Sharpening

Pr 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

Know how often when our knives are blunt, we will use an iron rod/block to sharpen the knife? Yup.. Indeed, as iron sharpens iron, so one friend sharpens me.

Not very long ago, I wasn't exactly myself. My friend who was also in the helping profession asked me to find out the root of the issue. After this statement my friend mentioned, I decided to call it a night and I don't wish to talk too much - "The desire to be closer to God helps me to balance things out."

As I was praying last night, I sang this song - Draw me close. This morning on my way to work, I sang the song too. As I walk, everything just seemed to suddenly fall into place. It's not that I have lost myself. Neither am I upset. Nor am I angry. It just that suddenly, I realised, I am not that close to God as I used to be. The busy-ness of life has taken a toil on me. At CG today, I felt the Lord telling me "Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be answered. Draw close to me and I will definitely draw close to you. No longer will you feel void. No longer will you feel empty for I am with you."
