The Lunar New Year and Christmas family gathering taught a couple of things. After going through so much for the past few years, your life has been built up on our work status as your identity, take that away and you become a nobody.
It was scary at first to come to the realization of it, especially if you have built your life around work and your friends are mostly your colleagues. Once you don't have your dream career anymore, people look at you differently, they begin to pretend you are non existent because you are no longer somebody, you no longer have that salary, you no longer have that position.
When you have come to completely having nothing much in your life, society shuns such people. But I'm thankful that my Jesus doesn't say that and will never do that. He says to me, when you have nothing I AM your everything. Whatever He has He gives to me. There is no one else like Him. I just want to enjoy Jesus more and more. Want Jesus to fill my life. Because no one and nothing in this world, no job, no amount of wealth, no parent, no friend, no lover, no material thing can ever replace Jesus love for me.
My life is blessed already when I have the Blessor in my life and living in my heart. :)
