Isaiah 53.
Who is this man that he can grow up from dry grounds, who has no physical beauty and was despised his whole life. Esteem, men did not.
SO much rejection, not much recognition.
How can one live like this?
Yet, at the end of his life he endured the last bout of his suffering. It is like all his life's suffering rolled into one event. Why should he go through this?
And who is this whose death can bring peace and whose wounds bring healing. Why would he suffer for those even not interested in his death? Y bring their iniquities unto him as well? Moreover, what has he done to deserve this? The most pure, holy and innocent was sent to the slaughter and was stricken by opression and judgement.
God have mercy on this soul! How can this be Your will oh Lord.
Through his death, glory for eternity was bestowed. Surely, the story comes to a good ending. Thank you Lord for this man has saved all our souls.
Thank you JESUS for bearing my sins and sharing your inheritance with me. Thank you for continually interceding on my behalf, that the other lost souls can come to know what you have done for them.
Most of all, thank you for your great love! There is none like you!!!

Anon Prayer.
Encountered this prayer that spoke to me during the 40 day fast.
Day 13:
Lord, help me in my waywardness; I read your words and yet do not follow them. I shut my ears to your voice and, when i do hear your voice, I do not listen to what you say. I tell others to live lives of Christian example and yet I fail again and afain to do so myself.
Father, I am unworthy of your love.
Lord, help me in my weakness; I wander from your way and follow the falsehoods of the world, chasing the illusions of success and dreams of the false happiness of riches - and yet all the while I call myself your child and servant.
Father, I am unworthy of your sacrifice.
Lord, help me to overcome my pride; I show the world my Christian face and yet, within my mind, I listen to the lies and promises of the evil one. Time andagain, I weaken and fall into sinful ways and thoughts.
Father, without you I am nothing.
Be my guide and my guardian. Takem my life and shape me upon the wheel of your world as potters shape the clay with their hands. Lord, teach me to be true.
AMEN.

Birds of the Air
Just wanna say that God has been good.
Was reading the bit on the captivating book where God gave John a whale and Stasi starfishes. I too asked God to give me something from him... the next morning as i stepped out of the house, this is the first thing i saw. i googled it and its a rainbow lorikeet. God must've known my favourite colour is rainbow! =)))
I knew immediately it was from God cos i asked for it and it just came. Also, wiki says its habitat is woodland areas, rainforests and coastal bushes. Why the hell were they perched on the tree opposite my house?
WOOT WOOT! =)))
God says that even the birds of the air he feeds... and now spring is here. He clothes even the lilies of the field, how much more will he provide for us, his children?
AMEN!!! =)))
