None as wonderful as jesus

One interesting thing about lushates is how quickly they bond through the lush sessions, actually more so through the group chat. 

The group is made up primarily of 2 groups of people. The younger ones and the older ones (what rubbish right?). Well, the younger ones are more active on the group chat. The older ones seem to be more occupied by work and respond periodically. I admire their patience to have the phone beep incessantly, and then they respond a while later after taking their time to read the chats. I guess that's what brings people closer together. The regular communication.

We have a pretty young believer in the group, young spiritually. She's a delight to have because she is keen to learn. During bible study, though she may be lost at times, it is evident she eagerly wants to know more about God.

I can't say if I were jaded or perhaps seen too much in life. Whenever a young believer gets high and delighted in the things of the Lord, aside from encouraging them to keep growing, I try to bring in the fact (gently) that things will not be so high and happy all the time: true to my belief, two recently converted friends exhibited more weariness than that "high" I used to see.

That's the danger in putting our faith on anything or anyone other than our Lord himself. Everything and everyone will fail. Circumstances will not be positive all the time. But if we fix our eyes on Jesus, whose love for us is unfailing, who remains our rock and anchor despite of changing circumstances, we perhaps can get through the storms of life without as much hardship because we know that everything will be alright in the end (if not, it's not the end - quoting that Marigold movie. hiak hiak)
