Anything that lasted forever?


Looking out of the window
I saw two young girls
Playing & sticking closely together
Smiling sweetly & happily
Now I re-called a painting that I've seen years ago
which is still vivid in my memory.

It is a painting that tells a story of 2 girls
Childhood Friends
I gave each of them a name
Gloria & Sandy
They spend most of the time together
Play; Swim; Talk; Eat
& their favourite spot to hang out with one another
is none other than their treetop-house
It seems so sweet & ever-lasting.

It's 15 years down the road
Both of them had grew up
Things are different now.
They are drifting further away from one another
Maybe because of attending different school
Met & mix with different friends
Each of them had their life to live
Each have their story to tell

This painting turn out to be rather real
Like what we faced in our reality world
It's none other than disappointment

Things became worst after they know a guy name, James
They hang out together because of the James
As human nature, when they hang out with James more often,
they both fell in love with James
They fell out because of him.
Just a typical guy where you can find simply anywhere

Finally, they both become two lonely person
Who in the end
Became stranger

This is how true that nothing last forever
We can always say: "Our friendship will last forever"
But in how many of our friendship really last forever?
I can count using one hand

It's disappointing when you have a friendship with someone
for many years & things just change overnight
just because of insignificant matters

It's simply foolish.
I don't blame them,
as they are just ignorant.
Life will not go the way that we wanted it.
We can't plan our life.
What our future is in our hand?
Total bullshit.
You can't even control life and death,
let alone future.
You don't even know when will be your last days.
We are just limited & vulnerable.

When we walk a seperate way, have our own life to live
We tend to forget the happy time with our "past" friends.
We just simply move on & let the friendship fade.
It's a very sad thing.
"Friends Forever" is just a statement of lie.
Because nothing in this real earth lasted forever.

Love will fade
Heart turns cold
We will vanish when times to come

Only one thing that will last forever.
And that is God's love.
God first love us.

In John 3: 16,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"

And in Psalm 136: 1
"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever."

This is an assurance.
That God's love really last forever.
Man will failed us but God will fulfill us.
Man will betray us but God will protect us.
Man will hurt us but God will console us.
Man will discourage us but God will encourage us with His words.
Man bring us hopeless but God bring us true hope.
Man is out there to get us, but God is there to help us.
Man is sinner but God forgive our sin
& embrace us with His warm arms.

Thank God.
Amen!
