Celebrating Life in Your Presence
Life has no ever-fixed mark. It is a pursuit to move forward, to add splendor, to meet a destination, and to keep moving forward again.
Every year, we all receive an
opportunity to be better. It is quite similar to being born again. A new chance
to make things right comes up. Or a new chance to simply breathe a new life is
made available to us.
Life, as our Maker has provided as a
gift, is usually spent in accordance to our desires. We all desire for
something in this world. And every year, people wish us for the desires of our
hearts to be fulfilled and to come to life. Whether those desires come true or
not is a question left unanswered until one has lived a full life.
I passed the quarter of a century. A
new quarter has just begun. At this moment, the question still remains
unanswered. But living a full life is more than just the desires for
self-preservation, satisfaction, attachment, relationship, fame, and success.
When one has realized this, living a full life involves a deeper meaning. A
life that does not focuses neither on self nor others but the Maker.
You’re
all I want. You’re all I need. You’re everything.
-Everything,
Lifehouse
I resonate very much with those
words. When I danced to it five years ago, I knew that my life would change. He
is everything that I want and need. And now that I am a year older, it does not
change anything. In fact, the fire just burns more within and desires Him.
I may not have achieved a successful
life at this age yet. But I am more than joyful to have an opportunity to simply
breathe. Being alive is the greatest gift. It is a sign to keep moving forward
for there are a lot to learn and a lot to teach in this world. This is just a
beginning of another year of newness and betterment.
Life will not always end in happy endings but
it is a beautiful gift to each one of us. How we spend our lives will mirror our
desires. This year, like Esther, "I think not of thyself." I desire less of myself and of others and more and more of
my Maker. I desire an intimate and a personal relationship with Him. And any
other desire of my heart will come from Him. He alone
dominates my life. His will be done.
May the question whether this
burning desire comes fulfilled or not be answered every single year until I
achieved a full life. May the answer always be a joyful praise. This is my main
objective, my one desire, and my only prayer.
"The wise in heart shall be called prudent and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning." -Proverbs 16:21
