San Francisco (Theme of Dying Young)

YEAH...found this song which I love so much when I was still in Primary 4.

One of the Dying Young theme song titled San Francisco from John Newton Howard.

Not many people know about this guy but he is one talented guy in the 90's.

Anyway, enjoy the link!

Revelation - Justice

Revelation. Have this statement ever crossed your mind that the things that you are unable to see or feel in this dimension actually happen in God's Kingdom?

Impossible for us to see justice prevailed in the current society. The evil seems dominating every single aspect in our daily livings. Kind person are most likely going to fall into the hands of the evil doers. Issue about God's existence and His view on the matter of injustice has raised the doubt in my very own belief in Christianity.

What we haven't seen or felt, do not lead us straight to generalization of the non-existence. If you insist that God does not exist because we can not see Him, then you should question yourself, whether you have a brain, since you have not seen your brain with your own very eyes.

Question again, how about Justice? What is Justice?

It happened in a more liberal country like US, demonstrators raising banners, crying out to the government seeking justice. They can tell briefly what Justice is. An abstract noun. The meaning reads "treat us fairly". If they don't get what they have come to ask for, it is not JUST.

Educated people often marginalized the use of Justice to seek the thing they desire. This is viewed as legalized robbery. The constitutional law is practiced to protect its own citizens and not utilized to do evil.

That's why many uneducated citizens often have the mindset that "justice" is for the wealthy and knowledgeable. They claim that they do not see Justice in this world.

Partially true regarding their statement. Justice can only be found in the Kingdom of God. The dimension for Earth is too shallow. Justice does not fit in because the earthlings themselves are shallow-minded.

Earthlings are self-centered by birth. They will only agree with fairness and justice if the cases are sited to them. None of these people will the full comprehension on the word Justice and its origin.

Only those who are God-centered can truly find Justice because it can only be found in other dimension - God's Kingdom.

I almost feel it myself everyday, complaining to God about justice on my job application. How people who are inferior than me could find a job and why can't me? This question still surrounds me because I haven't entered the Heavenly Gate of God's very Kingdom.

I promise myself to be with God, because He is the only key to Justice. And Justice alone resides in the heart of God's Temple. My prayer extends to those who do not believe in justice in the world, trust the One True God, give Him a chance and He, whose name is Justice,will prevail. Amen.

Books read

Finally finished two books - Jesus Freaks and Discipline of the Godly Man.

Jesus Freaks outlines the martyrdom recorded dating from 33AD until now. The Discipline of the Godly Man asserts on the 17 disciplines of a man in search of godliness.

A strong determination and if possible, the least distraction that you may get, to complete reading these 2 books at the fastest pace.

Take away the laziness, and some time spent on procrastination, I believe I can finish the books even earlier than the expected time drafted in the initial reading plan.

Although it's still far before I could achieve of what I was taught from the book "The Discipline of...", I plan to move to read the book long given by Daniel - The Purpose Driven Life. Despite listening to people in Leeds recommended it for the past 4 years in Leeds, ironically I haven't really read through the book myself.

Since my life is pseudo-purposeless, I guess it's about time for me to search for the real purpose in my life.

Until I finish the book, will update the contents of the book and dissect the value of the Purpose Driven Life from God to us.

Blessings

All praises to the LORD who concerns about my life and everything that lies within it.

Stuck in this dimension of waiting, I have actually experienced quite a number of blessing from God through my friends around me.

There are 3 people who are in full scale, trying to help me to circulate my CV for a suitable job. I am very grateful to them for offering their helping hands even though our relationship have not gone to the closest that we could get to. Their efforts and sincerity has touched me, thinking that still there is HOPE for this world and for the LORD's kingdom.

2 out of the 3 friends of mine are not Christians. Sometimes it makes me wonder how could a non-christian hold on to their very own principle of kindness and unselfishness compared to those church-goers who are self-centered and mean.

I believe GOD has HIS own timing on turning these people to recant their current beliefs. HE will not miss out any person whose Righteousness is found in the LORD.

Hopefully, my upcoming interview this Saturday will be an enjoyable and successful one. Even if it is not, I believe that it is the WILL of GOD for closing one door and opening a better one for me.

Thanks to Cellgroup members who have been praying for me during the times of waiting. May it be a greater testimony to be witnessed and shared among the House when the moment of victory storms.

The LORD is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall i be afraid?
When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
- Palsm 27:1-3-

Learn English!

The reason why you should, too, learn English.

Look at those Chinese girls, they learned English because they do not want to just settle down with domestic business (in China). On the other way round, they are moving towards international trade.

But of course, I am not asking you to take prostitution as your part time job...

Anyway, enjoy the video!
