An open letter to Christians.

We live in an age where there is just too much information laying around, there is just too much things to do, too much to see, too much to know and too much to care for. It's as if we had forgotten to live simple, to do what's important and to care for what's real and lasting. We argue too much, and we force our views on others, having our pride puffed up and thinking that we are the real deal. We think too highly of ourselves and we put ourselves at a higher place and we think too much of who we are and what we are capable of. 

We make things complicated and call it simple, we create inventions that bore us, we do things that benefit us only at the cost of others around us, we steal, we lie and we cheat our way through at the disguise of being fair, fighting for equality, doing justice. Two wrongs just don't make one right, but sadly that's the nature of things now. We continue to do wrong to cover up previous mistakes. 

Information is handy but we are just too damn lazy to look for it, there is no virtue as self sacrifice but none practise it anymore. We are scared of losing out and we look out for the best, but only for ourselves. We polish this thing called self esteem at the behest of others.

We forgive too little and we take heart too often. We are discontented too much of the time and we don't want to work for what we want. We are compassionate too little and we are cruel easily, we don't see the value of second chances and condemn a man for making a mistake in his life. We judge too quickly and execute too hastily. 

We make it seem as if we care when we really don't. We lie to ourselves and say its okay when it is not. We who are fortunate never take enough time to think of unfortunate ones. We tell ourselves that there is nothing that we can do so that we can make ourselves feel better, we misled ourselves and end up believing in a lie. 

This is the lie, our lives, self conceited and self serving, there is no role of helping the poor, of feeding the starved, and of the putting of smiles on the faces of our kindred. It's me or you, it's a man eat man world, there is no more compassion, no more love.

This is the society that we are currently living in, we kill to enforce our will, we destroy to exert strength, we pillage at the cost of the unfortunate, we steal to enrich our bellies. Our greed knows no bounds, our damnation well deserved. 

We call ourselves enlighten because we build and communicate, we call ourselves advanced because of our inventions, we dominate and rule the earth, we who proclaim to be the rulers of land. We plunder the earth for it's resources never giving back, we till the ground and tear down trees destroying natural habitats for unnatural ones. We lay hold of a territory and call it ours. 

We build government and elect the corrupt, we allow them to lord and rule over us as if we are incapable. We let them run wild and take us for fools. We lament and lament and lament until there is no tomorrow but never taking any actions. This is the age we live in. 

Now go over this article another time before proceeding for better effect.




Then through it all, there was this one man, one person who took it upon himself, to make right the wrongs and to show us the way, this one man whose wrong was to be compassionate to the leper, to love the poor and afflicted, to ease burdens, to celebrate life with wine, now this one man, all he did was love and love and love, and being in the state that we were in, we condemned this one man, we put him to shame, slapped him around, we spat on him (yes every single one of us), we torment him with our gaze, we whipped him till his bones are bare, then we made him carry the instrument of his death, we tied him there with nails, and as if it weren't enough, we watched him bled. This man's death condemned us all, none excluded.

Selah.

But remember remember that this was the Man who came to redeem us all, that we men at their most cruel was forgiven. It was right at that moment that we were washed, His bright red blood cleansing us, it was precious no doubt, but He was willing. Then He rose again, signifying our complete forgiveness for the earth could not swallow Him. Therefore, Him being a pleasing sacrifice paid the most dearest of price, so that all our ungodly and unholy nature would be conforming to Him.


World peace is achieved when God fearing people start to realise that we are not of this world but of the world to come, there is loads of work to do for people who claim Christ as their Lord. There is much to be done.

A broken record.

I am beginning to sound like a broken record,
Repeating same old same old,
Knowing the things that I say has the same gist,
Knowing that it's just a play of words,
Words that are cleverly arranged.

Like a puzzle that is jumbled up,
Like a needle in a haystack,
Like the sand in the sea,
The stars in the sky,
Waiting to be arranged,
To be found,
Wait for someone to appreciate it's pattern.

There He is.....He is Jesus

It will never be enough,
There is nothing more that I can do,
It is a lost cause,
I wouldn't be able to repay.

