one day in a school overseas, a singaporean boy got verbally abused by his classmate of the same age that was a citizen of that country. he scolded him and later to add injury to insult, a girl- also a citizen of that country -threw a bottle at him and hit him on the shoulder. obviously that's not really very painful but it hurt on the inside. when he got home, being only a kid of primary4 he told his mom. his mom didint know what to do because she hadnt experienced the same thing. so the only thing, and probably the best thing, she could tell him to do was: go and talk to his Heavenly Father. to release everything to Him and just give all the hurt and pain to Him.
so the boy did just that. he went into his room and closed the door behind him.
later, he came out and his mom noticed a change in him. a change in countenence, in the way he carried himself and there was always a small smile on his face. so curious, she asked what happened in the room.
"well i was praying and just pouring out everything to God, replaying the whole incident in my head.. but then when the bottle came flying toward me, i suddenly saw Jesus. He stepped in between me and the bottle and took the full impact of the blow, so that when it reached me i only took some of the hurt!"

everything we've gone through, He's gone through it before. and none of our problems can happen without God's permission. everything that happens is Father-filtered. and because God's ultimately in control, accidents are just incidents in His good plan for us. and He lets us go through them cos He wants us to grow, to be more like Christ. whatever trials you face, take them to Christ. cos He WILL understand. afterall, He's gone through them all. what's more, He went through them all at once. God loves you.

yeah just a piece of encouragement or smth..
