My top priority

My top priority
He who will never leave and never dies.
We don't have to work to impress God.
He knows who we are and accepts us with unconditional love.

Farewell


The events of this week is a whirlwind of catastrophe. I find myself unable to blog due to personal reasons.

1. It involves unfictional events and real people.

2. I fear of exposing my true emotions.

It has come to a deeper sense of realization how imperfect one can be; yet still be worthy of God's endless mercy. I believe Him to be the only person who loves me unconditionally. Only He expresses love so freely. Sadly, there are times I turn my back when I do not feel His presence. He is also the reason for this post.

If I can, I wish to compose music to relate better to these thoughts and aspirations hidden within me. If I can, I wish to fly away from this place,never to return again.

Things aren't that simple. Despite all that I potray, I am a broken, bruised soul longing for redemption.

We do not often say what we want to say. We only hope others are compassionate enough to discover what we actually mean.

The tendency to be withdrawn is ever so appealing. Loneliness can sometimes be the only friend we can trust in bleak times. I should learn to be content with it. But before that. sorting out residues of the passing moments, I wish to thank my friends who were there during my predicament. There is nothing I can offer but prayers and blessings.

For now, I bade you farewell until I am fully recovered, spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Please forgive me, for I am not strong enough for the world....

To be loved and love is one I cannot have yet, for that I mourn

Us against the world


Us Against The World

Verse 1
You and I, we've been at it so long

I still got the strongest fire

You and I, we still know how to talk

know how to walk that wire


Sometimes I feel like the world is against me

The sound of your voice baby that's what saves me

When we're together I feel so invincible


Chorus

'Cause it's us against the world

You and me against them all

If you're listening to these words

Know that we are standing tall

I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall

'Cause it's us against the world tonight


Verse 2

There'll be days we'll be on different sides

But that doesn't last too long

We find ways to get it on track

We know how to turn back on


Sometimes I feel I can't keep it together

then you hold me close and you make it better

When I'm with you I can feel so unbreakable


Chorus


Bridge

We're not gonna break 'cause we both still believe

We know what we've got and we've got what we need alright

We're doing something right


I absolutely love this song by Westlife. There are times when life turns its back against us. This is where we need so much strength to go on. There are those times when we feel so alone. But fear not, when all hope is gone, there is always something there we can cling on to to feel whole again. We can always turn to Him. For in faith, we have the one thing that won't leave us. A love so great it will last for an eternity. The constant reminder that we are loved.

To be loved, we must first be lovable.
To be accepted, we must first learn to accept.

Being unwanted,unloved,uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat... We must find each other.

Noah


( Pictures of dawn that I personally liked from the webbie,lol)



It's a fine morning today with the bright sunlight upon my head as I open the gates. With the bible in my hand,let's move onwards, starting on Human Wickedness before the story of Noah.

When the world's population had grown and daughters were being born, the men folk became more choosy. They chose only the beautiful ones. Then the Lord said," I will not allow people to live forever;they are mortal. From now on they will live no longer than 120 years."

He saw that everyone on earth was wicked and how evil their thoughts were that He began to feel sorry that He ever created them. Filled with regret, He announced that He would wipe out all the people He had created, including the animals and the birds. However, there was one exception. Noah. He was pleased with Noah and decided to spare him.

He told Noah of His plans and instructed Noah to build a boat out of good timber; make rooms in it and cover it with tar inside out. The boat should be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. There would be a roof for the boat and a space of 18 inches between the roof and the sides. Three decks is ample enough for the whole boat and put a door in the side. Noah was told to take his wife, sons and their wives, together with a male and female of every kind of animal and bird, in order to keep them alive. He also need to take along all kinds of food for everyone in the ark.Noah did everything God commanded.

Noah was 600 years old when the flood occurred. He was further told to take seven pairs of each kind of ritually clean animals, but only one pair of each kind of unclean animal and seven pairs of each kind of bird. The sign of the GREAT flood was rain that fell for forty days and nights. The water did not start to go down for a hundred and fifty days.

I fear if I would have lived then, can I believe I am not one of the chosen one spared to live? It was gruesome to think of the dark days before.Noah must have been very righteous to deserve God's mercy.
Even now the world seem to be in a mess, one way or another.If it isn't politics, it may be economic or warfares, plus other issues I have yet to mention.

I wonder what God has in store for us as the days passed by. We are all but pilgrims on earth. So temporary.
More on Noah in my next post. Need to head to work now.Laters!

The story of love is not important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
