The Symphony of Life.
 |
| 2000 |
"Our life is a short time in expectation, a time in which sadness and joy kiss each other at every moment. There is a quality of sadness that pervades all the moments of our lives. It seems that there is no such thing as a clear-cut pure joy, but that even in the most happy moments of our existence we sense a tinge of sadness. In every satisfaction, there is an awareness of limitations. In every success, there is the fear of jealousy. Behind every smile, there is a tear. In every embrace, there is loneliness. In every friendship, distance. And in all forms of light, there is the knowledge of surrounding darkness . . . But this intimate experience in which every bit of life is touched by a bit of death can point us beyond the limits of our existence. It can do so by making us look forward in expectation to the day when our hearts will be filled with perfect joy, a joy that no one shall take away from us."

As Thy Days, So Shall Thy Strength Be.
Day by day
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure, Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow'r.
The protection of His child and treasure is a charge that on Himself He laid;
"As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,"
This the pledge to me He made.
Help me then, in every tribulation,
So to trust Thy promises,
O Lord,That I lose not faith's sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E'er to take, as from a father's hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till with Christ the Lord I stand.
* Lyrics: Lina Sandell Berg (1832-1903)

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

Always There
When you are in deep shit and you try to look for help, you look for your right and left, front and back. Opps ~ You just realized no one else around you or everyone is so damn busy with their personal life, you feel sad because of nobody gives a shit about you. Don't give up dude, lift up your eyes to the subjectivity of Love, He never fails. No matter what you feel about Him, no matter what you think about Him, no matter what people are gonna say, no matter what people say about Him, no matter how heartbroken you are, no matter how much pain you're in now, no matter how messed up you are ... and bla bla bla ...
Always remind yourself: He loves you just the way you are, He sees you as God originally designed, He sees through the surface layer of grime and dirt to the real man underneath, the real you ... and last, but not least, His grace is sufficient for you.
Love,
DLC

A Simple Gift from a Joyful Boy.

| 1952 "In normal life we hardly realize how much more we receive than we give, and life cannot be rich without such gratitude. It is so easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements compared with what we owe to the help of others." ~ by Dietrich Bonhoeffer ~ (Letters and Papers from Prison) |
