Can we as humans really overcome hurts ourselves ?

SHALOM & Merry Christmas !! =)

OK At first i totally forgotten about this SAAV blog of ours until i just visited Fr Luke's Fong Blog and realise its my group to have the reflections . Haha actually i don't really know how to go about doing this blog reflection so pardon me if I'm not doing this right . =)

There was this one day where out of a sudden i was recommended to read Fr Luke's Fong Blog and that time his blogpost was about "where true strength lies" . Yes it has helped me understand a lot , if you have not read it , you should . True strength doesn't mean hiding your tears nor hiding your hurts .

As for today i want to talk something regarding about this too . Sometimes as we walk through life , we go through a lot of obstacles . This are all part and parcels of life right ? =) And through this all ,  we gain experiences . Sometimes this experiences can do either harm or good . Its how we see it individually . There are some that will just leave a scar and as long as we don't let go of it , we can end up letting it affect us always . Like for example , a common thing is trusting . Sometimes there are people that we trust and at times they might just turn around and break that trust . Like the saying goes right , trust is like a mirror , once it's broken it can never be the same again . And thus as we go on with life , we meet new people , we might never be able to trust them as much because of what your previous friend have done to you . Well this is a classic example of how we can let our bad experience affect our life if we don't let go .

 But then again , weren't we taught to forgive ? Yes i totally agree it is not as easy as it is to overcome your hurts but sometimes lifting it up to God the Father is the bestest solution . When was the last time where we turn to Our Father and cry for help ? Once someone told me , we as human can never survive alone , for we need our creator's helping hand . However as i listen to a number of my troubled friends , i realise that they do not plan to let go of their hurts . Sometimes they don't even want to turn to God . Hahaha , at times me to forget that HE is there . Sometime i think that "oh ! talking to God will not help at all ? " . But then as time past , as i talk to him more  . He never fails to answer me . Definitely it takes time but yes He does answer my troubles . Like usually during the week when i have some things troubling me and where my mind will keep questioning and asking God to enlighten me . Normally the homily during the weekends that Father gives always has an answer to my question . There also times where i surf the Net , there are answers just looking at me there for me to realise or also times where i read the bible , a particular phrase are God's words of wisdom to my hardship  .

It is really all within us . Are we going to let go of our hurts ? Or let it ruin our lifes ? What's the point of holding on to our hurts ? Does it make us become better people or does it actually make us sin more through our actions we make because of this hurts ? A new year is starting so before the New year arrives and as we start our life with new journeys , we can ponder a little more about letting go of the things that are holding us back to showing who we are deep down =) Hopefully my post is not confusing anyone , cause im really trying my best to bring out this post .. Hahaha new experience though , although i own a blog myself , its pretty hard to come out with this blog post . Thanks for reading and may you have a Happy and Blessed 2011 =)

Love ,
Rebecca =)
