Life is like a...

I don't even know what object I can compare it with.

I woke up this morning, feeling as if a bubble which surrounded me for the longest time has just exploded. All my life, I felt like I was living in my own safe and secluded world not knowing what it would be like to go beyond the horizons of reality.

And yet, within this one crazy month of experiences, shocking revelations, people and places which seem to mirror real situations, I felt like I was awakened to see everything in a different perspective.

That it's a jungle out there, that in order to succeed you must assert yourself, that in every decision you make out will come a consequence that will affect your future. That there are times where it seems like you will never get what you hoped for, that sometimes in order to grow you should just surrender, face your fears and trust God.

Now I feel peaceful. And blessed. That no matter how stubborn and selfish I am, He still finds ways to keep me within His circle of guidance. I wish more people would experience this kind of peace, this security that I will be joyful wherever He takes me until I see Him.

Lord, please help me to always reflect your love even with how imperfect I am. Tell me all the right things to say and do.
