In the past month, not a day has passed where my nights aren't long and my mornings not dreary. There have been several incidents in which I have been forced to check myself and all that I have stood for. In retrospect, I really thank God for these events, difficult to accept as they were. They way I see it, these events have made me realise that my identity and security does not solely lie in those around me, but also, and most importantly, with the One who gave up His life for me.
Like the Proverbs quote: 'As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another (NIV).' Such events, uncomfortable as they are, are crucial in life to prepare us for what God has in store for us down the road. It may be difficult for me to look people in the eye for a while as I'm still recovering from the ordeal, but the future glitters with a bright hope of perfection in Jesus Christ. This phoenix will rise again, burning stronger and fiercer than ever before.
