Be still

Because man think of the infinite God as a finite being with our limited mind,
man often fail to trust and depend upon Him.
Man has crafted the image of God,
failing to instead seek and pursue it.
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. Philipians 3:19

I have learnt that the truth of God's infinitude is important yet sometimes unfathomable.
However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"
but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?
In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 2:9-11


I craved for knowledge to still my turbulent soul which was constantly challenged by questions.

[From: The knowledge of the Holy --A.W Tozer]
Then I realised that God can be known by the soul in tender personal experience while remaining infinitely aloof from the curious eyes of reason, constituting a paradox best described as:
Darkness to the intellect,
but sunshine to the heart.
Frederick W. Faber

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Matthew 5:8

"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalms 46:10

reality sinks in..

lain tells me loads of really funny stuff abt life in sch which is extremely wacky.
I randomly shot a statement: "I take lots of water breaks."
lain: "That's your highlight of the day?"
So I started try to be less oblivious to my work life today and I realised, my work is really that boring.
Ok, I ought not to grumble.
Was really kinda interested to adopt the idea which tian meng proposed of switching jobs, haha!
So, yesterday we went over to send xu qi off to adelaide. Wa she's quite fortunate to have her parents to accompany her for one month to settle things for her :)
Lots of brothers & sisters going overseas for studies and exchanges, hope I do get a chance to go for exchanges in the future as well, I wanna see the world.

溺爱不是爱
溺爱是将自己的意愿加在他人身上
溺爱是强迫。
