Nothing last forever

This morning, I was deeply sad to read the news of a tragic accident which killed a mother and her two children at a railway track in Sg Gadut, Seremban. The accident happened early in the morning. She is said to commit suicide and she brought all her four children with her but luckily two of them escaped the accident. The mother was so depressed at that time and she had had arguments with her husband before the accident. Her husband had lost his job and they badly needed some money to sustain the children. Then all hell broke loose. She committed suicide.

I think she did that because she lost all her hope in this world and she lost her faith in her God. She could not take it anymore. She was in despair over her miserable life and she had no one to turn to and she felt there was nothing left for her in this world anymore. She hoped of seeing her God Almighty in the next world. May she rest in peace.

One thing I learn from this episode is that nothing last forever. Whatever I have in this world I will lose it sooner or later. Even the love from my loved one, friends and relatives are not permanent, I will lose it somehow. I will die or they will die first, leaving only the lasting and bittersweet memory of them with me. I will cry for a while but my life goes on. I know my turn to die will come soon.

But one thing last forever, that is the love of my God Almighty. His Love is permanent, everlasting and infinite; He will always be there no matter what, where and when. He creates me and tests my faith in Him. He may give me what I don’t want and take away what I want; He wants to see whether I’m grateful or otherwise to Him.

That’s why I always console myself with a fact that no matter what happen to me, whether I’m poor or rich, sick or well, young or old, God Almighty is always there watching over me. I thank God for giving me a chance to think of him always. I learn that God says ‘pray to me whatever you want and I will grant it’.

Sometimes when I don’t have enough money or struggling with my work or when I’m in despair, I thought of giving it all up and throw it away, but somehow it always come to me that why would I do that when my God is there to watch me and test my faith. I realize that He just testing my faith with all the difficulties in life and He also tests my willpower to achieve good things in life.

“Don’t despair and please be patience”, this is my father’s constant advice to me since forever, he said though I’m not rich, there is always someone who is poorer than me. And my father assured me that if I work hard, persevere and be honest to myself and other people, my chance of making big money will come naturally and I would be surprise of what I will get. He said that even I can’t believe the results of my toil and sweat. Insyaallah.

Nothing last forever folks.
