I don't know what to label but just read it and you will see :)

"When I gaze into the night sky and see the work of Your Kingdom"

That phrase comes from a remarkably adorable song 'The Majesty and Glory of Your Name' by . Every time I hear this song, a sudden shivering feeling always pop in my heart. Each single words of this song really makes me see myself as a very little tiny ant in this big big world. This just reflects HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD! I'm just astonished every time I hear this song.

I was raised in a strong Catholic culture. My parents are activists, I came to Catholic school from kindie to high school, I joined the Sunday school, and I was always taught to pray. When I was a kid I understood 'God is great' as He is the creator of this universe. I heard a lot about Bible stories from Sunday school's teachers but I only saw them as history. I did not know Him personally. I saw Him as a Savior that was crucified thousand years ago to redeem us, that's all.

I served Him in my church back in Bandung, but it just did not make me any closer to Him. Service does not guarantee that someone has a close personal relationship with God. The turning point was when I was just turned 16. Something unpleasant has happened to me. It was a break of friendship. I felt very down and was wrecked at that moment. That somehow dragged me closer to God. The thirst and desire to know Him has brought me out from that shallow understanding of God when I was kid. For me, now, He is a best friend, a very faithful One. I know who is my God well. I know whom I pray to everyday. No single words could describe how great He is for me. 

This post came out as a reflection of my self after reading a friend's posts on tumblr. I look her life as a perfect one surrounded by so many blessings and happiness. The more I see the more I ask to my God, 'Why not me, God?'. The evil tried to drag me apart by shooting those envy and ungrateful feelings to my mind.
But then I realized. God is too wise to be mistaken. He give us everything according to His master plan. I shall look down instead of always looking up up up. I've got a wonderful life with great family, great friends, and load of blessings. Then why should I feel unsatisfied? Why am I still asking my God's kindness? The more I age, the more I see how God bless my life "crazily". So, instead of looking of people's life and being envy, why don't just see yours and be grateful? See your life and you'll be amazed of  how overwhelmed you are :)

Our God is too rich. His blessing to others will not reduce any of His capability to bless us.

Be blessed!
