While at It

since i'm here at e library n doin my assignment, i might as well blog in-between when havin a break..i was havin a leisureli n very pleasantly surprisin msn chat with David from my armour days with e cell group for our combat unit..he said some very encouragin stuff to mi dat gave mi some new perspective of pple, events (be they good or bad) n exam stress..

sometimes we all feel like we're 'knockin on heaven's door'; in e words of dat old Guns-n-Roses song..unable to progress n unable to understand wat it all means n e purpose behind it..e heavens can seem like brass to all our prayers n petitions..

den encouragement comes in a flash like Paul's Damscus experience or Job's Whirlwind or even Elijah's still-small-voice..n for a moment e entire horizon opens up to us n we see new vistas dat amaze us n make our heads dizzy..just for 1 second we see Heaven's plan n Earth's longin..n we r speechless..for 1 second, 'heaven is a place on earth' as dat old retro song goes..

den we return 2 our bored dreary lives refreshed n empowered..strengthened n encouraged..heartened instead of dis-heartened..1 word can be all it takes to lift up..

David told mi dat in life..we ought to respond with christ's love..even to love e un-loveable, enemies n frens n loved ones of course..y?? becos love is God's secret manoeuvre to outwit e enemy of our souls..as i put on my msn nick, love cannot be understood or comprehended by evil n wickedness..n history has shown dat wat cannot be understood n grasped inevitably comes back to defeat n destroy e clueless..dats why fear (which is e result of a lack of acceptance n understandin) kills..e former Ussr never understood capitalism, free will n choice..n look wat capitalism did to the commies??Bingo..dats e idea in a nutshell..

so then, if some1 has hurt u or sought 2 destroy u 2day..respond with love..deliver e coup de grace dat is heaven's riposte to e arrows of fear, hatred n contempt..love is neither soft nor weak nor gentle..it is e storm dat breaks down walls n dams n overruns e furthest rear areas of the heart, soul n mind..it is e mechanized thrust dat secures e vital breakthru for everything dats noble, good n true..outflank e enemy!!
