Sunday Reflection: Close to You
Posted by AmorCielo | Under Reflections Sunday Jul 24, 2011Scripture: Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8
Everyone sees me as the ever jolly and brave girl who will fight for them when we are on the right side…family and close friends looked at me as their clown when they are down and a defender when they are oppressed. But I am just human, there are times that when I feel that I just want to be quiet for the day, the common question that I will receive is that they are asking if I am awfully sick…But there are times that problems also struck me and during this time of being down, I usually turn to Our Lord God for solace. I seldom share my problems to others, call me a selfish friend but it is ME, this is my character, God my Protector will listen to my woes, angst and sadness.
This bible phrase is very appropriate to my situation right now since my family is really undergoing through a tough times right now. My DH has to work abroad since financials seems so hard to sustain, leaving us a Pamilyang OFW, loving one another but away from one another. But I know that God is close to me and my family. When the rest of the world walks out, Our Lord God starts to walk in closer to our lives.

I think you are not selfish. There are times when we are really down we want to detach ourselves from the others. That’s the time to reflect to think things over with no distractions. Yes, we are only human. We can be hype sometimes and also we find ourselves in a problematic situation. Somehow, God is with us and we can rely on him, rain or shine.
