I'm not in vain in Jesus
Whatever you say... I don't want to go to hell and be with the fallen angels, or be scorched until even the scorched get scorched even more... and worse, I don't want to be in a place where hope is absolute zero. Gosh, I'm only living in hope, and I can't imagine how awful and dreadful it would be crying out in vain in a place devoid of any kind of hope.
I'm holding on to the hope that we profess. Time will come when all the worldly things will fade away and what's truly essential in life will just surface...
I am not a student who is apparently a Christian. I am a Christian who is apparently a student.
If you can't understand, don't bring others down the drain with your confusion. Instead, search for the truth (and please that relativism shall soon disappear...soon in God's context...) and don't just accept what's there and who you apparently become. Don't get too defensive. You, me, none that you see alive on Earth is perfect. But then again we should not use our imperfections as reasons not to become better individuals. There are a lot to learn in life and how we live our lives is what matters to God, not the trophies, or Nobel Peace Prizes, or gold medals or top ranking certificates but again, how we live our fleeting lives including how we do things and what are/is inside us.
Where does our hope or confidence based upon? Tell me if your dad dies tomorrow what would you be? If your financial stability shatters in seconds what will you do next? If your achievements all go worthless even in terms of the world, what then? If you are just forgotten in the end, what else? I do not know what kind of things people have within them and what kind of things they think about or what kind of goals they want to achieve. I do not know if they desire to surpass Mr. Gates in his wealth or Sir Isaac in his intelligence or whatever... (-ever digressing- Although I believe it's just crazy to make sweeping statements like " everybody wants to be rich" and stuff... PLEASE say that only when you have interviewed all the 6.4 billion plus people in the world. But then again I doubt if you can live 6.4 billion seconds if assuming you can interview 1 person per second-->resulting to some 12K years to live regardless of distance and other difficulties to face). But I just hope that their characters don't rot as the world's. They can do anything, but I hope people would choose to do the right thing, what is pleasing to God that is. And I just hope that the basis of their confidence isn't any shakable entity.
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed. It may not be justifiable with anything seen at the moment because all the things we see may just be mere deception (especially if you ask Descartes) to test us or just say what we see seems to be the only thing justifiable, but I believe that faith will justify us in the end. The seen things emerged from the unseen, and so the unseen is definitely more powerful. If it were not the case, we could have had understood all the mysteries of this existence. So in a way, one can say that relying too much on physical data may fail us, but relying to what seems unreliable to what seems unproven with what we can control may bring us better ends, even incomparably better.

^_^ haha... my article has so much digressions and without a definite topic... basically my post is just trying to imply some of the things that happened to me during my blog hibernation, and obviously they weren't under one identifiable blanket topic.
anyway, I have broken my silence! And I praise the Lord for all the problems I'm having and obstacles that I've gone through... I'm glad I'm given this opportunity to exist and live and know Him =).
One more paper! yehey!
And Korinna, Jeunesse (??) and Shaider are going home soon with Robs (????). I'm definitely happy for them =).
I have a month long vacation ahead here in Spore loaded with hall stuff =)... haha... I wonder how'd I fare... Anyway, i better end this blog soon and rest then study =). God bless ya friends! ¶ 7:21 PM
