Love Letter from a Pen

Dear Author,

    Good day, Sir! I would just like to let you on in a secret... At this point of my existence, I know that you are aware that I am already tired of thinking why did an overqualified and award-winning writer like you have chosen me as a tool for creating his masterpiece. When in fact, I am definitely no extraordinary pen. I actually don't function well, especially when the weather is cold, for my ink is somewhat drying up due to the coldness I feel inside. Nevertheless, I have come to realize that I must prevent such questions to clutter in my head, for I must be more than grateful for you held me in your hand and trasformed me from uselessness to usefulness. Extending my gratitude is an understatement for me to let you know how thankful I am to you.

    I have lots of shortcomings: one would be my dependence on my own ink, thinking that it will never ran out; second would be, being consistently inconsistent in pouring out my ink to things that are unworthy of it; third would mean boastfulness, for the times that I think that I write letters alone forgetting that it is only by your hand holding me that I am able to do something.

    Thank you Sir for not letting go of me... If there's one thing I'll ask from you, I think it will be the request to use me more to fill so many pages of another's notebook to inspire them that apart from you, the pen they see can do nothing. And that apart from you it can never write something... You always leave me awestrucked and dumbfounded at how you are able to use so many pens simultaneously, but that I will not question. For it was already given that you are inenarrable and that you are able to do things far more that what pens can imagine or even think of. For that I give you all my ink... and will praise you even up to the last drop of ink I could shed.

                                                                                                            Loving you lots,
                                                                                                            Your chosen Pen
                                                                                                      

Trust in the Midst of Pain

    Love doesn't hurt; it cannot and will never can. But rejection does hurt, so as loneliness, and the fear of losing your beloved. Love is the most misused word in the entire human race and in the whole wide world, mainly bacause of how vague and absurd the world gives meaning to it. Love didn't hurt, do not hurt, and will never hurt - all because God is equilibrium with love.  

    Being hurt is inevitable for no one is exempted from feeling it, and often than not, the ones who break your heart are also those you love the most. Ironic, indeed... but it is just very comforting to know that God isn't blind for Him not to see the ocean of deep pain you are into. Moreover, God ain't deaf for Him not to hear your cries. It's just that He is silent at times to test your faith.

    The story of Jesus' disciples in Luke 18:22-25 will give you a gist on what am I trying to point out. One day, Jesus and his disciples got into a boat, and he commanded them to cross the lake and Jesus went to sleep. Suddenly, the sky got mad and whined like a roaring lion, it rained so hard that it caused the boat to almost sink. So, the disciples woke up Jesus and told him the scenario... Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the waves to calm down and they obeyed Him, as if nothing happened. Jesus was somewhat disheartened for His apostles' lack of faith.

    God at times is silent and asks nothing from us, aside from being a little more patient to put our trust in Him...

    Love itself is beautiful. It is not love but you, who inflicts pain to your own heart for giving away your love to someone, without a righteous cause. God knows your heart so well even those things you never tell. God sometimes doesn't give you what you want because He will give you what He knows you need.

    Entrust to God every detail of your life, even your love story and voila! Things will be oh so fine, I assure you. : )