My debt too high,
My crime too deep,
I cannot repay,
All mine good is filthy rags.

It will never be enough,
I have nothing to give,
Broken and poor,
I cannot compensate.

His Word.....The Bible....

How do I put it into perspective this thing called life?

How can I let my words do justice in life?

How should I let my actions perform now?

How would I express my longings?

I am a Christian!

He is the one and only,

He never fairs,

He does not stumble,

He is all lovely and fair,

There is none like Him!

He is the chosen one,

The only man that was born so that He dies,

When God made man, 

He made them immortal,

Man sinned and became mortal,

But when God sent Jesus,

He sent Him knowing He has to be.

Forever Saved

John 10:27-30

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father , which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.

My lovely lady....

A photo I took when we went on our very first trip together, I remember the spirit, the joy, the excitement and the love....

This was taken at some back alleyway,
Well, a photo speaks a thousand words....

To many many more days my love, my sweetheart,
To many many more adventures together,
Me and you, 
Adventure is out there!!

Snippets of our love affair,
Jer Wei

PS : To my readers out there,
Ain't she a beaut??

One step at a time.

Lately, I have been blessed with a renewed sense of His love for me, I am reading my bible more consistently, been spending a little more time with Jesus, and have been depending on Him a little bit more, it has been awesome so far. It's humbling, yes, but ever so peaceful to spend time with my Lord and Saviour.

If you do not know by now already, I have been in the surgical department for some time now, almost one year as a medical officer and lately I have been thinking about the opportunities this line of work brings to me. Do I advance by getting into the masters program? Do I take an external exam? And if it is yes to any of those questions, how do I go about it?

Priorities

I want to try out a new routine in life. One that involves lesser sleep and more of productive time. I find that, now more than often, that sleep is a super luxury and that not everyone can afford it, that sleep sometimes can be too time consuming and unproductive. Sleep is definitely a blessing in disguise that so much so, we take it for granted. Do we really sleep when we sleep?

Taking some time to reflect

Lately I have been hit with 'giving the glory to Jesus' bug, I was force to look at my life critically and been made to wonder if I have put Him in the center of my life, whether my life gives him glory and honor, whether I have been faithful to the calling He has for me.

I am faced with some challenging situations which I have handled terribly, lost my cool, been hit with some failures and weaknesses. I see the state that I am in for real. Man, it is an eye opener.

Dramatically been increasing.

It's difficult to like someone,
It's fairly easy to adore someone,
It's easy to love someone,
It's elementary to fall in love.

Having you in my arms,
Staring into your eyes,
The lights dimmed,
Some purple, some yellowish.

Purple is the color of royalty,
And yellow, oh yellow,
That's the color of glory,
What colors, oh what is symbolizes.

I see you looking back,
Your gaze piercing into my soul,
And I started to broaden me lips,
Yes I started to smile.

Oh what wonders a smile can do,
It radiates the light,
It reflect the colors,
And I see you smiling back,
It melts my heart,
Oh it makes my soul yearn.

It's been sometime since we last looked into each others eyes,
I am glad,
My heart overjoyed,
My nerves calm,
That the magic is still there,
No, that the magic has been quietly,
Yes ever so quietly,
Dramatically been increasing.

PS: I love you and I am so in love with you.

He will teach me...

Just a little something something,
Just a breath away,
Always a thought away,
A click away,
Yet physically far, but near at heart.

Love is....

Love has been given many definitions,
It has gone through some tough times,
Love has been misunderstood,
It has been misused, mistreated, misinterpreted.

Now, Love shouldn't be different in the eyes of different,
It shan't be for one A and for another B,
Love was, Love is, and Love always will be,
One and only, 
One definition to define truth, reality, actuality.

Nike!

Just finished a round of exercise,
Am sweating,
Mind alert and fresh,
Brimming with energy,
Burning away calories.

Listening to 'hosanna',
Heart praising Jesus,
So here I am,
Getting my creative juices running.

