The people we see around us

What if, everyone one we meet was just an image. Not an imagination. But just an extension of our existence. Regardless of time, we might be looking at someone we oddly know somehow, because our future or past self broke through the self made barrier that gives us the perception of reality that defines what 'now' is.

And that in essence, there is no such thing as time or materials or ideas for that matter to begin with. In the beginning, there was nothing, but creation happened. Sentience began and we received wisdom that enabled us understanding of knowledge. Powerful

We now know and are aware because we can learn and be educated.

Am currently reading a book entitled "time and the soul" by Jacob needleman, when the first paragraph popped up in my mind. Yet, thanks be to God the Original Creator that... He guards my heart and dismisses the doubts I have.

Treasure this relationship you have dear reader.

As I read, I realise how some are so enveloped in darkness, a thick fog clouding the eyes. Yet in Christ, light shines through. And by Him I see everything else.

You're alive.
Something made you.

The only way to

Tremendous power..

Human says that power corrupts .
As evident in history, it does.

It blinds us. Makes us greedy for more.
However, there was one guy who showed power... Over sickness, death, chaos... Tremendous power..

Yet utterly controlled.

And He, is the only one that can help and enable you if you want the same... The only way... This is the truth.

You're alive.

God is love, but love isn't God

Don't mess up the sequence.

Sometimes one might think that love actually can replace God.

It can't.

Look around you, all of creation, God is there.

Your very being, breathing and living, God made you.

Your personalities, experiences and struggles, God knows it.

Don't go looking for love in the world to fill the void in your heart

Once you come to know the creator, that void fills up.

With his voice.

That ssooths and clams.

That ignites and burns.

Tha breaks and destoryes

Yet heals and restores.

a text book of academics in english

there are things where we can find balance as an individual
and there are things that can only be balanced when there are two or more people

imagine trying to write your university assignments in the foreign language you took.
that is what is like to be trying to express your views in something now your mother tongue.

i struggle with learning new languages. and by God's grace, i grew up speaking.. mainly.. only english. well.. bahasa kicks in once in a while, but rarely.. apart from that, i'm practically a mute if i were to convey whats in my mind.

(okay, so i shouldn't blame God that i'm too lazy to learn chinese)

anyways, going back to the point.
they say that education is the key to break the cycle of poverty.
i wonder how many of my course mates that i sit alongside in my classroom are actually interested at all in being there. its as if, they dont really care about the degree...

i'm torn
should i just not bother about everyone else around me, and just focus on myself as an individual, study hard, get good grades, work, get money, buy a big house and a nice car.... maybe have a lovely happy family

what about others around me. should i ever care. if they aren't wiling to help themselves, then why should i?

well thats not true, i'm pretty sure that there are some people who care very much about their studies, its just that they struggle with it. language

but they've been given 9 years to study for it in primary and highschool.. shouldn't we already be on the same level of grasping it? how different a level in proficientcy and command of the language get

you cant even spell proficiency right, anyways... well it really depends who your teach was in highschool. you were blessed. coming from a town. good teachers. who actually spoke english well.

yeah my room mates laugh and chuckle when they say just two or three lines... erm.. words of english. it... amuses me to see they're jovial smiles. yet it pains my heart. to wonder if they can be helped.

didn't you ever have that dream: to just go into a kampung and sit down by the wooden stairs. and the children will rush to gather around you... sitting down, staring up in awe... as you pass down what you have.

sim and naruto

something about

the sims game that teaches kids about adultery

and... owning the best of everything in this world.

and people still complain about the younger generation being too materialistic

they should go read Naruto 668.

and find out what it is to have an Attitude like Guy-sensei

haha.. okay that last part was totally random,

anyways... glad Naruto ended. very nice how it puts things from the past being reincarnated in the next generation. something that many other religions have built its self on.

when you meet someone who is oddly similar to another person you've met before in your past,

as if that doppelganger was ... a clone

of play the specific role and character of another friend you had in that old circle of friends.

something about, personalities being cyclic

In news

Finances

A greedy politician in the government will cause the destruction of a nations future.

Buying votes by bribing its citizens. A false image if wealth

Think

Finally some one on their own side of the fence has spoken out against his own people. Well not finally lah, he's been at it for some time now.

Don't just follow the bureaucracy blindly. Don't be a mute stone following the kicking tradition and laws set by men.

Matters

What doesn't concern God,
Doesn't concern me

Humans question believes

"This is how humans are: we question all our beliefs, except for the ones we really believe, and those we never think to question". - Speaker of the Dead talking to Human the piggie.

Pickup trucks

I love sitting at the back of pickup trucks. Feeling the cool breeze across face

I am bankrupt

What does it mean to be that? Totally devoid of funds? Unable to work my lecturer says..  In dept... Someone else says...

Well it made me think about love and grace.

Am I bankrupt and devoid of love and grace? No. But I would be apart from Christ.. The one true unending source of it.

Yes people might be able yo provide it... But not all the time, not in all circumstances, not in all co conditions..

Richness ( not in terms of money) is given in the fullness of it all.. Found by the one who brought everything into being. The Creator.

And because He is my Father.. Just like how our earthly father provides for us, so I know He will provide for me

God demands sacrifice

Why do gods in all religions desire.. Or demand a sacrifice to be made to them. Be it abaddon from the wicker man.

But they all demand blood to be spilled and things to die...

Our God however... Paid the price himself... Died and shed his blood on the cross.. And rose again on the third day.

No other God resurrected like that, others reincarnate or get reborn.. Not Jesus

He is a living god. One whose not defeated by death nor bound to the grave

Hence, as a living God... He demands a living sacrifice...

He calls us to give our all to him... As a sacrifice for following Him. It pleases Him. Carry your cross daily... Keep focus on Christ. Eyes fixed on that which matters.
