I've been taking things for granted

I realise that...after being in church for too long...one tends to take for granted the blessings that we have in our lives. We forget who we were before we became Christians, and instead we start to doubt, we start to think: "is the grass greener on the other side?"

Since my days in army, I've always had the assurance that things will always work out fine for me. Even though the situation doesn't seem like it, there's this voice always egging me on...telling me: "Terence, you can do it. Everything's gonna be alright. Everything's gonna work out fine. All things will work good towards those who love Me."

That has been God's voice all along. And there were times when I started to doubt. So I prayed: "God, let me know how real you are once more."

Who else on earth can have the assurance, this voice only inside of us telling us everything is going to work out fine? Where else can we find the peace in our hearts that many others find elusive? Where can we find a friend who will always be there for us, who will always listen to us complain and throw a tantram?

There's only one person: and his name is Jesus.
