It's been long since I post something :)
Many tells me, why put hope in someone when he or she always fail you? Some even say, you still want that person to be in charge in doing things? Come on man!
Yea.. It may seems like it's stupid or rather pointless to put hope in a person who always fail you and never show anything good.. It may seems like all hope losses it ground in that particular person (I hope is one only).
Last time, God teaches me about Faith. Then He teaches me about Love. Then now He teaches me about Hope. Of course I'm still learning all these, but as I learn, I learn others as well.
Let me tell you my consequences when I put hope in a person.
My dad has not been a really great dad in my family.
He has never really take good care of us.
He always mistreat my mom in many ways.
He communicates very little with us.
He is a mysterious guy (how my brother call him :D) who never tell anything to us.
He always keep everything to himself.
He is not a good breadwinner.
He never teaches us like how a father should teach.
He always go out late night.
He always slept till evening and if you wakes him up, you get scolded.
and many more.
This is who he is throughout the whole time i knew him.
However, after something happen to my family where my mom was put under restriction area far from home and when me, my elder brother, and my younger brother left home to further studies elsewhere which leaves my little brother here with my dad. He changes! What changes?
He travel many times in his old age to see my mom.
He re-married my mom :)
He take good care of my brother.
He take good care of the house.
He do laundry, cooks, buy lunch, buy breakfast early morning (which happens today!).
He waves goodbye to us when he leaves the house (which he don't don last time)
He cares for the household.
He call and ask whether house got any more food before he come backs from work.
He calls us and ask whether we need supper or not.
He is a real breadwinner now!
He loves us so much that whenever i look at all his actions now, i feel like wow!!!! is this my dad? haha.. He really change a lot and one thing for sure, Praise God! If we never put hope in him, my mom divorced him long ago, i'll rebels againts him long ago, but look! through prayers though it takes long time and through hardship which the Lord cast upon, my dad change for the better! What more can I ask for?
Therefore, hope is something that I think is very important in our lives. Though it may hurt you, but it is worth putting hope in someone and keep praying until something happens.
Honestly, i din really pray all the time, but look, though i don pray all the time, the Lord still show His love and grace towards my family again and again.
Sorry if I didn't put my words properly, but I would love to share personally if you and I got the time :)
I hope this does encourage you if you are having problem with someone.
Don't lose hope but keep putting more Hope for Hope is a light and the light is God.
