God Has Created Us!

        God is love and his act of dying for our sins to redeem us is just incredible. It seems rather mysterious that I should feel it this way. Then intuitively I know that had there been no God and I somehow came into existence, I never would've been able to relate to such love. I know now that God exists and has made me this way so that I may love him.

How to Feel Good

        When you know that Christ already dwells in you, let him be your only joy. Do not care about how good you look; care only about how good he looks in you to others. When he looks good, he will give you joy to make you feel good.  

Concerning God Again

        God is for going deep into, so dive into him with your all.

God Wins

        Communion feeling this morning. God has won me over. Before, I was stubborn, but now I'm in paradise.

Concerning God

        The right way: letting go in him. The wrong way: struggling before him.

Death Has Lost

        Yearning for the Lord works wonders ~ it banishes any fear of death. Basically, death has lost all its power over the Christian.

Greatest Achievement

        What is the greatest achievement of mankind? The fact is that everything we think we have achieved is done by God through us, for without him we wouldn't even exist. Then the greatest achievement that involves us has to be our salvation through the sacrifice of God's own Son ~ made possible by the greatest love there is.

Moving On with God

        If you have done something well for God, rejoice that you have glorified him; but beware that you don't relish the experience too much lest your ego gets fed. We must focus upon God always and not dwell upon what has already passed. 

Freedom in God

        To be free in God, you must make sure that God would feel free in you. This means remaining completely open, empty, and passive to him.

Jesus Faithful in His Role

        On this Palm Sunday, the Gospel was read from Matthew 26 and 27. The long reading recounted the experience of Jesus from his betrayal by Judas through his burial. As Jesus carried out the Father's plan of salvation, fulfilling the prophecies of the Old Testament, it was as if he was following a script, faithfully acting out his part. An ordinary human not knowing what's happening and the future would have reacted entirely differently. This is worth noticing.
