God Spirit, Through My Friend’s Eyes

I am so thankful to the Lord for sending me the best people as His spirit representatives, “The Merciful”, “The Caring”, and “The Loving” through the eyes of my friends, my sisters, my flesh-and-blood.

We used to get stuck, startled by problems which come from ourselves, and took less lessons from the experience. Some people could take lots of lessons, and some do not.

I am the one who learned less from my experience, but at least, I’m trying to dig into the bright side of the experiences…I tend to see the problem too seriously and think that I am the poorest person in the world.

I’m to focus on my problem, too selfish; too startle on me…all is about me and myself. Seeing less on others’ problems, seeing and learning less from “the environment” around me.

Yesterday, I just realized how selfish I am, ignoring my truly best friend who is so kind to me, never complaining about me who always bothers her with my complaints and constraints about life. I ask about her condition less, does she face problems too or not…

I just realized when I asked her yesterday (before that, I’m talking about me, myself and I as usual), that how heavy her job, how many things which must be completed, how busy her on changing other people’s works who leaved the workplace she work for because of finding another job or got sick..

But you know what, she never complained about that. She just said with a joke, “My friend, who was accepted as a Civil Servant, left many pending jobs to do, moreover my other friend in the Marketing Department is going to leave soon, too. My suffering is complete now…I’m going to die soon…hahaha…”

And after that, she still encouraged me not to think too serious on my problem, her words which reminds me till now was, “I pray for you to learn the best from your best experiences, I don’t pray for you to get the best as change for all the miseries you faced because I believe that God always gives the best for you, sis..God wants you to learn and trust you that you can go through all these miseries.”

I owe much from her kindness in encouraging me, introducing me to the “world” (including finding me a soul mate, hahahaha), and now (just realized), I owe her from the positive thoughts she gave and the toughness she had in facing life. She taught me how to “do more and complain less”.
