so close, yet too far
3.4.06
when Moses stood on the top of Mount Nebo
watching over the Canaan land
I wonder what was going on in his mind.
the land was so close in distance
but he knew that it is too far to reach.
forty years leadership over a nation,
a lifetime dedicated to reach the Promised Land
would not bring him to enter it.
what did he feel?
anger? disappointment? regret?
what would you feel?
when you give your best to reach something,
getting oh so close to it,
but then realize that it would never happen to you.
failed exams, lost matches,
rejected proposals and articles, unsuccesful projects,
neglected leaderships, shattered dreams,
unresolved conflicts, broken relationships, broken hearts
what would go through your mind when those things happened?
in a world where results are more valued than process;
a world where ones are more concerned
about who win the game, who the champion is,
who get elected, what rank you’re at,
etc, etc,
Moses would easily be considered as a failure
but that’s certainly not the case.he is considered as one of world’s most faithful people,
and was honored as one of the two appeared
on the sides of the Lord after His resurrection.
isn’t it lovely to have the assurance
that your efforts will always be considered as valuable
no matter what the results are?
Just do your best and God will do the rest
