Life… Problems Too Big for Me to Solve I 삶… 내가 풀기엔 어려운 숙제 1
Voice of LOVE:
They say God is watching over us when we’re faint with hunger or when we’re going through a terrible time and that we resent Him because of it. Whenever that happens, He watches from up above to see how we make it through, ready to step in with sustenance at the moment of genuine need.
I think that our eventual realization of all that helps us to view life from a broader perspective and consider things in greater depth.
내가 죽을만큼 힘들 때
그래서 내가 신을 원망할 때
내가 배가 고파서 힘들어할 때도
그 분은 지켜보고 있다고 얘기해요.
그 때마다 그 사람이 어떻게 이겨낼지
그걸 가장 높은 곳에서 지켜보고 있는데
그 사람이 정말로 필요한 순간에 물을 주고 음식을 주지요.
이 모든 것을 나중에 깨닫게 될 때
우리는 삶을 넓게 바라보게 되고
깊게 고찰하게 되는 것 같아요.
