Jesus, reveal yourself more and more daily. May the one who lacks faith be filled by your faithfulness. May your spirit constantly reassure us. Lord, may this feeling of gratitude be the song of our hearts. We are always in need and may that need of you be filled everyday. May the heart be yearning and seeking, for you will always bless those who seek. May our seeking not be limited for our own personal gains. May our lives be a representation of what you have came for: Love.

May we seek to be lovers for it is love that conquers hatred, bitterness and pride. It brings humility, compassion and faithfulness. May we want something greater oh God. How long will our soul yearn for our own pleasure. Let us dream big God. Be with us. May it be your aurora that captivates our hearts. May you be more willing so that we may be willing .Have compassion for you have designed us to seek you more and more. May our sin not be one that keep us away from you. May we always go to you. Always,. We start with You and end with You.

Teach us more and more about your love. May we be willing to learn. May we know and continue to know how much you Love us.

advice

how do we know to follow someone else's advice? how do you trust that? their intelligence? their prior experience? their superior resume?

in our daily lives, there are countless moments where we make decision, process our thoughts and many more depending on someone else's opinion or their references.

i do believe that it is crucial. you cannot obtain every single piece of evidence this world can offer. by trusting in a third-party information, you "obtain" more information. I get it.

the idea i am struggling i guess is more of an internal thing: when does that become YOUR information. YOUR knowledge.

And i think it all simply ties into a bigger picture of this theme called TRUST.

if i believe in a piece of information my brother provides, whether that is a statistical information regarding NBA or from the scripture, i will take the information, formulate and process it internally, and then make it mine.

the tricky part, however, is that we don't always do that. sometimes we take one thing, let it out the other way. maybe the source was not reliable. maybe you were just being stubborn. maybe you could just careless of what the other person is trying to convey.

In an honest manner, what I am trying to convey in this blog post is that believing in someone takes a great deal of faith. yes, faith. Because at the end of the day, science is not a sure-fire. it is always going to be a theory because all you can do is hypothesize. we can never be sure of what IS to come. only when that moment COMES can we make an observation.

i guess that puts a little spin on how we live our lives.

what a struggle. i dont mean to offend ANYBODY but who cares if John Piper said something. Let alone, who cares if anyone says anything to you if you don't trust and have faith

Sir, let your experience become mine. Give me Captain-America-like powers to believe in you.

I ask humbly.
