Meditations

Am truly delighted. Wrote 2 songs some time back on the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.

Today got back a preliminary arrangment recording from Anne. Simply lovely. Hearing the songs, it brought deep meditations of Christ, His love, His great love, His only love. The love that covers that multitude of sins. The love that demonstrated the glory of God where justice and love meets on the Cross.

O how I can deny the Savior's love, the loud echo of the Redeemer, the silent cry in those hours of darkness, the anguish on His brow..all unseen till light brought forth His triumphant victory over sin that Christ relinquished His life.

Perhaps, the most easy thing to forget is the matchless love of Christ. When we think even for a second and question the love of Christ, we need to turn our gaze back to Christ on the Cross and that would bring my denial of His love to a complete shame.

Thank God for His glorious gospel.

A touch of rest

Didn't know I could fall so sick. Perhaps not very sick.

But couldn't move much without feeling discomfort. Aching all over. Thought I had Chigagunuya virus (did i get the spelling right?) but I suspect it was more likely stomach flu. No fever just plain aching.

In the end, didn't get to do what I wanted to do this weekend. Was enforced rest. This rest did good. Thought through a lot of things which otherwise I am too busy to think about.

Being sick is a blessing. Next week would be going up to KL for a week...well perhaps rest..but taking a short course and having an exam..could be stressful..dunno but still glad..away from the work, the hustle and bustle of routine life.

Glad. God always know to providentially do His work of grace. I am glad for being sick. Thankful infact.

Count it not cross it

It is very interesting. I am suppose to be very sad...but sadly I can't.
Irony.

Thought through a lot of things this week. I know what triggered it but there I saw the bible on my table one night. I ask myself again about God and if I open the bible I know the bible will tell me about my God.

That is exciting. I have read this month and last extensively on Genesis. I am very intrigued by the life of Abraham again. This time round when I read it, one starking reality was seen. God's over-riding purpose and design of Abraham's life covers Him. Abraham was accounted as righteous because He believed God. Sure Abraham has his failures and moments of sin, yet God's purpose prevail. Abraham did seek God. His heart is for God. Issac's sacrifice proved that. Abraham is a man of faith.

Abraham's life counted for God's purpose. Out of Abraham, Israel will be born.

I thought about it and prayed, considering the passage I read. I do not want to go thorough life with a crossed cheque of eternal security of heaven, and count nothing for God. I do not want to think that all of life will be self, will be guarding just against sin but I desire God to prevail over my heart and that my life will reflect His love.

I think I have seen much of myself. Much of how others have conceived Christianity. The bible is not life applications per se. The bible is not a instruction manual per se. Peter says it pertains to life and godliness. What life? The redeemed life. The life that regards that I will love God with all my heart soul and strength.

I shared from Matthew 22 justlast week with campus when a question was posed. There are far greater and most important things of life to consider. God is the God of the living not the dead. We live lives dealing with temporal more than eternal. Christians can be dead man walking when they see Christ as a cross cheque and not count Christ as gain that they may live for His purpose and plan.

How our own heart and the world has deceived, few realised it. I know I am at best still selfish. The end of my ways has not been consistently God. The means of my ways has not been consistently God. The greatest reality in still God. To put confidence in man is fooliness. To place trust in God is wisdom. I thank God for this thought. I saw the bible. I hope I saw my God. God's word is powerful. I saw the life of Abraham brought God's conquering deliverance. Abraham lived for God. God lived in Abraham.

I want my life to count not cross it.

窗外

架着车，看着窗外.

时间走着，周围也变了。

来到了麻坡 (Muar),仿佛回到了过去，时间停顿了。

感到历史。感到回光。

风景依旧。太阳在窗外。

麻坡的佳肴依然不变。

就这样过了休闲的二月十四。

窗外

感谢神。过了美好的一天。

音乐是奇妙的

绿色森林里有一台钢琴。

悠闲的弹奏。

她的音乐动人。

全生命欢赏。

音乐是奇妙的。

矛盾

有时，我忍为，可是不是。

人算不如天算。 人。 哎，不知道在算什么？

我算。不是让天安排。我以为是。是吗？
