Mighty to Save

'Compassion'.. every time I hear that word, it reminds me of the song Mighty to Save by Hillsong United.
If we google that word though, there are few synonyms 'pity - mercy - sympathy - commiseration - ruth - clemency'.
'Pity', I dislike that word! I don't like being pitied, I mean, who does? Being pitied sounds like a lost little puppy on the street in a rainy day. You can't help but feel sorry for it. It is different than actually care for someone.

Be it as it may, 'everyone needs compassion', right?
We all know that one person that seems to be always in trouble but whenever being asked, he/she said they don't wanna talk about it.
It gets old fast, but I think at the end of the day, we have to think as our Father. What would He do? Let's face it, toward our Father, we are just like that one person that we know. Most times, we are in trouble yet instead of talking to Him about it, we chose to..hm.. I don't know be all grumpy, annoyed, angry, or whatever else.
But then EVERY time, He is always there for us, in His merciful way taking care of us.
I know no matter how annoying I've been, He is always there for me. Love that's never failing indeed.

With Him in mind, I'm trying my very best to talk to this friend of mine that seems to be in trouble a lot. Tell you the truth, it's really hard for me to talk to him, we are not really that close and well it's hard to reach out to someone that doesn't give anything back. I mean, one can only reach out so much.
However, I know sooner or later, it could be to me or it could be to someone else, it really doesn't matter, he will eventually open up and talk about whatever problem he may have. I'm sure with just little pushes here and there, he will eventually reach back out instead of just making people reaching out to him.
Don't get me wrong, I would get annoyed every now and then but I tried to remind myself, "hey how about God?! what happened when He got annoyed cause we don't talk to Him? Would He get upset? Would He just walk away from you and your life?" And of course my answer to my own question to myself is a 'NO'. LOL! Yes, I talked to myself sometimes. HAHA.

But anywho, just thought I should blog about this to remind me-self in the future (cause sometimes I get annoyed and couldn't think straight and forget all about it) when it happens again that 'everyone needs compassion..love that's never failing' that's include that friend of mine.

Well, as I told him, he may not be too comfortable talking to me but I hope he finds that one person he can talk to. Truth be told I don't like talking to people about my problems either, but I've those people that would reach out to me and somehow asked all the right questions to make me share and they made me feel better. I'm really grateful to have them in my life indeed! =)
