Often, we question the untoward events in our lives... We ask why things don't happen according to our plans... We are dumbfounded by the sudden change in status quo...
Just yesterday, the fiance of my friend passed away due to heart attack... Who would have thought that a first time myocardial infarction would occur in a 30-year old, non-obese, non-smoker? And worst, for it to be fatal... And now we have questions lingering on our minds... Why him? Why now? Why?!
Sometimes, the answer is a given... If we are lucky, we will see the other side of the story and realize why God allowed things to happen... But sometimes, just like yesterday, we just can't comprehend God's mysterious ways... A seamless relationship had to end -- forever... Why?!?
But life is not questioning God but accepting His will... That brings us to our faith in Him... Whatever happens in our life, He is in control... And we can never falter...
For us still here, we are reminded of our existence in this world...
... that life can end anytime and we may not even reach the realization of our dreams...
... that life is so short to be filled with sadness and regrets...
... that life should be lived with happiness and joy...
... that we should try to touch the lives of others through your own lives; coz in the end, it's not our achievements that are remembered, but the goodness we've shown to others...
... that we must leave good memories in every person that we meet; so that even if we must go ahead, our memory will live in their hearts......
... that God has a reason for everything and no human mind can comprehend that...
... that this world is not our permanent dwelling place; our journey and struggle goes on to make us closer to Paradise...
We ask God, "Why?"... God tells us, "Why not? It's for the best anyway!"
