FALLING SLOWLY

    Conflicts are around our circle. It seeps through the mainstream of our system. Though strange sometimes, requiring high endurance most of the time, creating a topsy-turvy melody hence out of tune in our lives. Then, we are falling slowly on the explicit contour of its cons. We sound coherent when we talked about it, but deep down our core, we are being eaten up, a little more dining is done, a little more, our lives is on a puddle of mud. As we continue dwelling in our activities of daily living, we tend to hear counsels 50% of which are from righteous ones while the other 50% are from unrighteous. We usually hear the words uttered since it sounded very well articulated but somehow we forget that we need not to hear but to listen on what they say. However, every line has its own meanings and perspectives that we need to discern.

    Many of us hear the words conveyed by the common people within our circle. Most of us rely on others’ understanding about the situation and adhere on their precept bearing in mind that they do understand the situation you are in. However, they only present the facts about life and not the truth. We became captives of our emotions since we tend to escape the real freedom we need. We raised our banner and wail out our battle cries but we really are not fighting. We are not really doing anything but wait for the answers that isn’t coming eventually the aftermath is we remain captives of our own prison.

    We are in a circle full of conflicts that sometimes it is way beyond our understanding. Sometimes, it is way beyond their understanding. Many of us listen, yes we do, but do we discern the truth from lies? A counsel from righteous people is good and sometimes we learn from the unrighteous standpoint. However, these matter-of-facts-truth-or-lie standpoints can only lead us to vague equations in resolving our conflicts. For some reasons, we cannot tell who is telling the truth or not. We are falling slowly and upon hearing their counsels we are piled up and the solution we can only think of is to surrender not knowing that the only solution we need to do is to really surrender. We’ve waited and wasted important times in our lives dwelling in finding the solution to the conflicts we are facing. But we actually need not to dwell on listening to vast opinions only to one voice is more than enough. We just need to lie down and surrender everything we have to our Father where all the while he is just waiting for us to call. All this time of fighting he is covering us with his love but we barely notice it because we are very much pre-occupied with the thought that we can face the battleground with our own strength and might. As we pour out humility amongst ourselves and surrender our yoke to GOD, trust in his faithfulness, we therefore can live a free storm proof life.
