meaningless

guess what?



you are now reading the 100th post on my blog. CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU'VE WON ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! (except the honour of reading this blog of course lol)



so i figured i should talk bout sumfin deep and meaningful, i mean this is a special event and all. so im in the middle of SWOTVAC studying for my ridiculous exam timetable and learning bout the human lifespan in OCTY1203 from birth to death. Gets me thinking.

most people (in our society anyway) have a pretty straight forward expectation of their life. get a good job, find the 'ONE', get married, have kids, retire and have a peaceful death at a nice ripe old age. but life doesnt always work out like that. things go wrong. things dont go to plan. ppl get fired. husbands and wives are unfaithful. kids leave parents after years of care and unconditional love, young ppl die in the prime of their life only to be forgotten in this world.

what is there then? what do we have to look forward to? why do we go through pain over and over? why do we make it over a hill only to reach another mountain? is it all dross? (had to lighten the mood somewhere :P)

it's so true when Jesus said all things in this world are meaningless and temporary. if you rely on things, you will lose them. if you rely on money, you will die without a cent. if u rely on ppl, you will get disappointed (just as u have disappointed others). If you rely on fame, well... paparazzi will just screw u over in general. its so true, that God is the only one that is forever. He's the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and the day after and the day after that... He's the only thing that we can rely on and ironically the one thing we can't see... but we already know all the things that visible are unreliable.
especially if its made in china.
jokes. lol

He is the only one that gives us a love that is unfailing, unconditional and forever. He gives us hope for a future that goes beyond this worlds concept of space and time. A future without pain or suffering. To be celebrating with angels and living in holiness and purity in the presense of God is what i look foward to. It's so true that this life on earth is like a race. ppl cant just walk to the beginning of the tracks and say "gimme the gold medal, i deserve it". atheletes go through pain-staking efforts, train every day, make sacrifices and push through one physical injury after another. Its so true that perseverance brings people through the tunnel and into the light. this world was built to train us, because things like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, self-control and perseverance cant be picked up in a store.. it has to be learned through life with God. we have to go through life's hurdles to learn and become stronger for the next one in order to win the race.

but human efforts in the spiritual race is nothing without Jesus. and he knows a thing or two bout trials. hes been there. he knows. thats why he's always there if we reach out for him when things get tough. hes there when things are great too, even if those are the times we forget about him. it takes courage, faith and discipline to rely on God. it's not always easy. but at the same time, to put ur life in God's hands is to let go of so many burdens. its the best thing you could possibly do in this lifetime. whether you experience the benefits now or in heaven. and now that i've done that, i can live my life being content with what i have, what i've lost and whatever may come my way.
