Drifting

To drift as defined in the dictionary means  to be carried along by currents of air or water. No self initiated direction or resistance at all. Our minds drift, our plans and so our life as well. We slip into drifting state when we lose hope to move on, when our sense of self-esteem falls alarmingly low, and our faith in ourselves has turned wobbly. How we handle blows in our life usually stems toward this state of mind, depending on our will to fight the battle, to run our race and to beat a time, how long can we hold on to that reason which keeps us composed.

We become bitter, blaming people for our failures, sulking into our solitary room of our mind, and as we go further adrift, we began questioning God, why situation miserable as such has to happen to us. We begin to tell God we didn't choose to be on earth just to suffer frustrations, disappointments, rejections.

Yet no matter how deep and how far we'd gone adrift, there He is reaching out to us. Wanting us to know and experience His unconditional compassion and mercy so as that moment we turn our face back to Him, He could wipe the tears in our eyes and assure us of hope that only Him can give.

Learning from Him daily is our best defense against state of drift. Believing and yielding in His ways will keep us on track of good life. It may not be a bed of roses, but an assured life of winning the battle and finishing the race. Blows won't desist from hitting us, but hope won't dissipate before our eyes, just as long as we keep our eyes on Him, and stop looking at our inadequacies. We take the walk of faith and follow the path of obedience, and all shall be added unto us.
