Love vs Hate

Tweet

It took me a while starting this because I thought of posting this on the "life" category also. I don't know if I am on the right discussion category but I'll post it here anyway. Yesterday I went to hear mass with my Aunt. It was a mass celebration for my late Uncle's death anniversary. Of course, I also included my personal prayers when I prayed. With the turmoil that I am going through, all I prayed for was for love to be stronger than anything. There are a lot of questions in my mind, and some unidentifiable heavy feeling in my heart. Bad feelings must have piled up that I can't even identify what exactly I am feeling. From start to beginning, I only asked for God to take away the heavy feeling that I have because I don't want it and I don't need it. It only keeps me anchored on the same place. I want to move forward and I want to bring my life forward. But the heavy feelings in my heart keeps me from moving. With what is happening all around us, I thought that maybe hatred is already looming in the hearts of humankind. Just after taking communion, I took a prayer and said at the end of my prayer "if only I have a good voice I will sing for you Lord. Please take away the heavy feelings. Let love prevail." God must have seen the tears I am welling inside of me for the heavy heart that I cannot explain that during the last part of the mass, the priest said something about singing for God. It felt like an answered prayer. Or at least it means my prayer was heard. In conclusion to the mass, I thought maybe the message of that miracle of being answered is I am asking for love, maybe I can give love first. Practice compassion. God sees what we do. If we practice love (love for family, love for friends, love for strangers, love for enemies, love for self, etc) then we will feel the love around us also. Our hearts will be filled with love and hatred will be dispersed. I am not really a regular church goer but if I get the chance of going, I attend the mass. I just thought of sharing the good vibes I felt today. And to you who is also having an unexplainable heavy heart ans is reading this, I wish I am able to radiate the good feeling that I have. Don't worry, you are not alone. God is with us. =)
