e s o p h o r i a -all about my imperfections as a confused sinner.

I am forgotten by them as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery. For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side; they conspire against me and plot to take my life. But I turst in you, O Lord; I say, "You are my God". Many times you deliver me from your enemies and from those who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.

Psalm 31:12-16

I was just discussing with Pris over Psalm 22 in school earlier on today. We were wondering why there are doubts about God written in the Bible. I realised why after reading on... haha. It was how differently God treats the sinners as compared to how we,earthly men, treat those who sin against us. So, i left my bible there and played Quake 4 on the PC. and guess what...

Miraculously, the wind blew and I didn't notice the pages had flipped a little. When i decided to rest from the strenuous gaming...i looked down on my bible and somehow, my eyesight automatically fell upon the first verse of the stanza,at the top. That's how i got my verse for today(at the top). It striked me so hard. As if it was for someone...or is it for me? Hmmm...

Strengthen your virtues and pillars that you hang on to in life, hold on to what's stable...what's lasting that will help you pull through the hard facts of life in the cruel world today where nothing's certain. These few verses comforted me. And it is my prayer that this verse comforts others,to whoever this would apply to :)

Hmm, i realise there are alot of things many people yearn for and literally drool over. A pair of Salvatore Ferragamo stillettos/sandals and a vintage looking LV handbag for the chicks? An Armani shirt perfected with an attractive scent from Escada, for the hunks in the club? An entire homeDJ rack complete with a fully sound-proof room and Sennheiser headphones with Wireless Technology,not forgetting the Denon Amp and unsatisfactory Bose spund quality for the DJ-to-be? The new ps3 or/and xBox 360 with limited editions game packages... a fast processor for the comp...a better sound card...graphic card* sorry i suck at it when it comes to the techonogy part*...for the tech geeks? Original/better quality lenses and flash for the SLR for the ones who love to capture moments that might be hard to come by,again , or simply take it as a hobby cum profession later on in life after they perfect the skill of photo-taking.

...Hmmm...maybe i want a...i really can't think of what else i want in life,materialistically. Maybe a new tennis racket,the Wilson n series,although i think its over-rated('cos they're selling the brand more than the real quality,itself).looks like you gotta think really hard about what to get me for my birthday, Its about 7-8 months away. You can start thinking now. :) haha.

Just remember,don't turn away from God,'cos He has always been there and will still be,no matter what. Acknowledge His presence in your life...and start to unravel the wonders and blessings He can't wait to pour out unto you.Embark on that new journey,dwell in the love and teachings of our Lord and you shall be blessed.

I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
