born to be free.freed to be born

i saw this boy having this tshirt in bluuurrr words
saying born to be free.

and in true 'this is that, that is this' fashion, i began to wonder if the reverse is true.

and it is.

born to be free. freed to be born.
today is easter.
but i guess, we must make good friday and easter an everyday affair...

:)





i sometimes wonder why am i so overtly christian on my blog, but cant even declare in real life.
i know God is real. and i have a relationship with Him.

and i guess alot of us met many pushy christians trying to push christianity down our throats and almost wanting u to believe straight away.

build relationships. thats something i am heavily influenced from cf.
build with the Builder, and with everyone that God puts in our way.

is it wrong to wish for someone to be somewhere where that someone isn't there yet? is it faith or is it blind stupid optimism?
but yet you know that at times when you see that someone not at that somewhere where you hope someday that somebody will be at,
you realise you are just as bad.

but yet, you know there's a someOne, who will bring your someone to somewhere where that someone is supposed to be at in the first place. that doesnt stop you from not being frustrated though.

God uses imperfect ppl like you and me.

abraham, isaac, jacob were soo imperfect.
but they had faith. simple 'i believe' faith. really simple.
and simply cuz God chose them.

read somewhere how imperfect these 3 men were. abraham tried to hurry things his own way. isaac was almost passive. jacob was scheming against his dad, his uncle, and he showed favouritism among his wives and his kids. not the perfect husband and father it seems....

but they believed God.
the simple 'i believe You' faith.
the kind that is really so childlike so simple.

in that article i read, it also said how Abraham preceded Moses.
faith precedes knowing God.
thru simple faith first. then as you grow deeper in your faith, you begin to know and understand what God reveals to you.

and this simple true faith is the so called 'conversion experience'.



i begin to understand one more step deeper.

heh i know those who aren't christian reading this is like, blur tiao by the time you reach this point. hor, bmt ppl? :P


oh wells.

wishing and praying.

but trusting.commiting.delighting. is more needed.
and being still, knowing He is God, patiently.
and not fearing either. and not being wrathful either.

please be God.
in my life.
You know my desire Lord. i wish for someone to be somewhere.
but i must trust.delight.commit.patiently.
