At the Crossroads of Life and Death

Sometimes, when we grow up in a certain setting we feel we do not really have to choose where we end up.

But the line between eternal life and eternal death is actually really thin.

Do not let the Devil have a foothold.

Yet "Trust in the Lord", a phrase so easy to say, so hard to keep.

A phrase that means everything when you stand on the line between two of the oldest enemies in "Time".

And if you ever do, which I hope you never have to, I pray you pray God gives you strength. I pray that you remember, Jesus died for you. Its such a basic, simple statement that we all know, and many were brought up on it, its so simple, but think about that statement. Everything, the purest, most beautiful, righteous, glorious, He became, defiled, slain, cursed, for you.

For you, a broken being. For you, forever struggling. For you, always in pain. For you, always seeking for more. For you, a greedy, selfish creature. For you, self-centered, and self-serving. For you, a human. Why are you throwing it all away? Why are you throwing love away? Why are you throwing life away? Why are you throwing hope away?

You are loved. I promise you. There is hope. There is a reason to keep going on. There is a reason why. Even if you may not see it now, trust. And let Him be in control. He knows where you're going, now and always. And I pray, we make it to the end.



He died for you.

The Lesson of Brokenness

Sometimes in order for God to bless you, you need to be broken.

Weak, humble, all of your securities of this world and physical life need to be gone. Your strongest strength taken from you, then God can bless you and give you eternal and lasting strength that can do anything, even the impossible. You must lose yourself to God, to find yourself in God.

Jacob learnt this lesson in a painful way. His strong hipbone shattered. Only then did God bless him and rename him Israel. And his life was changed.

"There is nothing more I need than You,
Nothing I have seen has been more beautiful,
Nothing I have learnt more true,
Than coming to know more of You.

Having been touched by you,
The rest of the whole world fades,
Been broken down,
So I can rise again.

You break me to made me,
You kill me to heal me,
You're in me, I'm in You,
You love me, and I love You."
