God is the strength of my heart

So often, only in weaknesses do we reach out to God, and only as we reach out to God do we find the strength He always intended for us, the strength for whatever comes next.

Unyielding Love.

Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
Its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
Like a mighty flame.

God is love - even our desire for love points to him as the source of all love. God doesnt love us at a distance or remember us as an afterthought. He doesnt put condition on His love. He loves us in more ways than we can ever know because He knows us through and through. He loves us with the strongest love imaginable - a love that is as strong as death. In fact, He proved His love through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. This ultimate gift showed us that His love for us was, in fact, a love worth dying for.

擦肩而过

也许,那些年我错过的不是爱情,而是勇气。

I'm not sure yet.

I'm not sure yet
About life, about love
But in time
I'm sure it'll all be fine

Why were the old days better?

Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such question... When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.

It's easy to think the past was better than today. Most of us have selective memories. We only remember what we want to remember. However, when we look at the past through rose-coloured glasses, we run the risk of being ungrateful for what we have right now.

Our days, months and years are made up of both good times and bad. The tapestry of life's events makes up the very essence of who we are. Thank God for all the wonderful memories. Take the difficult things to God in prayer. Ask him what he wants us to learn from the present situation. God doesn't waste any of our experiences. He can use the good days, as well as the not-so-great days, to benefit us, if we let him. (:

The key is to remember things as they really were, to be content with things as they really are and to trust God to take care of the future.

Why worry? (:

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
