One day at the park, a little boy was crying. His balloon flew away, and he couldn’t get it back. An old man saw him and came close. He smiled and gave the boy a new balloon. “This is for you,” the man said. “Because you are special.” The boy asked, “Why are you giving this to me?” The man said, “Because you are like God. If God saw you right now, He would do the same.” The boy smiled and gave him a hug. We are like God—so we can love, care, and forgive. But sometimes, people forget this. Sometimes, they let the devil use them to make others feel sad or alone. If someone hurts you, remember this: God never leaves you. You are still made like Him, and He still loves you. Choose to be like God. Choose to love. š
Have you ever wondered why you meet a person randomly and how that person can affect your life forever?
Here is how my story goes. I’ve met my husband way back in 2003 which was the enrolment day in our school. I was looking for a friend of mine and of all the people there in the corridor, I had randomly chosen to ask him. He was very accommodating and friendly. I thought he was only doing that because he was part of the student assistant program that assisted during the enrolment period. I did not know that day would be a life changing day for me. Well, I only just met my destined person to be with for the rest of my life. I am not sure if it is destiny or just plainly a coincidence. Nevertheless, I was glad I met him that day.
A friend once told me that every person you’ve met, even a total stranger, has a reason and can really affect your life. I remembered those words until now. It felt ironic because whenever I’m feeling low, and even when I wanted to give up, there were people that I meet along the way, who reminded me that I don’t have to lose hope and faith because they also have been in that similar situation I had which also took them more time to recover. I tried to figure out why I’ve met them then I realize that every person has something to teach, to help and to remind us, that God put the same path to connect us with those people, that He has not forgotten me, that He truly cares for me, that He loves me.
