It's hard to shout for something that cannot be understood. Different cultures, different backgrounds, different experiences, different personalities, different circumstances being dealt with... factors that you cannot control, situations that you cannot weigh and balance for them. Sometimes, the heart gets overwhelmed and the only thing that can appease you is to understand that everyone has a different language, and you do not have to learn all these languages to speak their language and make them understand. Sometimes, the truth and promise of comfort cannot be seen with the naked eye, and the only thing that can appease you is to understand that there is God who will listen and give you the peace your heart needs.
Philippians 4:6-7:
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
And now, a simple poem without worrying on the technical side. Just a simple masterpiece from the heart:
It's hard to talk to someone
It's hard to look for something
In a place where it cannot be found
What's the use of looking for peace
When only from above, you can be appeased?
Thank God for his Word and Grace to speak through the heart of a sinner. Thank God for notepads, pens, papers and keyboards.
It's hard to talk to someone
Who doesn't speak your Language,
What's the use of speaking Taiwanese
When the other speaks Portuguese?
It's hard to look for something
In a place where it cannot be found
What's the use of looking for peace
When only from above, you can be appeased?
Thank God for his Word and Grace to speak through the heart of a sinner. Thank God for notepads, pens, papers and keyboards.
