Fortune Telling

 

I don’t believe in fortune-telling, even until now. But I can do it just for fun. Just like when I went to Jakarta 2 years ago, when I went to a Japanese dessert shop with my friends. There was a small Japanese fortune-telling corner. The fortune was also written in Japanese and translated into English. I took one, and I got “The highest, excellent fortune”, which is the luckiest fortune you could ever get in a fortune-telling. My friends were all shouting at me, saying that after all of these depressing series of event, I’d get a ‘good life’.

I never thought it for real, but I do hope that I get a ‘good fortune’, since I feel like I got no ‘luck’ in life, not in my job, nor in love-life either. Even I was not that healthy too. Not to mention the loneliness I got since I was a child.

It’s been 2 years since that fortune-telling incident, and if I looked back these past two years, I feel I do get a ‘great fortune’.

Did I get a good job? No, my job isn’t something to be proud of.

Did I get a good love-life? No, still alone and I don’t even know if I can be married one day.

Then why?

I do get a highest, greatest fortune in life, because through all of the struggles I got, I found an everlasting love that will never walk away. A love that has been given to me even if I was a sinner, and still a sinner. An unconditional love. It’s God Himself. Out of so many people in this world, I’m chosen to know Him. What kind of luck can beat this ‘luck’?

The job that at first I though it’s not something to be proud of, God blesses me so much from this job. Not that much, but it’s just fine to cover all of my needs. And I start to like it too.

Love? It will be my pleasure if I find one someday, but that’s not the most important thing in this life. Submitting my life for Him, through marriage or singleness, that’s the most important thing. He is the Eternal Groom who always takes care of His bride.
Worry? Sometimes, or even a lot, maybe. But the God who has been guiding me until now, the same God who will always guide me till the end of my life.

Thanks God for choosing me out of so many people... I do have the greatest ‘fortune’, and it’s You.
