I found a K-pop song called “I was full” by an artist called Gaeko.
“I had it too good, yeah, too good, when I
already had such a beautiful girl (yeah, uh huh, uh huh)
I had it too good, yeah, too good, when I
already had such a kind girl (yeah, uh huh, uh huh)
I regret it~~”
Many times I feel the grace of God from the lyrics of popular songs. ^^ There are times we are not appreciative of the precious things close to us until we end up losing and regretting it.
It hurts me to see someone who does not know the value of precious things. It hurts me to see children who are so full of something that they end up losing what is valuable. It hurts me to see ourselves forgetting what is important and losing what is precious in our lives. If we feel this way among ourselves, imagine how troubled God’s heart would be looking at us this way. Why do we always forget that the precious things in our lives are none other than our brothers and sisters next to us?
How good
and pleasant it is
when God’s people
live together in unity!
(Psalm 133:1)
I pray that through this family retreat, we will once again come to discover such precious things that we have lost.
Following the shepherd…
