these few weeks have been a time for concern...
so many people worried about the SARS... the war in Iraq...
i just wanna take this time to express my personal feelings and things that i am deeply concerned about...
all these incidents happening around the world, i'm sure many of u wonder, why.... why... why...
some may be thinking, as long as i take care of myself, it will be fine...
others may be realising how blessed they've actually been... by comparing their lives with the less fortunate..
this is a time when the world comes to a realisation, and point to stop and reflect, to think about life... the frailty of life...
or simply, how easy life can just come and go...
yes, its like that, the human life is fragile.. it has always been... sometimes we don't realise it...
sometimes we dont think about it... other times we just dont bother.
life is so uncertain. everything that we possess, everything that we hope to gain in life- the degrees, diplomas, the 5 room condominiums, the 5 figure income... big things... to the smaller things like the dress you've been eyeing for the past month, the new fender guitar you've been saving up for... or maybe u just want to grow up, get a job, get married and settle down... sounds safe, you're not doing anything wrong.... so it should all go smooth...
imagine all this gone in an instant. with a snap of a finger...
im not trying to be a pessimist, nor am i cursing anyone here...
but this is real. the real world. try asking yourself this question seriously for once, and think hard about it...
"What are we living for?"
nothing in this world that we live for is stable. nothing in this earth is for certain..not our money, not our studies, not our degrees, not our health...not even our boyfriend or galfriends... :P
if human love is something we can hold on to 100%, there will not be break ups, there will not be disloyalty, there will not be disappointment and sadness...
this brings me to 1 realisation... humans are flawed. period. we all know this, but sometimes we live as if it doesnt matter.. we continue to enjoy our saturday nights out in the discos and pubs, we continue to gossip behind our own friends' back, and then lie about how much we love them...
we need to hold on to something more firm than this... we need to depend on someone more trustworthy than ourselves...
we need to prepare ourselves beyond what we see in front of us everyday...
in every single human being, within each of our souls lie an empty space...
this space is a hole in our hearts... it shouldnt be there, but it is.
it causes us to feel hurt, loneliness, and aimlessness.. this empty space is there whether u admit it or not...
this is the spiritual gap between u and the being who created you.
this is the hole that we want to fill so much.... so much so that we go great lengths in search for a stone to fill it... we go partying in search for friends, for love, to fill the loneliness...we do dance, we listen to music, we think we need the rhythm to get us going... we try aromatherapy, to relief the stress... we play games to amuse ourselves...
we try to be good people, by donating money to the needy regularly...we don't do drugs, we don'd drink, we don't smoke.... we try to be good people maybe...
we try so hard to rectify the flaws we know we naturally have...
at this point, if u think i'm trying to preach to you, let me just say "i am not."
i just think that since i have a blog, i might as well make better use of it, instead of just rambling away about my sleepless nights, or my daily happenings...
and tonight i want to share what i strongly feel about us as human beings...
yes you guys know i am a Christian and i seem to be always talking about my God, Jesus Christ... yes i do that because i have found God and He is real to me and to many people... and i still choose to put my life in Him because He never fails... the world may crumble but Jesus is the same... He loves me, He sees to my needs, He died for me and cleansed me of my sins... He forgives me of my flaws... and of course, i believe He made me... thats why i need His forgiveness..
this is the faith i have found to believe in Jesus.
also, i know my life on earth is not the only one... :) i am an alien and i belong somewhere else...
my urge to whoever reading this is:
go search for the rock to fill that empty space in your heart, your soul... go seek something that isnt as uncertain and fragile as humanity...
look for something more meaningful, that doesn't fade away once if u are faced with a breakup, the danger of war, or SARS...
think about your own life...find that never changing love, or forever strong wall to depend on...
if u need help, i recommend Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.. He grants me everlasting life, unconditional love, and eternal forgiveness....
you only need to believe in Him and accept Him as the One who made you and the One who died for you, and the One who loves u 100% non stop...
if u don't want to take in what i say, it's entirely your privelege... i won't be unhappy, i won't see u less as a friend nor hate you...
don't blame me for saying so much, don't hate me for reminding you about life... it's my blog, and u chose to read it :P
forgive me if u are unhappy...
after all, it's my birthday
