Strike Me!
Amazing Grace - Judy Collins and the choir
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That sav’d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev’d;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ’d!
Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis’d good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be forever mine.
John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
I am blessed, I am truly blessed. I do not want eternal life. I do not want life, I want death. I always hear people fear death, but I do not fear death. I want death! Life is a torture and life is all about suffering and enduring hardships. Happiness is so transient but hardship is so lasting forever, perhaps even at the hour of our death.
Looking back, I find that Life Is Beautiful, a wonderful piece of creation and Life is an art itself. The greatest painter can paint a painting that look like our earth -- great painter like Claude Monet, can never create a real painting of Life. Life is really a mystery and no wonder many people wanted find it out. We learned that we have five senses, but there are more to five senses and there are more than just eyes that can see things. There are more functions than just a heart can have. There are more than just Science can do and cannot do.
I believe God loves me, as I am his child, one of the many children on earth. I believe his love for me because it is the same love I have for my children.
For not knowing who was God, I prayed to Jesus. Today, my prayer was heard. I understand and I see, not seeing God's face, but to see the picture. The Holy Spirit is with me. Thanks to God and thank you for hearing my prayer and thank you for helping me.
It pains my heart, yes it aches, to see her suffer. Her facial expression, her behaviour, everything about her, I can understand. It is not what she wants. She have fear, she wants love but yet she cannot control it herself. It is a torment for her. I would want to suffer all the pain for her. Another pain to my pain is nothing. Why let so many people suffer pain when one person can endure and take up all the pain? I am willing to be the one who bare all for her.
I must win this spiritual warfare. I do not want spiritual darkness. We must combat it.
I dreamed of a beautiful dream last night. How to know if the dream is a good one or bad one? If the dream is a good one, from God, then it is refreshing when you get up. I had one last night. I wake up not feeling tired, I wake up feeling glad about the dream, nice, but though there are parts with question marks and parts which is not a beauty.
