Every time I open my YM and my emails, messages would pop out from friends expressing their sympathy, hope on my situation and I guess I've never felt so blessed to have such people around me.
Come to think of it, this situation I am in is not as big as a matter of life and death to provoke people with such reactions. There's a lot of other pertinent things to worry about, like that rice shortage, oil and basic necessities price hike. But then, here they are, telling me that they'll pray for me and how I love them more.
This somehow reminds me of the book It's Not About Me by Max Lucado. In one of his chapters, he posed the question, are people strengthened by your struggles? "Your faith in the face of suffering cranks up the volume of God's song."
Maybe my situation, as simple as it can be, had somehow made other people look once more to their long-forgotten faith in hopes that their prayers will help me. Whatever, I am ready to accept this unfortunate event anyway. It's not a messianic thought to compensate whatever desperation I feel. If God will be glorified in whatever that is happening, I will smile and welcome it with open arms. Because in the first place, (Romans 11: 36) "[f]or from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To God be the glory forever!"
