Total Commitment

        If we truly love Jesus, believing that he is the life, the truth, and the way, then we must follow his commands and live a holy life, not concerned about how foolish we might look in the eyes of the world. And our reward will be great in heaven.

Truth Over Feelings

        Somehow, we came into being and wonder what life is all about. And we start to search for answers. If you just look for something you feel comfortable with, most likely you would skip over Christianity. But if you want to find the truth, putting aside all subjective feelings, then Christianity has to be the select choice.

What to Crave For

        Communion thought. The peace of Christ is something every Christian should covet.

Abandonment Test

        If you have abandoned yourself completely to God, you'll be able to say to him, "Do whatever you want with me, Lord" with ease and in peace. It's the "Thy will be done" test.

Burden of Sorrow

        In union with Christ, the burden of sorrow you feel can be great, but that further solidifies the union. And the sweet consolation you receive from the Lord always makes it worthwhile.

Time Lost

        Our days of living on earth is numbered. Each day we live without God is a day lost forever!

Greatest Sign and Miracle

        In today's Gospel reading from Luke 11, Jesus considered his generation to be an evil one because it sought a sign. He pointed out that he himself was a sign to his generation. Jesus is indeed the greatest sign to all of us, the only sign we need to see. To those who chase after miracles, you only need to look at Jesus to see that he is also the greatest and only miracle we need to see. If he is not good enough for you, no other sign or miracle will be.

Christianity Unique

        There are religions which believe that they alone hold the truth and do not tolerate anyone who does not accept their faith. And there are religions which never so claim and leaves everyone alone. Christianity is the only religion which claims that it holds the authentic truth and gives everyone the freedom to choose to believe in it or not. This makes it possible for all its followers to develop a meaningful faith.

Most Powerful Love

        Let the perfect love of God make you pure, beautiful, fearless, and perfect.

Deep Peace in Christ

        It's good to be back home to resume attending daily Mass again. Today's Communion experience: the Lord made me see that if I am truly in him, I would always have peace unperturbable by any sorrow.
