dental visit

As the title suggest, i went to the dentist today for a round of scaling. Well, scaling is a process where they drill off the dirt at the root of your teeth and your gum. Trust me when i say it really was not comfortable. But after the cleaning session, my teeth's white and smooth. I really like how it feels! Although the gum now hurts abit whenever i drink hot drink(there's a gap now due to the dirt removal), but to see my teeth so clean and white makes me feel good!

There bound to be days when God will come as a drill in our lives and remove the dirts stuck in us. As the drills goes to each dirty area, it really will get very uncomfortable. Sometimes we can still endure the pain and discomfort. But at others, we would clenched our fist in reflex to the torment we are going through. And when it's all done, we come out clean and white; Like Jesus on the mount of transfiguration.

At the end of the dental session, i got up and thank the dentist. What?! i thank him!? He put me through alot of pain and i got to endure it! But when i saw in the mirror the work he's done, i smile and all that pain though not forgotten, becomes unimportant in the sight of the white and beautiful teeth.

At the end of our walk with God, i pray we might all see in the mirror in heaven, Jesus being reflected. Yes, it's been a tough and challenging walk; the pains though not forgotten, becomes unimportant at the sight of Jesus in the reflection.
