through the eyes of faith

God is good
all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good
all the time
through the darkest night, His light will shine
God is good, God is good
all the time

If you're walking through the valley
and there are shadows all around
Do not fear He will guide you
He will keep you safe and sound
Cause He has promised to never leave you
Nor forsake you and His word is true

God is good all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good all the time
through the darkest night, His light will shine
God is good, God is good all the time

we are sinners and so unworthy
Still for us He chose to die
filled us with His Holy Spirit
Now we can stand and testify
that His love is everlasting
and His mercies- they will never end

God is good all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good all the time
Through the darkest night, His light will shine
God is good, God is good, all the time

Though I may not understand
All the plans He left for me
My life is in Your hands
And through the eyes of faith, I can clearly see

God is good all the time
He put a song of praise in this heart of mine
God is good all the time
Through the darkest night, His light will shine
God is good, God is good all the time

helpless

just read another article that made me so mad and angry, leaving me so disappointed and horrified by how cruel and ugly this world has become.

disappointed in  the world because God has created everyone so beautifully,  imagining an artist, putting in His effort to paint every brush, picking His colour so carefully, applying every stroke with careful yet firm, gentle yet definite moves. He put in so much effort, having so much hope in His work, bt the outcome of a supposedly beautiful and perfect image is now rotting right below His nose. The cruel truth of humanity, the inhumane actions of certain group of people.  Imagine the heartache.

Feeling angry. Angry because here I stood, being just another person to read bout it, maybe the one thing I can do is to share bout it, but in truth, doing nothing to change the situation. Overwhelmed by how these horrible things can happen, disgusted by how power and authority can give people the ability to treat others in ways no one should be treated, abusing their given power in the ugliest way one can imagine.

Feeling helpless, because I studied so much but still have no idea how to help the people who are being abused. Horrified by how fast the society of the powerful, selfish, and cruel side is growing, horrified by how innocent and sad are the powerless and weak being abused; horrified by how isolated are the commons living in their own bubble as made-up picture perfect stories are being fed into their eyes and ears. 3 categories of people. and here I am wondering if I should even be glad that im in the 3rd category. I should of course be grateful that Im not in the category that abuse, or the category that being abused, but am I allowed to be happie and celebrate about this fact?

Let's not get started with the ugly sides of politics,  even those that are happening right infront of my eyes, even those... I dare not do anything about. I cant even protect a poor and helpless dog who cant speak for himself. sorry Diki :'(.

Human trafficking, child abuse, refugees being ill treated, inhumane living conditions of the foreigners,  ill-treated foreign maids, corruptions, slavery, prostitution, the cruel killing of animals and nature and it hurts me to say, the list goes on. all because of the sinful nature of greed, desire and selfishness. to feed one's sinful desire. first hand stories ive heard, but how can I help?

sometimes I wish, someone will have the superpower to stop it all. to change everything. that one day, all these will be gone. because is slavery really gone? no, it just transformed into a different form. if only I can have the superpower to change people's mind.

but I know God is the only one who has the superpower. How I wish to believe that this world will one day be sin free and picture perfect again, just like how He intended it to be in the first place, but whoever knows the bible know that its not going to happen. Not in this world. This world will only turn worse. People will only become uglier at heart and things are only going to get worse. Only those who believe can be saved, those who are willing can leave this world to the sin free place.

But the thought of that amount of people are going to die with this world scares me. The fear of how ugly this world is going to become before its end saddens me, what can I do? dear Lord, what can I do to help?? T-T

reasons to keep you going :)

one of my friend said, i guess life is like this. shitty things happen...

and yea..i guess.. shitty things do happen..... but, you just got to find reasons to keep you going..
finding your purpose in life, your motivation to move forward, your strength to wake up each morning and your reason to smile again...

i just got to keep reminding myself what's mine :')
jia you jia you jia you!

Stand in the gap

i am nervous.
i am nervous to see the change.
i am nervous to be voting for the first time.
i am nervous to see what will happen.
i am nervous to be part of making it happen.
i am nervous.

my heart is skipping
my legs are fidgeting
my mind is playing faster than flashbacks.

i am nervous but i'm not scared, for I know our God will be with us.
i am nervous but i am prepared, for I know our God has chosen this for us.
let us all pray for a better future.
let us pray for a fair election.
let us pray that the voices be heard, actions be taken, and changes be made.
let us pray, and believe, that tomorrow will be different! :)
