The Power of Crying Out

I am a real dog lover.
From them I've learned a lot about life. Friendship, loyalty, love, cheerfulness, happiness, even a new way of thinking and seeing something!

You may have known that dogs are loyal. There's no doubt about it. But more of it, I like the way they see everything around them. Dog lives in the present. They enjoy anything around them, without ever get worried about tomorrows. If you take your dog for a walk, you'll see that they are interested for everything. They like to smell the flowers, they like to investigate, they'll chase whatever gets their attention, the follow their instinct, they really live in the present!

Especially puppies. Puppies will take anything they've got as their toys. Anything. Whether it a comb, brush, pillow, tie, blanket, pencil, old newspaper, anything in this world are indeed a puppy's toys! We have a puppy here who likes to bite everything, including our hands and feet! It's waste to tidy up the room if you get your puppy there, because they'll easily find a way or two to screw it up again!

Like I say above, or if you read my posts before, you'll know that we found a puppy that we care for eventually. Her name is Velve. (I named her after the Spanish term 'vuelve' that means return, cause she has returned my cheerfulness -smile-). Oh my, I can't imagine a naughtier puppy than this one. Even my mom has sooo many scars because of her biting and nails' scratches on her hand. Oughh, sometime I feel that I want to put this tiny monster down, but every time I look at her face, I'll always feel a deep sympathetic. I love her so much, no matter how naughty she is.

Couple days ago, she cried out loudly. By hearing that, I immediately jumped out of my bed, ran to her and found out why did she scream like that. And I got my mom stood behind her, told me that she tried to 'escape' when my mom hold her with her hand (My mom got stroke so her left hand has been immovable), cause she wanted to open the door for somebody was there. It's too risky to let the puppy runs outside the house. And the result was, she fell down and got pain. My mom was incapable to handle her because of her 'actions' that were too much.

I realized that I always run out to get my dog anytime they cry. Sometime they cry for an uncomfortable situation, but other time, they cry for an unimportant thing because of their stupidities. But still, I'll get them immediately by hearing their screaming.

I assumed this experience with God. He can't help hearing our crying. I'm really sure that. What I dealt with dogs, I believe God will do likewise. He hurts when His people get hurt. He can't wait for answering our prayer, but sometime He delays. I know that He must have reasons for that. He won't do it incoincidently. History has proved it. Whenever God made a delay, He was doing a miracle. As time goes by, I started to see it in my life. The longer He delays, the bigger the miracle.

When Abram got his son, for example. Can you see the miracle there? A son from a 90 years conceived mother? Or when Jesus delayed to come to Bethany, when Lazarus was sick. What He did then? He raised him from the death! It wasn't enough for Him just to heal him. It was too ordinary. (But they needed something more hurt and bad in their circumstance to receive the miracle). If you are dealing with delaying, just believe that God's preparing a great thing for you. He'll reveal it when the time comes. He's keeping the answer till you're ready for that. So, get prepared for His surprise. He wants us to know Him in a new and better way than what we have known about Him.. Never be enough if it comes to knowing Him. We need to know Him more and more and more through our experiences..

Oh, please, I can't be preaching here :). Just want to share my experience. If my dog cries, I'll immediately get it, wherever it is. I'll never delay even a second to get 'em. I can imagine how's my God reaction if He deals with the same problem. He'll jump over to get you, my friend. So, don't be ashamed. Keep crying till your prayers get answered..

Happy Sundays, everyone..
