An illustration of flower.

One of the best illustration of our human life is flower.
Although it cannot speak, smell, hear or see as we do, it can grow from zero to something so amazing for everyone to see.

This is not a poetic entry and I definitely have nothing more to share than a thought.

Flower started all basically from a seed. I'll skip the scientific explanation (for easy understanding) but it always amaze me how this tiny little thing can blossom into something so beautiful. Like all these wild flowers below, their growth are not controlled by human (of course, nowadays, scientist can manipulate these traits already but anyway, lets go back to the basic) and their physical colours are not determined by how much water were watered but by their genetic trait (specifically, DNA). If human were a flower seed, I'm pretty sure we won't know what colour we will show as we grow. Same as in our life, at our infant stage, we were unconcious of these things. As we got older, we still weren't able to see clearly enough how far we can go or to what extent we can grow. But by looking at these flowers, isn't it encouraging to know that we can blossom in such a way that finally leads to a productive life?

Another thing about flowers is that, one species is different from the other. Yet, these flowers can live and grow together in harmony, without destroying one another. Plus, its the color that pops out rather than the weeds. Just like us, we are different from one another. Different talent, different personality, different culture, different height (different weight? =)), and the list goes on and on...

I'm just simply trying to say that its encouraging to learn from these abundant nature God created that we often overlook. Love love looking at nature stuffs (Well, i guess its genetic. =))




P.s.- Personally, recalling back, as i write this entry, a friend of mine gave me a nickname "flower" before when i was young. I never know why. But I guess its just for fun. =) #justsaying

Hidden

Let the unknown, remain unknown.
Let the hidden, remain hidden.
Let it be covered, unnoticable.
What is not known, won't bring further mess.
Needless pain can be avoided.
If only it remains hidden.
But Lord, what's hidden from men is not hidden from You.
So let it be.
Just between You and me.

"I Choose Jesus"



I have searched to find
The meaning of this life
Something that would
Fill my empty soul
Some believe a lie
Choose darkness over light
But I will stand and let
The whole world know

I choose Jesus
I choose Jesus
The One who first chose me

I stand unashamed
Trusting in one Name
‘Cause I have seen the cross
And I believe
This choice comes at cost
All other things are lost
No other love could
Mean so much to me

I choose Jesus
I choose Jesus
The One who first chose me
I choose Jesus
I choose Jesus
For now and eternity

He chose to love me
When I felt unlovable
He chose to reach me
When I felt unreachable
He carried me out
Of my fear and doubt
How I want the world to know
I choose Jesus

I choose Jesus
I choose Jesus
The One who first chose me
My Jesus
I choose Jesus
For now and eternity


For now and eternity

What sustains.

Its been a long while since I last posted something here.
I'm not going to write some poem or something epic to be remembered.

What I'm about to talk about is something personal and something that really means a lot. I have shared about how I came to know the LORD almost 4 years ago. And His overwhelming love that keeps me has sustained until today! :)

Yesterday, we had our final service and I worship led. The presence of God is so sweet and again, overwhelming. When I couldn't contain the overwhelming feeling inside me, I would cry. But everytime I would always be concious and not be strayed away by the feelings because I KNOW that as a worship leader, we are leading the congregation into the atmosphere of worship. What I did not expect was that, after the free worship, God's love suddenly came bursting out like a flood. And I really mean it. A FLOOD. For the first time, I couldn't contain it. It overflowed and I just gave in to His warm embrace. For the first time, I feel like God is saying "Its OK. I am here." And there goes the sobbing like a lost child just found her dad. I must admit, even minutes (even seconds!) in His presence is a life-changing moment. Choking back the tears, we continue deeper in worship.

And as we go deeper to worship, God brings me back to years ago when I first accepted Him into my life as a living God. It was the love of God that i felt that totally change my life. You know, I was about to write it all out here but i really can't find words to express it. God is faithful. There are many times I have (honestly) taken Him as granted. And we all do. We sometimes just lost it, being a human still. But His mercy endures forever.

"If you fall down, get back on track and move forward. Don't stay where you are"

There are times I couldn't bring myself to forgive myself for things that I've done. But its His reassuring words
 that convicts me. And I forgave.

Love in Greek.

It feels like it was just yesterday when I found that agape love. And it is what sustains us.

Be blessed.

2013.

A new year.

A new day.

A new heart.

A new song.

Blessed 2013! :)
