Emotions

Can you really trust them?

I've been reading this book by Dr. James Dobson.

(And of course, I sometimes read while imitating his voice in my head haha.)

(taken by instagram)

The topic of this book is self explanatory.

It's about EMOTIONS

...and whether we should really trust them.

The first part of the book was about: GUILT.

I'll write about it next because it was really worth sharing.

I PROMISE I'LL WRITE SOON.

Thank You

I just had this feeling that someone out there has been praying well for me.

I am truly blessed.

In Christ alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sins curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From a lifes first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand

I will stand, I will stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground, all other ground
Is sinking sand, is sinking sand
So I stand

From the inside out

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
Should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul
I give you control
Consume me from the inside out
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out

Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring you praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

Thank You

Thank You for reading..

Finally updated! And now testing...

I need God-- because I am weak

It was years back,
when I was still a teenager:
lost, free, rebellious...

and hmm... whatever else that you could think of that a teenager is.

I went to church, not really for worship,
but..
"just because" I felt like it.

Perhaps I was searching for something?
(what people would often say: The "Truth"?)

I'm not sure if I'm glad I went,
but there's something that really shot me like an ST bullet just went through me and; I get that burning feeling so deep and all.

That day, I heard someone saying that:

"Our strongest point could always be our weakest point."

...

At that time, I didn't really understand what it truly meant-
I did understand what this statement was..
but I underestimated it.

Because why?

It happened to me.

And the irony is--

Exactly the statement itself.

I won't want to mention what really happened, but to make it simple-
There was a point in time where I was so confident in myself that I wouldn't do such a thing; and in fact, I probably looked down on people who did them.

I will not mention what this "thing" is, but I'll leave it to you to imagine what it could be.

I would label them (who did those things) as someone I wouldn't be.

 And the truth is..

I was wrong.

TOTALLY wrong.

I became one of them..

People (like me) underestimate what the devil is really actually capable of- and then it hits you when you're totally not aware.

The devil will challenge you on the point that you really thought was your strongest.

And then he gets delighted when you've lost and failed to prove yourself.


People get so confident in the things that they believe they are strong in- but in fact, that's when they become weak.
They become weak when they get too confident in something thinking that they would never fail in those points that they are strong at.

I've learnt my lesson -- but it doesn't change the fact that I've done it.
And it haunts me every time that I think about it.

But now I know, how much I really need God in my life.
And it is because I am weak, and I want to humble myself to seek for guidance and to lead me not into temptation, but to think of WWJD.

~~~

This thoughts suddenly occurred to me... because this year, 2014.
I was so determined that I want to think of WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) before anything else--
But I seem to be constantly failing, always leaded into temptation.

And that's what reminded me of the earlier statement.
"Our strongest point could always be our weakest point."

I THANK GOD FOR HE IS A FORGIVING GOD.
and because He loved us so much, He actually gave His only begotten Son, to live the same life as us (much worse life than us in fact) so that He could experience the pain and suffering we go through. And it was all because of

Love
