Wasted

People tend to over exert themselves with the matters of this dreadful world. There is always a choice of whether you help yourself or help the person sitting next to you. Most of the time decisions are made based upon what benefits you. What doesn’t benefit you now may benefit you sometime in a later life. Always look for those who would help you along the way in life. As said in Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. If you refuse to seek the help then learn to examine yourself. Take the time to figure out when are you “most complete, most integrated”? Return to the place, that situation, to regain the healthy sense of self that is so easily lost in our worlds clamor and chaos. What we need to do is channel our ingenuity to something positive. Don’t be so consumed in life’s problems. Sometimes we waste our time and energy on petty things that we feel isn’t going to benefit us but if we make the best of it, it just might. It might even add some closure to a part of your life. Moments of being most complete, most integrated, have come either in complete solitude or when being part of a body made of many people going in the same direction. A vivid example is a great symphony orchestra, where each instrument is completely necessary for the whole; a violin can not take place of a trombone, nor the cymbals of a harp; and there are even more times when the lowly triangle is the focus of the music.

We all face dangers and heartaches in life because we live in a lost and fallen world. But in the midst of all these difficulties we can be absolutely confident that we are no left alone to deal with them.
