aww Daddddd...

So that exactly what I do right then and there.

I just said a simple prayer. So God will keep my friend safe.

Instant liberation.

I still think about this friend, but the burden's gone.

I don't feel worry anymore.

I mean, you cannot be in two places at the same time.

And even if you do, you might not be able to meet the person you think about for one or many reasons lol.

Maybe you miss your home. Your parents. Your siblings.

Your bestfriends. Your boy/girlfriend.

Soooo bad.

Or like happened to me, you remember this random/non-random person.

Well, pray for him/her.

Logically thinking, it's like this :

You are limited.

Your power, your time, your strength, your ideas, your resources, even your love, is limited.

Whether you like it or not, things go beyond our control all the times.

Then, why don't we surrender things to the One whose power, time, strength, idea, resources, and most of all LOVE is limitless?

Pray for those you love.

Those you care about.

When you feel that your arms is not long enough to reach them.

Or no words of consolation can be said to them.

Or when you know your friends are alone, but you can't be with them..

Pray.

For God's arms are long enough for the whole universe.

For His words might not be heard by ear by felt by heart.

For no other consolations needed if He Himself is the source peace and joy.

Therefore, pray.

I will.

As long as both of us are alive and breathing, my friend, I will pray for you.

So you will be captured by His grace and in awe, you'd never turn your face from Him.

So you will be favored in your workplace, promoted, get a raise to be spent on something useful, not only be kept till second coming or something. LOL.

So you never walked alone.

Even through the darkest night and the loneliest day, you'd never be left alone.

That even if I can't be there for you, Jesus will.
