We Should Stop

Disclaimer: It's not my brain which is writing this, it's my heart. So if you find it foolish, don't get mad.

We should stop.

What about those who died? What about those who failed? What about those who went broke?

We should stop.

Why are our testimonies too focused on happiness, as if pain and suffering are only experiences gone through by those who are unfaithful, unloved, missing out the blessings from God?

We should stop.

And what saddens me the most.

We should stop. We should stop saying that because we did this good thing, we received this good thing. Because we spent our time doing this good thing, God granted us this good thing. When a testimony focuses on what we did instead of what His blessings are, does that mean that God's love and grace for us can be won by our works?

There are many things in this world that we work hard for. Grades, status, money. I accept that fact. Because it's true. But God's love and blessings?

We should stop. Just stop it. 

It was never about what we do in the first place.
