You are Good...always

Talk about being a man. I cried on the way home. HAR.

Love this analogy from Lucado. He walks in to the museum with his wife and kids, and when everyone walks past the Mona Lisa, they'll be in awe. That is da-pit-stop, where tourists from all around the world all stand still and marvel at the majesty and beauty of it. From everyone, you'll hear the WAAAH's and the WHOOOOO's. Everyone, except Max himself. He's the only one ain't enjoying it. Why? Because he's carrying all the luggage of his wife and kids. When you have tons of baggage on your shoulders, it's already a wonder if you can stand in front of the picture and say," You are beautiful."

We carry the baggages of life everywhere with us, so much so that it takes the wonder of life itself away. Why isit that some people can just....ENJOY life?!? A lot of them are slackers, and one thing they do best is leaving their baggage behind. Not to encourage the habit of slacking, but there's really something to learn from them.

There's stubborn luggage though. Some hook themselves onto us. Just when you thought it was over, you realise that there's a dead knot from your shirt to the handle. The wheels stuck to your shoes.

THE PAIN ENGRAVED IN YOUR HEART.

THE HURTS DRILLED IN YOUR MIND.

THE HAUNTING MEMORIES THAT PUT GHOSTS TO SHAME.

Lord You never hurt us; You only comfort us.
Lord You never betray us; You only remain faithful.
Lord You never bring sorrow; for joy flows from You abundantly.

Lord You are good.

there's nothing wrong in crying man. in fact i think guys who would admit they cry is more admirable than those who refuse to. :D may you stick so close to Jesus and let Him be your comfort.
