A journey with Him Part I - the route taken
Once, there was a boy walking in the jungle. He wanted to find the meaning of life. So, he went, all by himself in the jungle. But he was never alone.
Throughout his journey in the jungle, he had always wanted another person to walk together with him. He wanted someone whom he can share everything with her, love her and to be loved. And indeed, he had met some very beautiful women in his journey. But, they did not work out well. Not because they were not beautiful physically – which in fact they are, but due to some differences in values and beliefs.
So, the boy did not give up. He kept walking. And as he walked, he would sometimes stop and pray. He prayed that one day he will cross path with the one woman he will love and be loved. Also in his prayer, he truly prayed for those who used to love him or still loved him, so that they too will one day find the one for them or understand who he is and his being. He waited and waited.
It’s been years now. One day, the boy stopped walking. He thought of all his prayers. None of them was answered. He started wondering if God has been listening to him. Enemy started to haunt him with the thoughts that God is not there and he was not worthy to be helped. And so he whined and complained, starting to get really impatient.
Just at that moment, he came across two routes. One looks green and straight – without any word on the route sign. The other one is greener but with its twists and turns – with the word ‘Inner Healing & Transformation Seminar’. The boy didn’t know which one to choose. And so, he sat there for days thinking which route to take.

In the end, he took the latter route though his conscious mind somewhat disagreed. Yet his heart asked him to give it a go with the reaffirmation of external signs around him. Suddenly, a scripture that has long been forgotten fall on him, “No eyes has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined, what God has PREPARED for those who LOVE him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).
For all you know, the boy did not know what he was in for. Enemy in his mind still tried to deceive him to change his mind. But the boy refused to give in to the thought, for he believed one thing: there is always something - something God wanted to tell him there.
And so he went.
And his journey continues...
