timeless

I don’t think we as humans realize the true weight and power of our words and diction. Our words shrouded with malicious intent can pierce farther than any sword and batter down walls of iron will by slowly whittling away bits and pieces. We are so careless with the deadliest weapon and wield it like it’s nothing. Kings, tyrants and emperors were overthrown with the power of words. The pain of ridicule and insults bite deep into our hearts and hold our souls prisoners clad in shackles of pure lead. 

But I am here to say that although this is true, there is one thing that breaks our shackles and weakness towards the words of others and that is the Word. The greatest covenant Man has ever entered into, written down and passed down from ancient times. The fall of the One and True King, pure and innocent, for the sins of his people, his children. He suffered the greatest pain on the cross drenched in his own blood that he willingly shed for you and for me. Crowned with a crown of thorns, ridiculed and humiliated by those he chose to save. His Word holds sway and breaks all other words that plagued and assail you. His Word has the power to restore and to save. So the next time the words of Man threaten to overwhelm and consume your mind and soul, think on the Word of the King who laid down his life for you. He will surely save and shield you from the razor sharp barbs thrown at you with His own body just as He had 2000 years ago.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now.

I think for awhile now, I’ve been so angry and bitter at… well.. just about everything. I hated the school I was in, hated the daily routine of life, hated my family, hated my church and hated even God. Hatred seemed to be the sole reason why I was alive. I always had to fake and live a double life. I had to act like I was fine and happy and be the cheerful person everyone thought I was when I was so broken and bitter inside. I lied daily to my friends and family living in a world full of people but so utterly alone. Even as a Christian, I felt completely empty and dry. I had so many questions, too many doubts and held back everything from God. 

And then.. Vision happened. It was such an amazing time filled with blessings & miracles. In my brokenness, God showed me my worth. He answered so many questions that I had and prayers that were in my heart. As Tim GSN led the prayer session and the topic of angry and bitterness came up, I felt my heart jump up into my throat. I don’t know why but I decided to stand up and move towards the front. When I got there, I was prayed for and I let all that bitter and angry go and gave it up to God. God truly showed me what he had in store for me and as I struggled with the question of what am I going to do with my life, I realized I was asking the wrong question. So I asked God, “God, What do you want me to do with my life?” And by God’s grace, He called an angry, broken sinner like me… So utterly worthless and dirty… and called me into his ministry to do His work and to teach His story. And now I stand before Him, with new determination and fire to reach those struggling brothers and sisters and to show them God’s everlasting love. 

But don’t get me wrong.. I’m still a sinner and I will make mistakes. But surely and slowly, I’ll work to defeat my personal sin and work to glorify His holy name forever.
