Last Saturday, that was February 20, I went to Cebu for the purpose of buying some stuffs for our business. At 9 A.M. in Bohol I hurriedly went to Dao Bus Station, and rode with the bus via Tubigon. It was almost 11:20 A.M. that I arrived in Tubigon Pier. I bought ticket for Cebu. In the boat going to Cebu I had this uneasy feelings that made me uncomfortable. Something in me was lacking. I felt dry. I don't know why. What I did I just setting my eyes to the waves of the sea hoping I can relieved from this feeling of aridity. But those feeling never faded. Thus, I still have discomfort. This made me troubled more. I went to the edge of the boat and tried to savor the breeze of the sea hoping I could be relieved. But the ionic breeze of the sea would not made me comforted and relaxed. For 2 hours sailing on the sea There was nothing happened.
Fortunately, I arrived in Cebu. I hurriedly went to my house and slept for a while hoping I could be healed by this discomfort.
When I woke up I eventually went out and started to buy those stuffs that I need to be brought back to Bohol. I enjoyed myself in roaming around Cebu. But this feeling of aridity would not leave me. It's still haunted me over and over again.
I asked myself why. Why it happened to me? What did I do why I felt like this? Unknowingly, I passed by Sto. Nino Pilgrimage Church in Cebu. I went inside and trying to have this prayerful life.
In silence, I found myself on the bench and have this deep breath as if I was finishing the marathon. But I found myself in deep prayer. Unconciously, I monotonously prayed. I knew at the time I'm in the church but I never experienced in my whole life that I did that kind of act. It wasn't happened to me before. You know what, something happened to me after I prayed. Those heavy burden that I carried always was gone. I felt light like a feather blown by the wind. I felt I was being unclothed by the heavy metal jacket. I was so amazed what have had happened to me. I went out of the church and continue buy those stuffs that I need to bring back to Bohol.
What's my realization then?
I realized that I need God despite of how busy am I. He is the comforter. Biblically, He said, "Come to me those who are wary and I will give you rest..." These words from God generally applied to us if we recognize Him as our comforter and saviour. If He is in us, no matter where we are we can find peace and comfort even if you are in the middle of the marketplace. Take it to me, I experienced it.
My words of wisdom to you my brothers/sisters let us put God first in all things we do and things will flow in peace and harmony.
May our day be filled with Peace and Love.
God bless us all.
