they looked for a miracle and found it in a song

tell me to read a christian related book few years back and i would imagine a boring thick book filled with deep verses which i could never comprehend. its like i need to prepare an army of tiny little brain cells to actually go through the pages.

however i changed my mind, after picking up a book. and perhaps at that time, it was the right book.
now, i like reading these books. i like to read how God works miracle in people's life.

Many times, people might think, christian life is always so perfect and awesome, they're always happy, they're always kind, they seldom get angry, and they always do the right thing.

Read a book and you'll know it isn't true.

Many inspiring books came from testimony of the once terrible, horrible life. Broken families, broken relationship, broken soul, tragic tragedy. Its because when those things happen, the life that was full of pride will finally allow God to come and take control of the actual fragile life.

we don't necessarily have to wait till bad things happen to do that do we?

And there is this misconception where people thinks coming to God is an escape to all problems. It will solve all your problems and you'll live happily ever after. But the actual happily ever after only comes when we're finally in heaven. As long as we're on earth, there will be tough times.

Being a christian doesn't make you less angry, it doesn't make being kind easier, and it definitely doesn't make sad things less sad. You still struggle like every people. and  its still very tempting to get angry at people when bad things happen, n i do mean cursing kind of angry. 

there are time when i was so tempted to get angry. so tempted to just curse like everyone else. there are times, when it seems so easy to just give up and give in.

and then i think of God. of the kind words He uses and the amount of time He forgive.
and then we go on and try a little harder. for Him.

the next book i'm gonna get :)
