Hope for the Flowers: Three-Point Shot
just wanna share my reflection paper in NSTP about the story Hope for the Flowers..
“Are you willing to lose everything for the thing you are dying to have?” This was the question that is annoyingly repeated by my brain during the whole discussion. “Am I supposed to be happy when all I ever wanted comes with a price”, as one song goes. We all want something in life or I may say we all want everything good that life has to offer. But we must take into consideration the things we are ready to GIVE UP because of the things we ought to FIGHT FOR. God doesn’t give you everything you want, He just provides you with the things you need, therefore if you want something badly and you got it be ready that something of the equal value will be lost, turning the table around, when you lost something really important to you He will replace it with something of the equal value and or knows even MORE than that. In nothingness…God gives us everything…
We may have all the best things in life or we may have the worst things in life. Yet we always get tired of everything. At some point in our lives we get tired and we don’t even know why. And because we’re tired, we’re always looking for something new, for something better, for greater things, for excitement, but we never know that the things that means most to us or the best things in life are just AROUND. We just don’t see them or we just don’t want to see them.
There are lots of ‘yellow’ that comes into our lives and teaches us lessons and opens our eyes to the things we must really see, but most of the time we tend to ignore them because we are more focused on our personal goals than the importance of what they are telling us. We are just concerned of our own happiness not knowing that we are the happiness of another.
Life is SHORT. Indeed it is, yet the time given to us is enough for us to learn and enjoy everything in it. God has His plan and all we need to do is go with the flow, take where the current takes you, and from where you fell and where you got up all you need to do is LEARN. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve done wrong, as the church says, we are entitled for our sins, but it also doesn’t mean that it is okay to sin, it could be forgivable for the first time, yet when you already know what’s wrong, though it is the most complicated part, for me that’s the time to STOP and think about it, LOOK how you’ve affected others around you and LISTEN to what your conscience has to say.
