Friday, February 2, 2007: blogsurfing
i've been guilty of blogsurfing again, but this time, i dont feel envious or jealous. i feel a pang of mixed emotions. i feel sad, glad, thankful, peaceful. i think one thing that struck me most this time was the emo-ness of posts. i guess sometimes things hit a low, sometimes things feel like life hasnt no direction, sometimes we all feel there's no reason to be on this earth for. which is true i guess, in the sense that the world is no comfort to our sorrows, the only place we truly belong to is heaven.
but, if you actually think about it, God was the creator of the earth, God made the heavens and the earth, God made the pretty flowers and the nice shady trees, God made the animals, both cute and ugly, God made you and me. we were all in His masterplan. the world really belongs to God, not satan. its the decisions people choose to make, its the life we want to have, its the course of action we rather follow, that has made this world so fallen.
mmm, oh well. we all just need to remember to cling onto the hope that God is faithful and His grace is more than sufficient for us to carry through this lifetime.
which can be difficult when your down in the doldrums.
but, Jesus is the only one that can be the bright shining light in all the darkness surrounding us.
i suppose being on this earth, for me, teaches me to treasure my relationship with Jesus more, even though it can be hard because He's not physically there, but i guess that's what faith is right? faith is believing in what you cannot see, and putting your hope and trust into a person who does nothing to harm, only to do good.
again, the need to read up more on His word so that we can be grounded in our faith and be encouraged to continue and move on, the need for prayer, God listens and understands and He provides the help that we need, the need to love Him, because if we love him, we love the people around us, the way He does.
i was watching criminal intent last night, and this peculiar line struck me. "you can go either way", its is quite true though when you're struggling, you can either choose to hold on to God's promise or the comfort of secular nature. its ultimately a choice that we have to make, and a decision we all struggle with.
and i think, life is just life. it's a gift from the Father, He wants us to live it, in His joy, fullness and freedom, the way He meant it to be. we cling on to the hope that we will eventually get to heaven. and for now, i'll be happy, knowing that God loves me, in a way nobody can match up to. and i know, my life can be exciting, because i have God in my life.
a shout of praise.
