The Well

I have been sitting in the empty well for some time.
(In my own comfort zone)

What I have is limited fresh air and sunlight.
(Complacement about what I have but indeed I dun have much and I have limited capacity)

I wanted to have more of the fresh air and sunlight, and of course more of the things I did not have in the well.
(I am hungering and thirsty for more than what I have now, I want to expand my capacity)

I tried to climb out of the well myself, but only to find more bruises, more bleeding and and more tiredness.
(I wanted to do it on my own strength but to no avail)

I feel so tired that I decided to shout "I want to get out of here to the place up there!! How???"
(Finally I decided to seek God and shout out to Him)

Suddenly, it came the rain, it started off with a drizzle, then it gets heavier and heavier.
(A lot of obstacles and problems, trials and tribulations starts to come)

I was thinking, why did the rain come of all times???
(Why did all the trials and tribulations come at this time?)

The rain started to fill the well.
(All the trials and tribulations started to drown me and fill up my life.)

I started to struggle and kept complaining why did the rain come.
(I was lost, didn't know what to do and only started to blame on God)

I began to feel physically drained.
(I was still using my own strength)

Then suddenly I realized, it seems like I am going up the well.
(I started to realize that I do have little breakthroughs here and there.)

I decided not to struggle, but to trek water.
(I decided to depend on God's strength and not my own strength)

Trekking water doesn't only depends on one's skill of the feet, but also the coordination with the flow of the water.
(flow with the Holy Spirit)

Trekking water make me so tired... so lonely.. so cold
(walking with God... i become very tired... people close to me starts to leave and I am left alone... I feel so cold... I lost the warmth)

I feel so tired... then He said... start floating for a while... My strong arms shall carry you and I will give you rest...
(i am feeling very tired fighting the battle... but God will carry you through and He will give you rest...)

the night seems long... feel so cold... but here and then there are sunlight to give you some warmth..
(the warmth is just like blessings... blessings still come when you are in the midst of trials and tribulations...)

this sunlight will cause some of the water to evaporate... the water level becomes slightly lower...
(blessing will take away some trials and tribulations' trouble but it also means you are slightly away from breakthrough...)

more to come... more to come...
(more trials and tribulations shall come till the final breakthrough of the season comes)

Finally the water overflowed from the well, and there I am.
(When the trials and tribulations ends, the breakthrough shall come)

Standing on fresh dry ground, breathing in fresh air and letting the unlimited sunlight to shine on me.
(Here comes my breakthrough)

I have emerged from the bottom of the well!!!
(Breakthrough and move on to the next level)
