Matthew 21
21 Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done.
22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

searching: a reason

deep in each of our hearts, we are all searching for a reason of this life, we do. we know that after we die it doesn't just end there. Eternity has been set in the hearts of men.

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men.” Ecclesiastes 3:11a

can you stop to think about this. What happens after death, will you be willing to search for your truth? Don't you want to know what happens after death, for our lives don't just end when we die. Don't you want to be sure of where you are headed to after you die? Are you willing to risk it, and leave your destination unknown only to be in for a surprise when it happens? Is that a chance worth taking?

I searched for mine and I am clear of my eternal destination. I have found peace through Jesus Christ who came down to this earth to save me from my sins. will you be willing to seek for your truth as well?

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Proverbs 31.30

i have been really happy

it's good to know i can finally sleep with my conscious, with myself at nights. like finally. this feeling it feels awesome. i like it when i can't stop stop smiling. to know how blessed i truly am.

maybe it also feels good to that i know i am not being verbally abused all the time among many other things. *Word's cut, I've still got those open wounds. you mattered enough and you left the battlefield in ruins. the blood stains, the drips, it's everywhere. put on invisibility shades that sees past the surface already.

he was really an asshole.i am not joking.

but i still think he is awesome.i am not joking.

tell me how can an asshole be awesome again?

I know that God is real

I have felt and seen the presence of God so real in my life, every theory of life I came up with, every doubt that surfaced, every search in finding the truth of life, every attempt to literally run away from God and his truth (did i say literally run away from God? that's what I did), have just led me even closer in believing in my God. There is just no way my God is not real, not possible, everything brings me back to this truth.

Connecting those dots, every major milestone, each ripple have left it's visual mark just leaves me in awe.

you know, you too can know and experience him!

"Ask, and it will be given to you, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Matthew 7:7,8

I seek, I found, and I am glad I tried seeking to begin with.

All it takes is a heart that is willing to let God show himself real to you. You have nothing to lose, and you have the right to make that choice. Why not make this choice and ask him to do so?

“For dust we are and to dust we will return.” Gen 3:19

“Ever felt lost in life and unsure of where you are heading?”

This entire entry is stolen from this blog, I hope he doesn't mind, because I don't know him. But you can really contact me, not him as stated below(:

This blog called out to me because i was specifically dwelling/pondering about certain issues for the past quite a few months and it just seems as if all those doubts and questions has bought me slightly closer to what i want to know and am still learning and yearning to know. It can't simply be a coincidence, everything is playing out too perfectly, as if the people i am meeting, the things i am reading, the events that has been happening +++, is all just part of a bigger plan. i just can't see it yet. -m

Well, you don’t have to be suicidal to wonder if your life is worth living. You don’t have to be deep in debt to feel bankrupt. You don’t have to be locked behind bars to be imprisoned by your own desire. You don’t have to be walking down the streets to sell your body to others. You don’t have to be a millionaire to be in bondage to the love of money. You don’t have to be living in the garbage to think that life stinks. You don’t have to be homeless to feel lost and out of place in this world. At one point or another in our life, everyone – rich or poor – struggles with the meaning of life!

The above is an extract of what I read which is very true as this has been a month through the connectivity and the power of internet network in which I saw friends struggling in the search for meaning and purpose of life.

The reason why we are so connected in this day and this age is also because of loneliness and we try to fill this loneliness in whatever ways possible but failed again and again. There is this God-shaped hole in everyone’s heart because we are made to have a desire to know the One who made us. We want to discover the purpose He has for our existence in this big world we are living in. We might try to deny against having this loneliness or emptiness but it will only surface again and again. Just asked yourself how many times have you feel more miserable after a short time of temporal time of craziness and fun? This is because this is a “loneliness” for God and can only be filled by having a relationship with Him.

I am going to leave you with this song which I wrote on the exact same date last year:

Because You love me

I was lost and wandering
What am I doing?
What’s life is all about?

My heart feels empty
With lots of maybe
With darkness all around

Then You came and save me
Reach out Your hand, and show me how You love me
You give me hope to live again
You died for me, because You love me

Now You’re all I am, for who You are
Cause You made me who I am
You’re all to me, and You set me free
Cause You gave Your life, and now You live in me

And I was asking
Where I’m going?
Not knowing you are just around

When life seems nothing
Without a meaning
You show me what it’s all about

Cause You came and save me
Reach out Your hand, and show me that You love me
You give me hope to live again
You died for me, because You love me

Now You’re all I am, for who You are
Cause You made me who I am
You’re all to me, and You set me free
Cause You gave Your life, and now You live in me

Now You’re all I am, for what You’ve done
Because of what You’ve done, I am Yours
You’re who I am, cause You live in me
Your life You gave, so that I will live, a life of love in You

So that I will live, a life of love in You
Jesus, I will live, a life of love in You
Jesus, I will live, a life of love in You

Lyric / Composer: Rei

Then Jesus said to them, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10b

God loves us and He wants to have a relationship with us. He also desires that we can have a rich and satisfying life in the plan He has for us. But only by knowing Him who has created us, are we able to know the plan He has for us.

