The two people in my life who has shown me how to forgive and be merciful, how has so much love it's superhuman. A true reflection of who Jesus is.
Yesterday, my parents were not home when I reached home, which is a rare affair. Minutes, hours passed and they still hasn't returned. It was now 11.30pm and usually, they are the ones who cannot stay awake past 10pm. Even If they were out, they would make up some excuse to come home earlier.
Then, my overactive imagination had to torture me by thinking that they met with some misfortune. What made it worse was that I was trying to sleep and I couldn't? How could anyone? With the anticipation that I'll get a phone call from the hospital the next moment?
At that very moment, I felt what my parents must have been feeling every night I stayed out late. Worried sick till they couldn't sleep. And even worse, I never even tell them when I wasn't coming home. I just simply stayed out.
It was painful to realize how much pain I've given my parents over the years. But I'm glad that that phase is now over. The thought of losing them has made me cherish them even more, because I really really can't live without them, not yet.
But of course, m parents are home safe and sound, but this incident has taught m to cherish my parents so much more. This love that I feel for them, is so much that I cannot express, yet it is a mere fraction of how much God loves each and everyone of us. Truly, how great is our God.
Im more than ready to welcome 2014 together with my LORD :)
