Sacrifice

Every human in some ways are attached to this material world. Nevertheless, it is in this society that we grow up as real believer of Christ. No one in isolation can learn and understand the true Gospel of God. But coming closer to our Lord always need some sacrifices; it may be in terms of abstract or material things. We cannot attain the completeness of joy until we learn to surrender ourselves in His merciful and mighty hands.

There is a chapter in my life which I would like to share. I am a very sensitive and emotional girl. In my life the most important thing after God was my family i.e. my father, mother, my brother and sisters. I could do anything for them. Their happiness meant more to me than my own. Sometime I would feel I had lost my own identity as an individual. Since my childhood I always felt that maybe someday we would be separated and this thought would sour my heart. I learned to accept my family as they were. But my perspective towards life was always different than theirs. I always wondered what will happen when in case God really takes me to the great mission He made me for. I never knew what was that, but I was sure that would mean a great sacrifice.

Some things in my life hurted me for which I use to feel like a runaway child, but my mother binds me into family. What I loved most was the food prepared by my mother. I loved been given extra care like all of us do. I like when someone says to me, you should do this and not that etc. I don’t mind giving some authorities of my life to my loved ones.

There seems to be darkness everywhere without a tint of light. We cry out to God to take us out of this pit. We say, Why Lord it is been done only to me? Why have you forsaken me? Why are you so heartless etc etc? But remember this is the time when He is closest to you. Is it been done to you because He loves you and wants you to be a part of His kingdom. He had great plans for you.

My world came crushing down when my family turned against me at the time I was determined to follow Christ, leaving behind everything else. In hash my parents pulled a wall of separation between me and them. I was sent away from family. It hurted them, it hurted me too more than I could imagine.