Now a choice is set before you now...

Choose life, that you might live,

the life that He gives!

and here.

if you know you are doing the right thing,

everyone might hate you for it,

even if the whole world misunderstands

you know that it is right.

stick with it

it hurts like hell

but well just stick with it anyway.

don't worry what everyone thinks,

they are not accountable for you.

little advice

when you get into heads like theirs,
make sure they don't get into yours too.
"you're probably right".

"when you wrestle with your choices, it's a sign that good sense will return."

“ Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house…let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. Mother Theresa

can you stop the red droplets?

Scars are souvenirs you never lose

The past is never far

Did you lose yourself somewhere out there

Did you get to be a star

And don't it make you sad to know that life

Is more than who we are

You grew up way too fast

And now there's nothing to believe

And reruns all become our history

A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio

And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell em your name

-googoodolls

it hurts to know someone gave up on you

when i least expect to feel the pain.

it's back!

hi geeks:

obsessive compulsive.

the love of sexy brains.

will you trust God today? God is what gives meaning to this life (:

matthew 19:26

"with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."

when we see this mess, when we are in the middle of a mess, when we have nothing to hold on to at the end of the day, why don't you just give God the chance?

true beauty lies within, unseen until discovered.

there's more that meets the eye,

don't just skim the surface.

-m

i am listening.

let's learn how to love the right way.

then be ready to love with all you've got.

-m

today: remember.

tiny insignificance annoy people easily

i see how tiny insignificant events can annoy people so easily, when they can spend that time laughing at how blessed everything else is. we tend to focus so much on our sufferings and injustice to fail to realise how beautiful and blessed we actually are. we make ourselves, our thoughts, our life, our happyness. we can't control the way people act, but we can control the way we think, we can make that difference to our own lives and not let the tiny insignificance piss us off ruining what potentially could be amazing. if we can just take a step back, everyone might just end up happier. does it matter really matter?

beneath the pinching pain, my heart is smiling with a twinkle, so it goes again, untriggered pain that triggers by itself.

our tiny noisy stalker

one day.

walking home.

avril and michelle.

got stalked.......

by a loud buzzing beetle.

guess what,

we ran home just to get rid of that stalker.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

pink socks make people happy

somethings never change,

the kid in us stays.

have you ever thought about what happens after this life, after we die?

with salvation, there is also damnation

with the existence of heaven, there is also a hell.

if there is God, there is the Devil

we spend so much time so concern with this life that we forget to actually think about what happens after we die. Have you ever thought what happens after death? Think about it.

Have you heard the gospel message? Because if you have never heard the simplicity of the gospel message, I will be more than delighted to share it with you(:

John 3:16 For god so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 for god did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Does Anyone Standing by the Lake of Fire Jump In?
By John Piper October 28, 2009

——————————————————————————–
C.S. Lewis is one of the top 5 dead people who have shaped the way I see and respond to the world. But he is not a reliable guide on a number of important theological matters. Hell is one of them. His stress is relentlessly that people are not “sent” to hell but become their own hell. His emphasis is that we should think of “a bad man’s perdition not as a sentence imposed on him but as the mere fact of being what he is.” (For all the relevant quotes, see Martindale and Root, The Quotable Lewis, 288-295.)

This inclines him to say, “All that are in hell choose it.” And this leads some who follow Lewis in this emphasis to say things like, “All God does in the end with people is give them what they most want.”

I come from the words of Jesus to this way of talking and find myself in a different world of discourse and sentiment. I think it is misleading to say that hell is giving people what they most want. I’m not saying you can’t find a meaning for that statement that’s true, perhaps in Romans 1:24-28. I’m saying that it’s not a meaning that most people would give to it in light of what hell really is. I’m saying that the way Lewis deals with hell and the way Jesus deals with it are very different. And we would do well to follow Jesus.

The misery of hell will be so great that no one will want to be there. They will be weeping and gnashing their teeth (Matthew 8:12). Between their sobs, they will not speak the words, “I want this.” They will not be able to say amid the flames of the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14), “I want this.” “The smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night” (Revelation 14:11). No one wants this.

When there are only two choices, and you choose against one, it does not mean that you want the other, if you are ignorant of the outcome of both. Unbelieving people know neither God nor hell. This ignorance is not innocent. Apart from regenerating grace, all people “suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18).

