While watching those korean drama mama serials today, I began to ask, "Will this happen to me next time?" It can be such a real thing - people who are affected by things of the past, and they begin to walk in the footsteps of their past. Just like re-enacting the scene over again, believing that they are just meant to live like that.

That was when I realised how important the 'God' factor is in our lives. The 'God' factor keeps us in check, keeps us sane. Simply because the Lord is my refuge, my shelter, my strength... He is the One who comforts when all things seem dark, He is my Reason to rejoice when day breaks.

Who is God, you may ask. Is He someone who simply dictates where I should go, what I should do, eat and drink?

And this is my 2 cents worth understanding and personal experience. He provides the guidance you need, and gives you the final decision how you would like to live. If He gives you a map and a compass, you can choose to throw it aside and call your own shots. Or you can hold on to His hands, and allow Him to gently guide you to live a life of joy and victory. That is how we were meant to live.
