So, tomorrow is my the christening of my childhood best friend's baby. I was cutting my fingernails while thinking of something to wear. I just couldn't think of something to wear, so, I've started to think why we need to think of something to wear when attending to an event or even if we're just going out.
Like at home, do you wear cocktail dress? We're usually undressed, right? We never wear clothes that makes us uncomfortable. In fact, for women, we don't wear bra at all when we're at home, right? Unlike when we're going out or attending an event, we usually worry of what we should wear to stand out or even just to fit in. But most of the people we see in events or even just in malls are strangers, aren't they? Most of the people there are the ones we barely see or wouldn't see at all. YES, we take extra effort to look good for total strangers unconsciously!
Likewise in friendship, notice that if we get really really close to someone, we become rude to them? OK, maybe not really rude but we sometimes don't treat them very special compare to the way we treat them when we just first getting to know them. Unlike those new people in our lives that are already our friends (but not really close), we treat them extra special. Like we usually text them in a nice way with smileys or we always say OK to everything they ask even if it's not ok at all sometimes! :D
Which makes me think of our relationship with God! :) We choose to please other people rather than God! In fact, we set aside God all the time! NO? Just me? Oh, c'mon!
What do we usually do when we wake up in the morning? Look for your cellphone? Look for something to eat or wear? Go on facebook? Tweet? :O Can't we just pause and thank God for another day and say a little prayer the moment our eyes officially open? :)
We set aside Him because we know that He's always there for us. That He's just one prayer away, which is true! Yes, He's always there for us and He forgives BUT can you call it relationship when you remember Him when you just need something?
You see, sometimes, God becomes too familiar to us! He's like AIR. Can you imagine earth without air? Air sustains life here on earth. That's how important air is but do we always realize that? Do we always acknowledge the importance of it? Or even just the thought of having it? Do we notice air at all? :O Just like God, imagine life without Him? Do we always acknowledge His presence? When we are out with our friends having fun, do we even remember Him? :)
Aside from that, air is invisible! Can you see air? But we know its existence, right?
Just like God, we cannot see Him BUT most of us believe that He exist. We worship Him, we trust Him..
That's FAITH. We walk by faith and not by sight. And He is the only One who knows US. Yes, only HIM PERIOD. :)
So there, this is pretty long that's why I put it here. Can't believe I made this far :))
And the sad part is, can't still think of something to wear for tomorrow! HAHA!
