Deep Waters.

It's already a painful truth -
We learn from mistakes, failures, disappointments,
And the suffering that comes with them.

I like what Kreeft said,
''The point of our lives in this world
Isn't comfort,
But training and preparation for eternity.''

At some point of my life back then,
I had to decide if I'm going to
Fear every possibility of failing or making mistakes, or
Face it and make me better.

And I know one day in his house
Is better than a thousand days in the world.
I'd do anything to stay in it -
Pain included,
Sacrifice unavoidable,
Challenges increases at every stage.
Intimidating.
But it disappears when I think to myself,

No good father will allow his kid
Go through what he knows she cannot bear.
So if I'm in it,
Then I'll be able to take it.

It reminds me of swimming in the sea.

The currents intensify,
The waves roll over me.
My heart's weakening.

Is he still watching me?
Has he gone off for awhile?
What if I drown and he can't save me in time?
Why is it so quiet?
I feel alone.

I look back.
No, he's not there.
My legs begin to ache.
I'm so tired, my tears are mixing up with the waters.

'Don't give up. I'm here.'
He's ahead of me.
I see his eyes,
They speak love and faith in me.
His smile gives me strength.

It seems easier now.
The waves are carrying me forward.
I'm not so tired anymore.
Something has taken place.

The waters will run deeper,
But of this I will be sure -

That I will trust you forever.
