Friend matters

Working in the library sometimes give me a very good chance to see how people interact, smile, laugh, and express their feelings and thought through my desk in the CAC (Closed Access Collection) room. From there I learn a little bit about the uniqueness of each person in dealing with circumstances. And the more I realize that in reality, we can not simply live simply looking for pleasant things and seeking for the most comfortable ones. Inevitably, we deal with the things which are uncomfortable and unpleasant in our days which God allows in his wisdom. He is all love and ever good. His wisdom and love surpasses my weak and lame understanding which sometimes 'skewed' that is to prefer pleasure than the edifying but uncomfortable moments.

Eventually, I want to thank God for the things which He has done so awesomely and yet in my limitation I could not see nor understand. And actually living together with friends and having some interactions and sharing has provided me great opportunity to learn from each other, to see my own weaknesses and the goodness of others :). As it is said in Proverb 27:17:
[As] iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. (NKJV)

Lord have mercy! Grant Thy unworthy servant O Lord to deal with my brothers and sisters which Thou has sent me in peace and love. Lord, grant me humility and compassion to care, to involve and to give myself to Thy beloved ones, since they too have so many needs and struggle, but Thou has called me to help them according to the Love which Thou hast upon me. Amen!
