My good fren in university used to say I'm very stingy with praises. Having studied social work, I asked myself, "How can it be?" Though we lost contact, I remembered her words and learnt to be more verbal in appreciating others.
There was no goodbye when my mum passed on. There were many years of unresolved grief but today when I remember her, she and I have shared so much for 19 years that she had no doubt that I love her. An unfortunate death but a life of no regret with the woman I admire most in my life and whom I learn from.
As we grow older, the words hidden in our heart get buried deeper. I look at the Bible. So many words. If our God doesn't reveal, we won't know His heart. Same for people. If we take too long to show our care and concern, if we are afraid to warn for fear of man, if love is hidden and cannot be shown, what good is love?
The unpredictability of life is such that we have no time to waste in showing our love to anyone who crosses our path. We never know when is the last time.
Pride is the longest distance between two people. And God does warn us about our pride. It is our enemy and only God who is Love in us can fight it!
Don't take too long to say what needs to be said. We don't always have the chance to wait.
