Exactly 2 months to 9 years in Christ. God didn't and will not perfect everything in my life cos it's me who need to be perfect, just as He is perfect.
We have so many expectations from others, from society and obviously even from our Creator.
Lord, make me a vessel of this shape, like that person so I can serve You like that person.
Excuse me, aren't you just a vessel, to be made according to the way I have planned it? And who says that you need to be like that person? You are not that person!
As a person who is uniquely different just like everyone else, how do I expect the society to treat me?
Awareness and education of the public towards people with disabilities, mental illness and whatever condition is necessary.
Knowing the limitations of what humans can do is very important too.
The moment I step out of my house, I'm faced with very nice people and sometimes really not too nice remarks.
Can we say society is not aware? The fact is, we cannot control what others say or do towards people they view as 'weird' or whatever.
In fact, everyone faces the same issue from others. Someone will not like the way you talk, your eyes, your mannerisms, your dressing...
Even I am learning to accept myself through the love of Christ, engraving His word in my mind and heart that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made and our souls know that very well.
I will praise Him for His marvelous works, even when others or I can't see it as thoroughly as Him.
We all struggle with ourselves.
But we all excel in pointing the blame to others cos it takes the burden off us to look deep into ourselves and see the ugliness and imperfection in us.
Others need to be perfect, not me.
Others ought to accomodate me; I don't need to change.
Society needs to accept me, even when I can't accept myself.
If my condition deteriorates, excuse me, it's the fault of others, not me.
Sure, we can blame others and the society for whatever that happens to us.
But in the end, we are the ones who suffer.
Precious time and resources are lost in not taking responsibility for self.
Relationships are broken and badly affected cos the self is exalted.
Lessons are not learnt and this life is wasted cos we spend it making the same mistakes.
When the focus is on man, we will lose.
When we finally look up and see that all along, Help has never left, Hope is never lost and Love has long arrived before our arrival on earth.
I stand here and look on.
What can I do?
Who will believe me when I say God is the answer to all of life's problems?
He didn't and will not perfect my life on earth.
He is already my perfection.
