Testings and trials

Had a great, tiring day.

QT:
Romans 3 - Romans 5.

Romans 5 : 3 - 5
³Not only so, but we^c]">[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Romans 5 : 19
¹⁹For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

God spoke to me in two verses. Firstly, [Romans 5:3-5]. I took this verse in reference to a small part of section of the movie "Evan Almighty". In the movie , Morgan Freeman quoted something like "When you ask God for a blessed wholesome family, will he not break the family apart to achieve that? When you ask God for financial security, will he not put you through immense tests so that we can finally achieve what we desire?" Just like what morgan freeman quoted in the movie, we can't expect what we want to just drop down from the sky. We have to push and push and carry on pushing these waves that keep falling down on us. And that driving force of our perseverance is not by our sheer human strength and understanding but by our faith in Him. Perhaps we should remember this that "God is god and you are not". Do not try to do things by your own, because you will not only fail in doing so but fail so badly that you would feel so lousy and depressed. Let Him take control. Let him be the Center of our life.

What's life worth living for?

From today onwards,
Instead of whining and complaining,
I'll not just let things be but actually go about resolving the issue and trying to do
whats necessary instead of just giving up.
I wanna do great things for the kingdom.
I shall stop talking and actually start doing.
I need to get my fundamentals right.
I need to "wake up".

QT: Acts 28 , Romans 1 - Romans 2.

^{Acts 28
26}" 'Go to this people and say,
"You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving."
²⁷For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'

Romans 1:17
¹⁷For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,^c]">[c] just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

Romans 2:1-4
¹You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. ²Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. ³So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? ⁴Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?

God spoke to me in these verses above. Obedience is not hearing but actually doing it. Hearing and executing co-exist. One cannot do without the other. I realised I have been claiming so much of what I want to do, but I do not do. I want to try my best, no matter how hard it seems, how difficult situations bring me down to my deepest recessions, how much tears I have to shed. I want to do something for the Kingdom.

Lord, direct me to where you want me to go. Guide me in every single area, point out my mistakes and mould me into a man after your heart so that I can do your will to the best I can, optimizing every opportunity given at hand.

Come to senses.

I have to make the right choices.
this aint gonna bring me anywhere,
because it escalated to nothing.
me and my stupid thoughts.
perhaps that 3 defining moments didn't knock the brains out of me.
the message was clear. I didn't heed.
I've got to get myself together,
to be strong , take it in my stride and persevere on.
there is no point in this. it's futile.
the war just ended.

i feel terribly down and so damn lousy.

he could only dwell in those small instances which weren't of any meaning but made him felt at least a little better than before.

SICK

It's times like this when you don't wanna breathe or live.
I'm as weak as a week.
My lips are as pale as a pail.
I'm tired like tried.
I'll just pray that I get healed like ASAP.

Thank you.

Thank you for caring for me when I'm sick. I'm still sick when I'm writing this now but I just wanna thank you so much. You've been a great person to me :)

Hello

long time since I wreckorded something. NOOB COVER. WHATEVER , ^^.

As I mozilla-ed aimlessly, I read a previous post in my blog.

"Do not be afraid or wary of your future. I have it all planned down , every single instance. Instead , put trust in me for I only give the best to you, my child. Do not give up , for the times of adversity are there to strengthen you.You may not see what I'm trying to convey now, but you'll reap the results in due time. Do not give in to temptations, for Satan has schemingly fooled you already. Fix your eyes upon me and make me your first priority."

Well , guess this post of mine really encouraged me.

QT: Acts 25 - Acts 27

God did not speak to me in any verse but he spoke to me:
"Do not be afraid or wary of your future. I have it all planned down , every single instance. Instead , put trust in me for I only give the best to you, my child. Do not give up , for the times of adversity are there to strengthen you.You may not see what I'm trying to convey now, but you'll reap the results in due time. Do not give in to temptations, for Satan has schemingly fooled you already. Fix your eyes upon me and make me your first priority."

I believe you're my Healer
I believe you are all I need
Jesus you're all I need

I believe you're my portion
I believe you're more than enough for me
Jesus you're all I need

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is imposssible for You
You hold my world in your hands

he tells himself to not let negative thoughts overwhelm his cranial region.
but , what's predominant are the negative thoughts.
what good thoughts does he have?
he envies other people who are so happy in pictures,
because he never actually smiled in a picture before.

tears flowed violently down his eyes,
he cried out unto God " Lord , it's so hard. It's just so hard. "
his only wish was to create a better future,
for his past was so bad he didn't want to remember.
nobody accepts , everybody judges. Reality Strikes.
The only one who really accepted him was God.
would you kindly lift me up , please.

Was browsing youtube videos on funny noises you can make with your guitar.

This particular BAKA(idiot) pissed me off.

The end times.

[ Acts 2:44-47 ]