The person who rejects God does not know the real horrors of hell. This may be because he does not believe hell exists, or it may be because he convinces himself that it would be tolerably preferable to heaven.
But whatever he believes or does not believe, when he chooses against God, he is wrong about God and about hell. He is not, at that point, preferring the real hell over the real God. He is blind to both. He does not perceive the true glories of God, and he does not perceive the true horrors of hell.

So when a person chooses against God and, therefore, de facto chooses hell—or when he jokes about preferring hell with his friends over heaven with boring religious people—he does not know what he is doing. What he rejects is not the real heaven (nobody will be boring in heaven), and what he “wants” is not the real hell, but the tolerable hell of his imagination.

When he dies, he will be shocked beyond words. The miseries are so great he would do anything in his power to escape. That it is not in his power to repent does not mean he wants to be there. Esau wept bitterly that he could not repent (Hebrew 12:17). The hell he was entering into he found to be totally miserable, and he wanted out. The meaning of hell is the scream: “I hate this, and I want out.”

What sinners want is not hell but sin. That hell is the inevitable consequence of unforgiven sin does not make the consequence desirable. It is not what people want—certainly not what they “most want.” Wanting sin is no more equal to wanting hell than wanting chocolate is equal to wanting obesity. Or wanting cigarettes is equal to wanting cancer.

Beneath this misleading emphasis on hell being what people “most want” is the notion that God does not “send” people to hell. But this is simply unbiblical. God certainly does send people to hell. He does pass sentence, and he executes it. Indeed, worse than that. God does not just “send,” he “throws.” “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown (Greek eblethe) into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15; cf. Mark 9:47; Matthew 13:42; 25:30).

The reason the Bible speaks of people being “thrown” into hell is that no one will willingly go there, once they see what it really is. No one standing on the shore of the lake of fire jumps in. They do not choose it, and they will not want it. They have chosen sin. They have wanted sin. They do not want the punishment. When they come to the shore of this fiery lake, they must be thrown in.

When someone says that no one is in hell who doesn’t want to be there, they give the false impression that hell is within the limits of what humans can tolerate. It inevitably gives the impression that hell is less horrible than Jesus says it is.

We should ask: How did Jesus expect his audience to think and feel about the way he spoke of hell? The words he chose were not chosen to soften the horror by being accommodating to cultural sensibilities. He spoke of a “fiery furnace” (Matthew 13:42), and “weeping and gnashing teeth” (Luke 13:28), and “outer darkness” (Matthew 25:30), and “their worm [that] does not die” (Mark 9:48), and “eternal punishment” (Matthew 25:46), and “unquenchable fire” (Mark 9:43), and being “cut in pieces” (Matthew 24:51).

These words are chosen to portray hell as an eternal, conscious experience that no one would or could ever “want” if they knew what they were choosing. Therefore, if someone is going to emphasize that people freely “choose” hell, or that no one is there who doesn’t “want” to be there, surely he should make every effort to clarify that, when they get there, they will not want this.

Surely the pattern of Jesus—who used blazing words to blast the hell-bent blindness out of everyone— should be followed. Surely, we will grope for words that show no one, no one, no one will want to be in hell when they experience what it really is. Surely everyone who desires to save people from hell will not mainly stress that it is “wantable” or “chooseable,” but that it is horrible beyond description—weeping, gnashing teeth, darkness, worm-eaten, fiery, furnace-like, dismembering, eternal, punishment, “an abhorrence to all flesh” (Isaiah 66:24).

I thank God, as a hell-deserving sinner, for Jesus Christ my Savior, who became a curse for me and suffered hellish pain that he might deliver me from the wrath to come. While there is time, he will do that for anyone who turns from sin and treasures him and his work above all.

Trembling before such realities, and trusting Jesus,
Pastor John

a mess.

the heart is shut. i won't let anyone come close enough to hurt me ever again. this i must stay true to myself. such pain don't go away. they are here to stay. don't want to mess myself up no more. it's just a self-protection mechanism.

the heart is crying, but the actual tears refuse to fall.

you need to feel pain to grow.

why should life be a fix set of rules.

and then who sets the rules in the first place.

who gave them the right to make it so.

hold on

forever he will be, the lamb upon the throne

waking up, feeling the ouch.

not more, not less.

just ouch.

happy birthday gabs!

NICE ASS by the way.

jaded

I really don't think people change, you know? Our values don't. At the end of the day, you are who you are. And at the end of the day, it's probably who you've always been.

Find yourself.

I think i know you so well that it scares me. Because I found out, you don't know yourself.

i woke up feeling really good.

hello.

good morning world.
