timesofrefreshing.

many would agree wif me,
that coaches are slavedrivers!
coaches are pple who
don't understand how trainees feel.

coaches are unapproachable,
coaches are the dogs of mankind!
coaches set outrages demands!
coaches are just too much.

i met my coach today.
like any other,
he has a stern character
and pushes pple to their limits.

he told me quite a number of things.
some of which were hard to swallow.
but i had to admit they're all true..
the cold hard truth!

it's really hard to face him sometimes.
and i even choose not to see him.
choose to ignore him totally!
coz i felt that he doesn't understand me at all.

all he wants is HIS desired results.
HIS training program for me,
and how i'd fare in HIS tough regime.
whether i'd stand strong at the end of it.

how selfish, i thought.
i dreaded keeping to the regime.
each time i wake up,
it reminds me of the painful ordeal.

but today he told me,
"des, u know i know ur limits.
u know i'm experienced and understands ur struggles.
i'm here to train wif u,
just so that u can withstand the test!
the test of perseverance,
the test of focus.
i know ur limits,
and i know u can go further.
my plans are to prosper u,
and not to harm u.
i want to go thru dis wif u,
coz i love u too much to see u suffer.
but dear, it's necessary.
u'll come out of dis soon,
i'll be here wif u ALL THE WAY."

friends, i wanna share dis wif u.
my coach and friend btw.
Jesus Christ.
the Son of God!

and to u.
u, who's in pain or hurting.
and u feel that u're all alone in dis.
and blames God why all these must happen to u.

i wanna assure u,
u're not alone.
and u're going thru these,
just so that u may be stronger.

when u face a compulsory judgement before God.
He'll call u His friend,
and not a stranger.
or worst,
a friend who severed ties wif Him.

press on, my friend!
really, press on!
if u need somebody to talk to,
which i strongly advise.

find somebody whom u can be accountable to.
and share openly,
for u won't know how God can work thru that person!
allow God to speak to u today.

it's worth it!
really..
hang on!
