i have successfully learnt "you hold me now" on guitar ! happy :D

It is tough to reply a genuine ok to someone who ask me not to worry

Titus 1:15

To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their mind and consciences are corrupt.

The above verse has made quite an impact on me. I have to admit that my past weeks have not been great, it has been rather rocky I would say.

The above verse just reminded me of my past week, the bad things that have happened, the bad decisions I have made and the things i have felt unhappy about. Everything just ran through my head as I read the verse.

Titus 1:15 tells me not to be wishy washy about the important decisions I make daily. Very often I find myself contemplating between choices, worrying about whether I have made the right choice even though that should not be the case. Every once in a while I think that a massive decision will come by, but it should not occur too often. It sets the line for me, am I going to trust God or not ? I realize that if I am well rooted in God, I do not have to worry, there will be things that I get anxious about but at the same time, I can trust in God to help me tide over them. However, if there exist in me, an area of doubt, an area of disbelief, then even if God wanted to help me, it would be futile since I harbored disbelief.

I got to say that it is not easy having that much trust, it is difficult to rely solely on the Father alone and live a "my life is in God's hands" life. However, it is not impossible, being a worry wart for years now, I want to work my way towards having that trust in God, that regardless of the surroundings, that regardless of what might happen next, I want to be able to say that God is in control.

I just realized today that the place where people are born into, decides half of their fate.

I used to think that everyone would more or less be the same, like .. regardless of their surroundings, their circumstance. I believed that if a person tried hard enough then anything is possible. But today, i realized that ... that is not the case...

I found out that the place in which a person is born into, will shape their future and their mentality in one way or another.

Take for example a person that is:

born into a poor family, would value cash alot

born into a family that doesn't know how to reflect love, would value being loved alot

For me, I am born into a blessed family, there have been tough times, but in general, all has been good. Yet I feel disheartened at times, because I cannot relate to families that are not as blessed.

I want understanding, I want to know what it is like to have a bumpy life, to have a bad start. It means so much to me, to be able to understand to your situation.

None but God alone can bring me there, to the place of understanding.

perhaps i'm like over sensitive ? but why do i keep getting the feeling that i'm offending someone ?

love is in abundance in this world, the problem is that people choose not to see it, they dun say it and they have no idea how to express it out.

its so simple, just telling ur friend "I love you" or "you are loved", just to let them know that they are cherished. but yet it is also very very difficult, when was the last time you told someone that you cherished them ? when was the last time you told someone that you loved them ?

Love is in abundance all around, start showing people love. Christ started the ball rolling by giving His life, now you just have to pass it on

most likely will be guitar-ing every saturday before service
