Was talking to a friend who felt she needed to explain why she did not contact for the past few days. And when she said that she did it to make sure i know she cares and she really treat me well, I was then reminded wat I read this morning and I read it for her.
Child 1 -Mummy,I love you. But off he went to play forgetting that he had to help. His mum had to do it on her own
Child 2 - Mummy, I love you. But she was grouchy for half a day. Mummy was glad when she went out to play.
Child 3 - Mummy, I love you. She quietly swept the floor, packed the room, wash the dishes.
When the 3 children were ready to sleep, they said - mummy I love you. Which child does the mummy thinks her child love her???
At first it was merely out of fun when I find it so appropriate to share the "story" with her. Later I realise that even this little thing form part of the "ALL" as stated in
Rom 8 : 28 - And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, those who are called according to His purpose.
I was reminded again of the "ALL" when I recall msn exchange with another friend who encourage me to be like the plane - taking off - it has to go thru a long runaway, but when it take off, it will be on cruise mode. Do not abort(do not give up now tho it has not been easy)!!! Then after settling one of my reports, I saw this interesting article -
The Butterfly Principleby Os Hillman, September 13, 2007
The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly. - Exodus 14:8
Overprotective parents do their children a great injustice. The caterpillar that lies inside the cocoon will never become the beautiful butterfly if someone cuts open the cocoon prematurely. It is the struggle itself that allows the butterfly to emerge as a strong, new creature of nature.God understands how necessary this process is. That is why we are allowed to experience difficult, often life-changing events.
He even orchestrates them-all for our benefit. What the Israelites thought was a cruel joke when Pharaoh sent troops to pursue them after they had been freed and penned against the shore of the Red Sea became the stage for the most publicized miracle of all time-the parting of the Red Sea.
Generation after generation has heard this incredible story of deliverance. God puts us against the "Red Seas" in order to show His power in and through us. If we do not know God can deliver, then we can never learn to trust Him. Circumstances that go beyond our capabilities of solving them place us at God's complete mercy. This is how He likes it.
Do not fear the calamity that comes your way. If you are faithful to Him in the test, you will see God's power manifested like never before. Just as the Israelites were able to sing a song of deliverance, you too will have your own testimony of the Lord's faithfulness; and you will be able to recall it for others to build your faith and theirs.
Hmm... even this little details He looks into.....What else is there tat is not part of His ALL????
