These days...

I am tired out so easily...

Many words leaves me fearful...

Coz i dunno if i was careless with my words...

Peace is not found in words...

Peace is found in silence...

And i love that silence.

So much...

WHAT?WHEN?WHERE?HOW?

It's on my mind again...

time and again...

...

I can't hear anything and i can't see anything...

...

Where? When? What? How?

....................................................................................................

Some people live for a great cause...

While others are just ordinary...

And i am ordinary...far too ordinary....

but i dun want to be ordinary...

...................................................................................

ORDINARY......................................................

Ephesians 5: 22-33

22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

26to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,

27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church—

30for we are members of his body.

31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."

32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.

33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

____________________________________________

It is that sacred and holy, intimate to the extent that it is left unspoken...

And that is the relationship btw Christ and His Church

The Church MUST be united with Christ

The relationship and intimacy is unfathomable, that which i dun even noe how to describe or explain...

...That He would even liken Christ and the Church's relationship to such extent...

Hope for those who calls on the Name of the Lord

10"Now as for you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'Thus you have spoken, saying, "Surely our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we are rotting away in them; how then can we survive?"'

11"Say to them, 'As I live!' declares the Lord GOD, 'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?'

12"And you, son of man, say to your fellow citizens, 'The righteousness of a righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not stumble because of it in the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous man will not be able to live by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.'

13"When I say to the righteous he will surely live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but in that same iniquity of his which he has committed he will die.

14"But when I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness,

15if a wicked man restores a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

16"None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall surely live.

17"Yet your fellow citizens say, 'The way of the Lord is not right,' when it is their own way that is not right.

18"When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, then he shall die in it.

19"But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and practices justice and righteousness, he will live by them.

20"Yet you say, 'The way of the Lord is not right.' O house of Israel, I will judge each of you according to his ways."

Weep and Mourn...blow a trumpet and let us gather

Joel 2: 11-17

11The LORD utters His voice before His army;

Surely His camp is very great,

For strong is he who carries out His word

The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome,

And who can endure it?

12"Yet even now," declares the LORD,

"Return to Me with all your heart,

And with fasting, weeping and mourning;

13And rend your heart and not your garments "

Now return to the LORD your God,

For He is gracious and compassionate,

Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness

And relenting of evil.

14Who knows whether He will not turn and relent

And leave a blessing behind Him,

Even a grain offering and a drink offering

For the LORD your God?

15Blow a trumpet in Zion,

Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly,

16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation,

Assemble the elders,

Gather the children and the nursing infants

Let the bridegroom come out of his room

And the bride out of her bridal chamber.

17Let the priests, the LORD'S ministers,

Weep between the porch and the altar,

And let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD,

And do not make Your inheritance a reproach,

A byword among the nations

Why should they among the peoples say,

'Where is their God?'"

Forgive us, O Lord....

That i may Hear...

John 10:11-16 (New American Standard Bible)

11"I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

Praise Him!

12"He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

That's why my Father IS the Shepherd and never the Hired hand...

13"He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.

Thank God My Father LOVES and CHERISHES me SO MUCH...

14"I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

I am HIS OWN and i KNOW Him!!! Hallelujah!

15even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

So unworthy yet so highly paid for...the COST of REDEMPTION...

16"I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

Oh that i may see those whom He calls and His Heart yearns for...
