Comic: Fear And Love
“Peace could come at quite a cost, so we won’t build a bridge across..Fear is easy, love is hard.” -Jason Gray, in his song here.
After so many months, I finally decided to make a new comic, the first one being here.
These are some of my thoughts about how often we don’t give others a chance, or even dismiss them as hopeless. I think, If God loves us so much we should do our best to see others as humans with souls, who are still never too far from redemption. I know how He loves me, and I don’t want that love being held back to myself. Well, I know that’s tough but…I’d prefer to choose to live a life of love..
I try to catch my breath, it hasn’t happened yet.
I’m wide awake in the middle of the night scared to death.
So I pray, “God, would You make this stop?”
“Father, please hold on to me, You’re all I’ve got.”
Carry me, carry me, carry me now,
From my sinking sand to Your solid ground.
The only way I’m ever gonna make it out
Is if You carry me, carry me, carry me now.
God carry me, carry me, carry me now..
Jesus calm my heart,
Come near me please.
Lord don’t let these worries get the best of me.
Oh I believe, that You’re still here with me.
Cause You meant what You said when You said You’d never leave.
I’m at the end of myself
I know I’ve got nothing left.
Feels like I’m stuck in the valley of the shadow of death.
And I’ve been down here so long..
I just can’t find my way out.
Oh God I don’t stand a chance,
Unless You carry me now.
God carry me now.
I just had this realization that it has been over a year since I’ve written Greyskeil Rainbow’s most popular post = No Matter What. If you haven’t read it yet, I encourage you to do so. It’s a short story I’ve written with most of my thoughts, my emotions, about what God might be thinking and that battle against self-doubt.
It’s a bit stupid to think that it has beena year, and yet, somehow, I still don’t grasp this clearly, or..I feel as if I’m not in the right position yet. But, actually, there is no need to over complicate things. But, I actually do.
Being a Christian isn’t easy. There are times when we doubt God, and sometimes…we doubt ourselves.
No Matter What highlights some of these thoughts that I have also been anxious about in the past (and sometimes even now).
“I am being clouded by fearful imaginations,
That the day might come when I will fail you, Lord.
And that I might not stand in front of you,
That you would reject me.”
Hi there guys. I think I really need to write here more often now. I shouldn’t worry about all the other things.
God tells us not to worry anyway.
“My yoke is easy and my burden is light.” -Matthew 11:30
But, recently, I’ve been into much anxiety, jumping from hope to despair, faith to doubt, somewhat inconsistent…and I’ve also been trying to give myself a sense of direction. And there’s nothing wrong with that..
With so much of the future lacking clarity, questions popping up in our heads saying,
“Will I be alright?”
“Will my future be fine?”
“Will I be ready to face the world in time?”
As I look through Facebook, I can’t help but feel sad sometimes because of the people who make it big, who achieve a lot of things and have a clear direction to what they are doing.
While me, I pretty much don’t think I’m ready yet, I just overthink things and I’m stopping out of college for this semester.
But that’s no reason to be sad now, eh?
I still think everything will be okay. I have a big God, and He’s not done with me yet. I’ll just be thankful for what I have, live life loving others, and that’s all there is to it! :) He is my Provider, my Comforter.. :)
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” -3 John 1:2 (KJV)
Jesus, help me smile.
Jesus help me know that your love for me is vast and powerful.
Take away my fears, my anxieties, my emotions of melancholy.
Fill me with joy, and peace. Help me see the light of what you have done, and how you see me and love me fully.
I don’t have to be afraid because you are here.
I don’t have to be anxious about what others say, because you alone matter.
I don’t have to be in sorrow because you offer so much joy.
I don’t have to wallow in guilt because you don’t see what I’ve done anymore.
Jesus, help me smile.
Help me laugh.
Help me grin.
Help me see the bright side of things.
Help my soul prosper.
I just watched the 2005 movie, Akeelah and the Bee. I have loved spelling even
as a kid, but this movie presented so much words that I wasn’t familiar of. The
wide variety of words out there..it’s amazing.
So what made the movie so special for me?
First off, the movie presented so much about how we seem to be unsure of
ourselves. We doubt ourselves, we fear what is to come, and other than that, the
people around us may not show much support and optimism about the path we
take.
What’s so special about the young little toddlers – children in their early age? Us being older, we rarely understand them. We sometimes wouldn’t know why they would cry or wake up at night and run towards us for a tight hug. Sometimes we belittle them for their simplicity, their playfulness, and their more often annoying repetitive quests for our attention.
As they show off their proud scribbles of crayons on that piece of paper, or dance off or sing to Beyonce’s Sweet Dreams, or a Barney song, they always seem to want our attention.
