When you are blindfolded, you do not see what the world sees. It is to truly place your absolute faith and trust in God. It doesn't matter what others say: they can think what they want. It doesnt matter, all that matters is that obedience, the voice which belongs only to God. The people of the world will pull you down, laughing at your dreams, not believing that it is possible. But if you turn away, you realise you can actually do it. Not alone, for in that aspect they were right, but through Christ who strengthens us. I dont want others to set the boundaries for me, to define for me what constitutes properity, a good career, what success is and which way we should live our lives. I dont want to be just like everyone else in this world; I dont want to be just average, mediocre, ordinary. Instead, I will have blind faith: faith that surpasses all understanding, that even if it is illogical to everyone else, even if it seems impossible and even stupid to the world, I will still step out in faith. blind, not just because of the lack of favourable circumstances. more than that, having blindness as a shield. blindness to guard our hearts. Blindness to keep being simple hearted, to know the complications but still having complete faith: not in ourselves , which would not be very smart, but faith that God will see us through, He will guide us as long as we put our complete trust in Him. And so, it is with this blindfold that we may be able to make the right choice. We can ignore all the temptations and instead discipline ourselves to do the right thing, right at that moment.10Jan2009
was looking around for quotes, passages, or just anything to sustain me for the day, the month, the year ahead: this was what i found that i had written exactly 4 months ago after discipleship class. let this not be an inspiration to me, but to you too. i just know that the decision was a right one, and no matter how hard it is, let this be an encouragement to you. jiayou.
when we are weak, He is strong.
and now i am so, so, so weak. Jesus take the wheel.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 no matter what happens here i am standing on the hope of Your word promised to me i believe, i believe, i believe. i believe that this will work out. i believe that we will work out. i love you
