UPDATED
Alright. So someone said I don't update regularly enough. Hahas, okay I repent. Here it is =)Anyway, many things have been happening lately. Some things have been working out very well, and there are those few that that aren't. But I'm learning.
I know what's going on. I know what you did. I know what you said. I know you want to bring me down. But no, I am not retaliating. Know this, you can say whatever you want to others about me. But in time to come, the truth will be revealed.
Psalm 49:15 (New King James Version)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave,
For He shall receive me...

The Weary
Isaiah 40:30 (NKJV)
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
Yes, shocking as it may seem. Even the young will grow weary and will fall. It is not easy to be consistent. There are times where the mind will tell you, it is not possible to go on. It is foolish to give. It is unfair. It is so tiring to commit and love unconditionally.
That day will come, when you are force to make that same decision you made a long time ago. But will you stay the same? Will you press on? Rededicate your life?
Or will you let go? Give up, put down all the resposibilities and leave?
See, it is never going to be easy to stay focused. Life will never be a bed of roses. And bad things do happen to good people. But how you react to it is the most important thing. Think about it, it is always up to you to choose how you want to think and react. Your mind will always be a battlefield. Either you stand firm in what you belief or you doubt and let it all go.
It is not easy. It is not easy. But everytime I get discourage and grow weary, I always remember this
"God did not promise days without pain; laughter without sorrow; sun without rain - But He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way."
Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)
31 But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

Fear
This post is for you. If you are a person who is struggling with fear. Fear of failure, fear of losing something, someone, whatever it is.
We can't deny this fear is a very powerful force. If given an opportunity, fear can creep in and cripple the soul. That is why it is so common to find people who struggle with insecurity and lack of trust today. There is always a root to the problem. Be it, family background or terrible past experiences. But one thing i learnt in the past few years of my life. Fear will always be there, it will always pop up and stand in your way.
There is two ways to handle fear. First, the most common and popular way people choose- RUN! As far as you can! Try avoiding it. Hide from it. It is sad, but true that people struggle with this vicious cycle. And the worst part is, they never ever get out of it.
So how then do we ever overcome our fears? There is only one way. Faith. Fear has no power in the atmosphere of faith. Where there is faith, fear has to flee. Just like where there is light, darkness is dispelled. Faith is confidence, knowing that fear only has power if you let it.
-Fear creeps in and cripples the soul, Faith in Love cast our all fear!
2 Tim 1:7 (NKJV)
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

The Let Down
It is so upsetting sometimes when situation turns against you. And people let you down, time and again. Disappointments are worst when you put your trust in people, that they will believe in your vision and guard it.
Sadly, in such an imperfect world. We know that no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.
People can let you down, mock you, judge you, put you down, but ultimately it is your choice whether to let those things affect you.
Revenge? No. What difference does that make you from them if you do the same. Judge not.
Matthew 5:38-40 (NKJV)
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also.
