i rejoice with much thanksgiving. and i will rejoice. 'tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.
God of my days-Gateway
You awaken my heart From slumbering Meet me in mourning And you speak to my grief
You're the light in my darkness The delight of my eyes The hope of the daybreak When the sun's slow to rise
I trust that every moment's in your hands You're the God of my days The King of my nights Lord of my laughter Sovereign in sorrow You're the Prince of my praise The love of my life You never leave me You are faithful God of my days
You unveil my eyes Help me to see The arms of my Father Encircling me You're a constant companion I am never alone Your love is the banner That's leading me home
how apt.

introspection.
i have to admit, i have a problem with questionnaires. not that i dont answer them truthfully, i do. but as a matter of fact, i struggle with the options provided. some of my answers might become outliers when the experimenter does a scatter plot but so be it. my reasonings are different from the layman's point of view. where do i draw the line? do i keep my christian perspectives when it's time to think like everyone else so that datas can be accurate and go with the flow of things? to be 'in the group'? the fact that i struggle with answering the hundreds of questions i've done for rp points to one thing. i have been consumed by christian values and a line should never be drawn to compromise the truth from reality.
i concur with ACS. the best is yet to be. of course best can refer to various things. with reference to life in eternity, the best is yet to be. however the best has also come to be. Jesus has come to set the standard and to be the example. He's the best that we can ever have. i shared with wai ling the other day that life is always good, just that it has varying degrees. but the bottom line is, life is good because God has meant for it to be. it's just its varying degrees that gets us all disillusioned and downcast.
on the other hand, the worst is yet to be. for life without Christ, there is still eternity. but the essence of it is lost. how painful will it be to dwell in a Godless place. which is why hell is so scary. it is not the blazing furnaces that makes hell like hell, but the true torment of it all is the eternal separation from the Giver of all good things, the Giver of Life.
the difficulty is not in realising that we have a Saviour, but that we need one.
on Christ the solid rock i stand, all other ground is sinking sand. and my song shall ever be.
