God's Boxes


I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me.."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

RS20 Comment


Well anyways, though wala ako sa reporting ng group namin last January 30, 2011. My ideas and thoughts about it was that Jesus wanted me to deny my prideful heart <3. Before I was one of the Intramural Aggie Karatedo player in our College yet my mother wants me to quit it, my pride was now moved and I became stubborn, in my Quiet time(prayer and meditation of God's Word) the Lord rebuked me through a book about stubborn daughters, there I learned my lesson in a hard way and a day before the tournament I quit. I obeyed late which is still disobedience. Delayed obedience is still disobedience.

One more thing is that about my father. I had hated my father so much before for he had left us, battered my mom when they were still leaving together ( shared by my grandmother to me) and he was able to dare to sell me in a muslim couple who cannot have their own child. I couldn't afford to believe how would a father do that to his own blood and flesh- daughter. In my childhood days, pride, anger and selfish desires manipulate me... which later on God wants me to let go of it. For as a Christian I was able to know that the Lord had loved and forgiven me so must I to myself and to my father. I am now starting to love and long for my biological father this was possible because my Heavenly Father who was with me all time had loved me first, with an unconditional love.


Healthy heart na po ako ngayon!
For the Lord had Heal my heart already from all bitterness of yesterday.