Want to write more,
It's been sometime,
Don't know what happened,
But going to recultivate the habit,
Need to pen more,
Can't stop.

Just write,
Just pen,
Just express,
Nike!!

Time alone.

Time alone,

Just some time alone to rest, 

Enough to do some thinking,

Enough to make some dreams,

Build some castles,

Some time to just be quiet and appreciate calmness.

Time alone,

What's it really but not just sometime to absorb in,

Really, it's just internal monologues most of the time,

Time to just do nothing,

Just time passing,

Just time going by and by.

Love, kindness, mercy and grace.

It's His love,
It's His kindness,
It's His mercy,
It's His grace.

He loves me so,
His kindness to me is everlasting,
His mercies endure forever,
His grace continually flowing.

He loves me when I am unworthy,
He is kind when I am not,
He is merciful when I stumble and fall,
He is graceful when I sin against Him.

Finally I know,
It is against Him and Him only when I sin,
I answer to Him and to Him only,
But alas, I have with me a counsellor,
An advocate that stands with me.

Oh His mercies and grace forever endures,
His blood justifies me,
His blood clothed me in blood,
Making me white as snow,
There is no spot that He sees,
He sees the blood that was shed.

Yes, even to the thousand generation His mercies endures,
Yes, my sins He does not count against me,
He had made anew the one in me,
He, even He will not remember my sins.

I am forever righteous in His sight,
He is the one and only,
He is the alpha and omega,
He is Aleph and Tav,
He is the beginning and the end,
I love Him...

For the one who died for me,
For my Advocate,
For my Lover,
Jer Wei

Purpose to spend time with Daddy.

Acts 11:23 ....exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

Lately, I have been faced with this awareness of spending my time with the Lord, spending time with majestic Daddy, just resting in Him and getting into His word, listening and hearing the words of life. The bible, His inspired word.

I noticed that the more I spend my time with Him, the more I change, my thoughts, my mindset, my drive, my purpose, my will and wants, it's as if I am being reseted into His image, truly His words are life and magical, how it manages to offset the change I do not understand nor comprehend, all I know now is this, that I am truly being transformed into the image of the Son He loves. And I feel all this is effortlessly.

Resting in Jesus.

Surely God does not want you to be uncomfortable. His stance is a stance of resting in Him, it is to allow us to claim all the promises of The Father that is already fulfilled in Christ Jesus. He wants us to draw all from Him, he does not want us to strive to live, does not want us to be uncomfortable in life.

He wants us not to be uncomfortable, He wants us to be in the most comfortable zone, which is in His arms of love. Do not for once think that Jesus wants you to be out of your true comfort zone! In fact, He wants you always to be in it!! He leads you by peace, the Holy Spirit leads you by and in peace, so how does that translate to the Father wanting you to be out of your comfort zone? No!! He wants you to be translated to the Kingdom of His Son! And my friends, that is the most comfortable place on earth, the most!! That is your true comfort zone, He love you, and a lover will not want his/her lover to be uncomfortable but on the contrary, to be comfortable! He wants you to be at your true comfort zone, in Christ Jesus.

Help...

Dependence, 
Associative only with weakness,
Not strong,
Not independent,
Clingy and unable to perform with the help of another.

Weakness, needy,
Dependence. 

Not using one's own,
Intelligence, strength, love...

Sometimes in life,
You just have to admit defeat,
You just have to say that,
'I cannot do this anymore by myself',
'I give up',
'I surrender'.

Jesus. The one true love.

Love, love, and love.
It is still by far, the most,
Powerful source there is,
Still the most desired and wanted.

We all look for love,
We long to love,
We long at least to be able to,
Which is greater?
To be loved or to love?
Who knows?
But we long to love,
To be loved,
To give and to receive.

Powerful,
Unrelenting,
Now that is love,
Love oh love,
As a force,
Turning the world upside down,
A desire,
That can be daunting.

Love,
Plenty have given love a different name,
But in actual fact,
Love is the most,
The best,
And love oh well,
Jesus is the one true love.
