Life will at times be difficult, often it is painful, and for now it is imperfect. But still it is good, for in all these things nothing can separate us from God’s lavish expressions of love (Rom. 8:39). — Julie Ackerman Link




Yes..most of the time it's true. And it all goes back to the proverb "The grass is always greener on the other side".

Somehow, people are never satisfied and most of the time, we hurt ourselves by comparing what we don't have with what others have.

This, definitely hurts. But at the same time, you do not realise and truly treasure what you have right in front of you.

We make things complicated in life by doing so. Labelling and materialism...all human's greatest flaws..

Sometimes I don't realise I make that mistake myself and so, I now truly love UTM very much.
Everything happens for a reason and it's God's gift to us. Everything we have, everything we do.
