This song touched my heart once again. It acts as a reminder to what I am lacking very much. God I need the discipline to do so. Help me.
On Friday night, as I was slouching in my living room's sofa watching Discovery Channel, I came across an advertisement. It was showing all the beautiful pictures of nature and the amazing state of the art technology. After around 1 minute, it ended with a phrase, " The world is awesome."
I stared at it for at least 5 seconds and almost immediately, a strange feeling welled up inside me. I felt uncomfortable. I didn't know what was it but something just doesn't feel right during that 5 seconds. I realised what went wrong. It was fundamentally wrong. Those pictures were a testimony to a great creator. The rain don't fall at its on accord. The flowers don't bloom just because it wants to. Electricity don't flow in any direction it desires. They all point to one thing, there is a master planner and creator. This is what dictionary.net says about the word awesome.
Awesome \Awe"some\, a.1. Causing awe; appalling; awful; as, an awesome sight. --Wright. 2. Expressive of awe or terror.
Awe \Awe\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Awed (?); p. pr. & vb. n. Awing.]To strike with fear and reverence; to inspire with awe; to control by inspiring dread.
We actually called the world awesome? Awesome? We gave what God deserve to his creation instead of him. What kind of complacency is that! How would you feel if your son calls someone else "Daddy"? It would be heartbreaking. I believe God would feel the same.
Fear God, because He is able to create and destroy at His will. The only reason why nothing is happening to such boastful attitude is because God is merciful. His love for us know no limit. Don't take it for granted.

Happen to pop by this video. It started out to me as some secular christian song and video. But as I watched on, I feel a deeper sense of meaning to this video. Indeed, many people out there longs to be loved and they are searching for themselves. How many times my brothers and sisters, do we as Christians reach out to them? We complain that no one wants to be saved. But what happens when someone willing to listen to God's word pop by in your life? Do you choose to ignore them just because interacting with them pokes through you comfort zone? Think about it. Think again...

The moment I met her, I knew she was the one.
It started when my friend introduced her to me online. I told myself, why not give it a chance?
I went to take a look at her pictures online and my first impression of her was, " Wow! She's gorgeous!" I took her number down and decided to make a date with her. I couldn't wait to see her in person. The date was set on 20th November 2008.
That night, at 8pm, I waited at her void deck. My heart was thumping in a beat of unequal intervals. It was so exciting. She blew me away just by her pictures. I wonder how she would look like in person. Most importantly, of my main concern was how beautiful she would sound.
When I finally met her, I was awestruck. She was beautiful. Her skin was a creamy white and it was flawless. Her curvatures were dangerously attractive. Her neck was sleak and slender. She smelt of fresh alder wood. She's mexican. She just blew me away.
I believe you all are interested to meet her. Let the pictures do the talking.
I need to do her looks and sound justice. Now that I've got a bass guitar, especially such a good one, I've got to start working hard to bring my skills one notch higher. No, one notch is not high enough. Must go two or three. Haha, my skills now ain't very high to begin with. Got to start practising.
Thank you LORD for letting me such a beautiful deal. Will work hard with it. :)

I had a beautiful vision today. It was a blissful...
I saw myself standing face to face with God in a garden. He was standing in His long and beautiful white robe. I was wearing a tattered and torn piece of shirt. Somehow, I was shrunk into the size of a toddler. I was dirty and soiled. God was in His clean white robe.
In that vision, God was extending His hands towards me. He was calling out, "Come here Young, come here!" It was the most comforting and peaceful voice I've ever heard. However, like a little toddler throwing his tantrums, I shouted back at God, "I don't want to!" Immediately, I saw God's loving face transformed into a deeply hurt expression.
"Why not?" He asked me.
"I am just not worthy enough for You Abba. I've failed You so many times. How could I ever come near to You? Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself. Once I've purified myself, then will I come back to You. Right now, I've just done so much shameful things that is not worthy of Your love." I answered Him.
He took a step towards me and reached out His hand. "Come to me." He said.
"No! I will not!" I exclaimed. I then turned my back against Him and started running away. I ran for not more than 20 metres and I suddenly fell down. The ground was full of sand and gravel, cutting through my skin. I cried. Blood was all over my legs and body. Tears were rolling down my eyes. The pain was imeasurable.
Just then, God took a few steps forward. Without a word, He reached out His hands and carried me up. He cradled me into His warm arms. He wrapped me in His white robe, wiping off the blood and tears on me.
"Silly boy. You're helpless without me my son. Please don't leave me again. I love you." God whispered into my ears.
With that, the vision ended and it faded away. I opened my eyes, feeling peaceful and calm. I prayed. I asked myself again and again, how can it be true? God's love is so amazing. It is never failing. It was not the first time I've fall out from Him. It was not the first time I've failed my conviction. So many words I've said but none made any sense. Time and time again I am comforted by His deep love for me.
Then I realised, the Devil has been playing tricks with me. I was stupid enough to fall into his temptation. He pounced upon my weakness and made me feel guilty. He wanted to draw me away from God. The truth is, the more I leave God, the weaker I become. It was a vicious cycle, a never ending one. How cunning you are the Devil. You've proven yourself to be a sly and manipulative creature. God loves us no matter what the circumstances. Take that you scum of all creation!
Dear LORD,
Thank you for making me share this with the many out there. It is a blessing. I am coming back to You LORD. Strengthen others like how You've strengthen me. You are our Abba Father.
Amen...
