Wet

Life isn't always easy. There would be times when the road would be slippery and we all feel anxious driving on a crooked lane lubricated by the angry rain. There were times when I had to walk the five kilometer distance between my place and my school when two big wheeled cans would reenact the Twisted Metal game, causing disturbances along the narrow highways of our country. Life wasn't really meant to be easy. I have to admit, I myself have ran from the bites of life a lot of times, I mean, LOTS OF TIMES. And tonight, my calm has been disturbed again. Surely, the next days, my face would show forced smiles again. This storm is so frightening and I can't help but cover my face again. Fear is slowly eating my soul, and I can't help but wrestle with the Master Gardener. Only under the care of my Master can I actually rest. The storm might bring more rain, but His hands are strong enough to cover me with His big umbrellas, big enough to cover five thousand people eating loaves of bread and pieces of fish. And every time this rain comes, He will surely run to stretch His arms wide to carry His umbrellas. There were times though when He would just watch at me getting wet and for whatever reason, He's smiling, He's smiling at that scene. Me, getting wet all over. But there's one thing that is always sure, He'll never allow me to be totally soaked in the flood for a long time. When the flood rises too much, with a loud voice, I will surely hear Him say, "Be still!", and the flood will subside, the storm will die down. And this is what removes a forced smile on my face. Whenever I recall how this Gardener has worked to keep me safe and pleasant to Him, fear flies away. No matter how terrorizing the storm is, I can always be still, because my Gardener can do, and will do everything to keep His front lawn pleasant to His eyes. In this, I will have to say, life may not be easy, but the Creator assures us of a life worth living. So I won't mind being stepped on again..
