When I am down...

and oh my soul, so weary.
when troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence....

until You come and sit awhile with me.

I wish. 

The real version: 

When I am down and oh my soul, so weary
when troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence.....

for an hour, three days, or a week..max!!

GOD, You didn't come and sit with me.
Where are YOU???


It's not pretty when I am upset. 

But the truth is, every time I am down, I remember random people would come and encourage even without me having to share my burden. And they would speak the Word I need to hear. Sometimes, people simply sit down with me out of boredom....and bless me without knowing it. It happened so many times that I just have to give credits to the One who painstakingly arranged it for me. I trouble Him a lot I guess. So He did sit awhile with me. Quite.

The thing is, it took me awhile to realize this. Sometimes when we were done talking and I felt encouraged, I thanked my friend and forgot about Him, after all  they are my friends what? But when it happened repeatedly, someone kept trying to lift you up when you were on the floor each time, it felt like someone kept giving you money when you're broke. You couldn't be that lucky, could you? So there should be a culprit... and it is not madam coincidence.

What about you? Did you notice Him sitting awhile with you, today?    

“God is not a belief to which you give your assent. God becomes a reality whom you know intimately, meet everyday, one whose strength becomes your strength, whose love, your love. Live this life of the presence of God long enough and when someone asks you, “Do you believe there is a God?” you may find yourself answering, “No, I do not believe there is a God. I know there is a God.”
