'In Christ Alone' is a song I heard last monday when ma'am Net, my Social Psychology teacher, presented to us this sort of music video as our opening prayer before we start our class. Truthfully, at that moment I was nearing the edge of losing hope. Or to be more specific, losing faith. Last week, when I was in my wavering moment, kinukulit ko si Bro for signs. Signs to assure me that He's listening to my prayers. That He's answering it. I wanted assurance that there is really nothing to worry about.
Until I heard the song..
...my strength and my hope is Christ alone..
I remembered feeling teary eyed. I wanted to cry, but I dont wanna make any drama inside the class so I kept it in. But inside my heart was a myriad play of emotions. Bliss, shame, relief..
My sister was right. Whatever happened to the strong girl that I have always been bragging? Just because of a simple paranoia and my faith was slowly going the drain and replacing it with fear.'sigh'
You might then be wondering what I wanted to point out here. Well, it's just simple. My title tells it all. IN CHRIST ALONE, EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. IN CHRIST ALONE, WE FIND OUR REFUGE. IN CHRIST ALONE, WE FIND OUR HEALER. IN CHRIST ALONE, WE FIND LOVE AND JOY.
I've learned my lesson. And that's not to lose faith even if life smack us real hard. Because in faith, God would cushion our falls, absorb all our pains, and would always hold on to our hands,even if were not doing the same thing.
---and, oh yeah, before I forget. PRAYER WORKS. Nakikinig si Bro and sinasagot niya tayo. After all, were His brothers and sisters. He has no reasons to disregard our prayers. So my friends, keep praying. Humawak lang tayo kay Bro. We'll all be fine. ;)
