Choices in his Solace

Choices in his Solace

BY: SOFIA ARANTE- JUNIOR D, CN7

This Sunday Gospel only entitles an another witness of the great plans and blessings of God ahead of us. Accordingly, as he stated on his first few verses, he meant to say that he has narrowed down his intentions in life for us already. For indeed, he is God, a powerful man that is here to protect and sketch what is entitled for each one of us. And as Christian, all we have to do is to believe and have that certainty that as long as we are in God’s arms, we find solace.

I am a normal person, experiencing abhorrent and implacable happiness in times that vary. Through the circulation of life, I am able to let myself dig in to new risks and new outcomes. One thing that I have vigorously realised and apprehended in this 15 years of journey of mine is that— all you have to do is to let God and take risks. All the source of these blessings, or even problems that we have faced, facing, and will be attracting is all up to him. All of those arrived for a distinctive time and perfect reason to wake us up from all the things that we have been taking for granted. As a teenage girl, I have confronted a lot of problems and challenging tasks that miraculously, I had survived. Often, I question God, “is this what you really want?” or better off, “is there a real God?”. From these formulated questions that boiled down out of my curiosity while in the process of my own problems, I have seen how inconsistent my faith has been. I believe that many teenagers have gone through this phase; however, one thing’s for sure, I know that despite all this God will keep on writing on my own scroll to uphold what is still in tact for me. Honestly, life is an enigma— there are a lot of mysteries that cannot be elaborated without further experiencing such. We just have to plant to our minds every single second has been planned for us for a betterment of his passage, his words. There can never be a day where we could just let God desolate on his own for he is our only hope of guidance and much more of in attaining a good christian life.

Above all these, we should not only need any gospels to wake us up from the things we have been disregarding because of living in remembering and forgetting about living. Before we even existed, there were thousands of words laid down for each one of us already. All we have to do is to take time to scroll and go through the pages to reach challenges that could either make us strong or characterise us in fervid emotions of weakness— it’s all up to us. We should not just entrust the cause and effect of every scenarios in our lives for our choices are what lead us to the wrong path of God’s promises.
