God understands

I have been attending the week of spiritual emphasis here in AUP. Despite the busy schedule, I find time to go to church or listen to the radio to receive GOD’s message through Pastor Willie Hucks.  He gave different messages since Monday morning until this coming saturday. There are times that I just sit at the back because sometimes I am late or in a hurry to go back to work.  But then, there was no instance that I was not blessed by his message.  All of the messages are spiritually uplifting and one of those messages was the topic on, “GOD understands.”  Let me share my reflection.

Pastor Hucks related stories on how GOD understands our situations.  He mentioned that the person next to us, or probably the person we are close with, we walk with, and talk with doesn’t know the struggle we are bearing, but GOD does.  We expect to be understood, but when we relate to them how we feel, we don’t feel understood.  I agree with what Pastor Hucks delivered.  Not all people we work with and deal with understand our situation.  There are deep seated pains, hurts, and problems we ought to keep to our self.  We are afraid to be misunderstood by the people around us. But GOD understands what ever situation we are in.  And so, he ended by saying that, “Where ever we are in our life right now, good or bad, happy or sad, JESUS understands.”  Such powerful words.  It encouraged me to be closer to my GOD and be more open on how I feel about my life.  The message assured me that I have a GOD who cares about my plea and understands my situation. 

I am grateful to GOD that I have this opportunity to listen to His message in the middle of the busy day.  I am thankful to AUP for this kind of spiritual program. We are encouraged to attend and not considered absent in our work.  I know that not all of us have this kind of opportunity in our workplace. But I believe, you can make it possible for you to be spiritually blessed in the middle of the day. Maybe through a prayer before you eat your lunch, a walk or chat with your workmate on how your day went.  A smile or greetings with a stranger. And in those simple acts, probably, you will feel blessed and will be a blessing to that person.  And, you probably made that person feel that GOD understands.
