Be Strong

“I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you.” –Isaiah 38:5

Summer last year was one of my unforgettable moments. It was the time that I experienced so many things. Those were the days that I made countless mistakes. Decisions that I wish I never made. There’s this one thing I lost, this one thing that no matter what you do, you’ll never get it back. There are nights that I can barely sleep because I can’t stop thinking of that one incident that will hunt my life forever. I remember the days when the only thing I can think of doing is to give up. Hmm, the only thing I can say is it happened at the wrong time, at the wrong place and with the wrong person. It was my biggest regret, and yet it is a lesson learned. I’m turning 15 this year. It happened around 7 months ago and still no matter how hard I try to forget about it, I just can’t and I guess I never will. I realized that the teenage years will be the hardest stage of our lives. This will be the time that we’ll encounter temptations, and the time that all we want to do is to experience new things, to take risks without knowing the consequences of what we’re doing. But there’s this one thing I learned from all these, I learned that no matter how much you regret something, no matter how much you want to change the past, no matter what you do, God will never change the way he thinks of you. He’ll never give up on you. Never.  So, just be strong, because you know, God, he will always be there.
