Currently at a wedding dinner and feeling emotional; pondering on the things that have happened and wondering what’s relationship?
You know every time on a wedding dinner, there’ll always be a video to tell guests the lives of the couples. Those are the memories and the past only both of them shared and went through together. To me I don’t even know the couples and I’m like .. “oh ok ..” I’ve no relationship with them.
What keeps a relationship and make the bond strong? Isn’t it the experiences we went through together, be it as a family or friends, leaving in us the memories. We don’t always have each other by our side but memories are always with us.
Psalm 77:11-12
I will remember the works of the LORD; surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all Your work, and talk of Your deeds.
What’s written on these verses are things that have been passed, the works and deeds of old. Remembering all these allow us to know how blessed we are and help us when we don’t feel the presence of those we missed.
I believe faith and trust are essential in any relationship and by these through the memories we have encourages us in times of doubts and disputes. We are imperfect and I always remember to give and take and of course at times I feel so difficult to give but remembering what Jesus done to me, I managed to do it to others as well.
Security is also very important which I feel that God is teaching me. On dictionary.com security is freedom from care, anxiety and doubt. I think at times I feel too much for someone that I felt disappointed after realizing he/she don’t even feel and care about it himself/herself. I’m too insecure. I think security is letting go and giving them freedom and not having them onto ourselves. It is also giving them room to make mistakes and not weaver and doubt them. This is love.
I often thought that close relationship is one that have each other in mind, having physical touches through their presence, sight, words and actions and feeling important. I thought if only I can experience all these then I’ll feel secure but time and time again I’m reminded that no one is perfect. Gonna learn to be secure, having faith and trust.
