So recently I had to become a 'tukang paip' (plumber) as I finally had a go at the kitchen sink facet, already 10yrs old, it had sprung an irritating drip which I've ignored until the kitchen master (wifey) brought up this drippy issue again.
To prep, I had taken a flash picture of the underneath to analyse what it looked like. Looking at the pic I noticed what looked like a 'crack' in the cylindrical cement hole. That picture froze me.
It played into my fears that somehow the foundation has shifted and the cement crack just played into my fears. (too long a story..)
In the end when I finally got under the sink to 'cho kang', I saw it wasn't a crack but just an uneven finish which gave an illusion it was a crack.
Haiyah!
The point of this post is NOT to actually believe everything we see; our eyes and emotions can deceive us, play havoc and amplify our fears. We shouldn't fall into this trap.
Fears, anxieties, and doubt is not what our Father wants us to 'see'. Instead we should intentionally see and focus on His goodness over our lives.
Bcos He lives and has a good plan for us,.. we also live in his blessings.
A simple life lesson played out under the sink. If you feel like life is sinking (no pun intended) and hopelessness has taken hold, it may not be what you think ...turn your eyes.
Our Hope is Jesus.
Sekian terima kasih!
