why lai-dees, why lai-ddat?

there's this "rap" that goes something like that:

why u so lai-ddat arh?
why u so lai-ddat?
i
give u my kit-kat,
u never give me back!
so... why u so lai-ddat arh?



asking myself.. 'why i so laiddat?'....
why laiddees, why laiddat?
why is it sometimes i yearn to please ppl, and NOT God?
why is it sometimes i get too got up in the activities of serving Him,
that i sometimes forget, who is the One whom i'm really serving?
why this, why that...
why lai-dees, why lai-ddat...
why?
(because the sky is so high, elephants can't fly, the birds poop in your eye............ erm.... out of pt.. i know... :D )

isn't it so true that sometimes we see things on the surface,
and we start judging or jumping to our own conclusions?
sometimes we even want to show how holy, how godly we are, on the outside.
but is it so in the inside?

1Samuel 16:7b(NIV)
The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at the outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart.

Psalms 51:6(NIV)
Surely You desire truth in the inner parts;
You
teach me wisdom in the inmost place.


if we are, i guess it's best for us to come back to the Father in humble repentance....

hi...

now that i have a blog, i am beginning to ask myself, "what's the purpose for me having it?"

is it to join in the crowd? to fit in?
is it because of a desire to be known? a desire to be seen and heard?
to edify myself?
declaring 'the great ME', having the mindset,
"it's cos THE GREAT ME is so fascinating, that everyone would want to know all about THE GREAT ME's daily life."

Hopefully not...


now..i would like to take this opportunity to share, why i chose the name for this blog (howcanibebornagain)....even though it's a bit long.. :D

simply cos, the Nicodemus of the Bible asked Jesus,
"how can a man be born again when he is so old?"
(John 3:4a NIV)

the famous verse, which basically summarises the whole Gospel,

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His one
and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him,
shall not perish, but have eternal life.(NIV)



many know this verse by hard, even non-christians. But... is
knowing it from memory, enough??
maybe we should take time to read John 3,
and think and meditate about it....

can't go on much cos i'm using a public computer...
(my home's internet terminated...)


[ps.... obviously this blog doesn't have much stuff YET...
cos 1stly, i gotta rush.. 2ndly... i also dunno much abt java,
be it the coffee, the Indonesian province, or the geek type.. :D
just wait lor....
btw, i wouldn't mind any help. haha...]


May God be with you...
