::302:: Relevance
Abide in the chaotic world where we are always feeling lost somehow
wat is really relevant to anything now adays?
The song that the radio play,
or the movie that you caught last sunday?
Do we really feel connected or are we just looking for something to relate on?
Random;
The world prays in unity once in a long time where nature decides to strikes back and
take away wat was created, but do we really have to wait till then to pray in unity?
I guess we really do take alot of things for granted and only when it hurt do we realised the importance and reach out to people who are less capable of helping themselves.
Break.
Are we diving into rat race after rat race, escaping for a breather only to be caught back in non relevant chases again?
Tired; of people around and are suppose to be around.
When was the last time you stop to smell the roses?
When was the last time you stop and told people u cared?
or are u jus chasing ur own tail everyday waiting to wake up to the same chase again?
Irony of the world, where beauty and love can only be shared after the storm.
lighter note, Happy Birthday, me.

::300:: Post-Easter
Our lord walk on, with blood on his face and cuts on his back, still freshly splitted open by the crackling whips, he walked on. He was spitted on, insulted and mocked at for a crime that they could not name.
He was the king of Jews.
They celebrated that same title with his entrance into the holy land and now cheers are turned to stones which are thrown at where they had laid palm leaves upon. He knew it would come and yet through every step that he took in pain, he was taking it for the very people who are cursing him.
The people he healed in faith was no longer an act of God but lowered as a spell of the demons.The truth he shared were now nothing but words that were against their teaching. No chains could hold him if he did not allow them to and yet he choose kept faith and follow the devine plan.
The plan that will test him to the limits of pain.
The plan that will humiliate him in front of the people that once followed and worship him.
The plan that made even his closest followers deny him for who he really is.
The plan that will lead him to the path of bleeding to death.
He knew what was coming to him from the start before even arriving into the city. He was scared and seek for another option. It had to be done and he went, in faith.
Carring a cross that did not belong to him, wounded, weak and shamed to all possible limits, he lay down at the stage for the final act. The crown of thorns kept blood ozing fresh from his head and his heart. He screamed as the nails pierce through his limbs which no longer served any purpose. Pinned up like the thiefs that were along with him, he prayed. He prayed for forgiveness for people who did not know and for the people who made his sacrifice worth while.
He kept faith in God's plan even though it seem so senseless to be saving people who are mistreating him at the very moment. He kept faith as his blood began to dry.
Physical Pain could only bother him that much but the final nail of the coffin came in the darkest hour of mankind. Our lord was turned away but the one most important thing in his life and was forsaken. The act was done, we played our part in mockery, abuse and disbelieve but now we are all saved. His spirit was commited as the final prize.
I know good friday and easter have passed like a month ago but I really wanted to put this down as my 300th formal entry. It was important and I really wanted to highlight this in significance. Though I took some time to reach 300 but I guess the patient has brought in more thinking I have into what I really wanted to write about.
I am so sick of complainting about being mistreated, in my own measurements, unfairly by people I care about.How can that ever be compared to what my lord has gone through for me? How insignificant can my childish acts be as compared to the bitterness that he must have taken when the people that once he healed and taught turned their backs on him for someone so unworthy. He was never bitter about it but instead went on in faith so that one day, the people might see the light. How many of us could do that?
He knew he was walking to certain pain and torture but he persisted on to do what had to be done. When we are facing minor hurdle that is laid before us, we complain, question and escape. Only to find the hurdle reappearing again in a vicious cycle where we would find another exit for.
How many times do we see God's plan for us forming in front of us but we keep rejecting it by trying to take our own way? We fail and yet we would continue to trust every other option except the very faith we were suppose to keep? Are you willing to do something that totally dont make any sense to you just because hs ask you to do so? So who are we really even to use the word faith?
I complaint about the values that my friends would hold for me but again how small and worthless are the things I did compared to the level of humiliation he had to endured? For the king of all kings to be stripped and spitted at by the people he was showing his love for, how much pride and selflessness must he have shown.
To endure all the physical pain is one thing as they say there is only so much pain u can take before it all feels the same( which I seriously doubt), but to be turned away emtionally and spiritually by something that was all he ever believe in was devastating. How much emotional hurt can we compare to him when his religion is taken away from him for something he is innocent for?
We should be ashame for the complaints that we hold. At least I know I am. All the hurt and lack of attention or concern are so insignificant to what was laid down before us. Yet, only once a year in good friday does many remember this act of injust that was instilled into our lord which he never did once complaint. Are we praying for the people that we feel have ill-treated us or are we just complainting about them. I am extremely guilty for all the above and I hate the state of bitterness that I constantly choose to place myself in.
We are still refusing him, and in a way, still mocking him even after so many years have passed. We are always gulity but he still waits for the day we repent. I just feel we should really take some time to look into the mirror and question for once, at what type of person we indeed are before we lay judgement on others.
If your reading this I do pray that you take a minute of thought to question yourself before moving on with your usual page flicking.
The next time I complaint about such similiar topics, which I am sure I will, Can you please remind me what would Jesus do?
