Heroes

We spoke of heroes like they never exists,
We spoke of heroes as ones driven not by love but by hate or revenge,
In our society heroes are full of justice,
yet lack of mercy,
i'm no critic of heroes,
i'm still looking for one frankly,
in this generation that is waiting for their hero to come rescue them,
or be the hero themselves.

the hero that i know is different,
quite different indeed,
a hero driven by love, not hate,
a hero that is full of justice,
yet full of mercy,
justice is not just served on the streets,
but within a person, in his/her heart,
i found Him, not in any comics, fantasies or movies,
He's in the ancient scriptures,
He's not some fiction that we made up,
He's the hero because He died so we can lived,
He's the hero because when justice is served, he suffered so we can live,
He's Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
the only hero fits to save this world,
and yes,
the only hero fits to save you and i,
and yes,
even though He appeared in an ancient account,
yet he's timeless,
and He's alive today as much as 2000 years ago,
just seek and look,
and you'll find Him.
trust me.

happy easter.

hmm... Spring Break ; Mid-semester update

not sure if anyone is still reading this ...
but whatever - ah .. mid-semester already .. and Spring break has pretty much came and gone.
it was indeed a good spring break, spent the earlier part of it up in the DFW area hanging out with some friends - well i picked up playing piano/keys again ... i played with my sis, Ian and few other people up in Irving for my friend Michelle and Waldo's church ... really indeed enjoy playing keys and worshippin' the Lord :o) - maybe i should do that more ...

and i got to read 2 books as well ... yay ! - a book comparing the life and views of Freud and C.S Lewis - very interesting indeed ... just to see how Lewis's life changes after he encountered Jesus Christ as his saviour and knowing his Creator - and it's also sad to see Freud struggling to find answers to the questions he had :-( - but one thing for sure - Lewis's life is a good testimony of how God changes lives as well as touches lives ! I also get to read through the book on Back To Jerusalem's vision - the vision of Churches in China to bring the Gospel back to the Middle East going through the last frontier of middle asia ! It's amazing to see all the believers that surrender their lives to Christ - ranging from Lewis to the people in Back to Jerusalem movement - i want my life to be touched as well !

i think one thing though ... i was reminded that the best combat against apathy , is the Gospel of Jesus Christ =) Social Activism without Christ will eventually leads to apathy ... as well as many other things ..

ahh yes ... there was a big shake up in Malaysian govt last week (ok ... i am Malaysian) and that was interesting ! Hopefully the Opposition Front in Malaysia can bring some change !

anyways - Spring Break is (almost) over - back to real life !

:-p

and yes i do enjoying taking a walk in the park during early evening - it's really relaxing and refreshing.

God bless.

life

Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?

Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss?
A misdirection, most in all this desperation

Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?

It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

-- the blues.
Switchfoot.

how i felt ....

Ps 40.

12 For troubles without number surround me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails within me.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to save me;
O LORD, come quickly to help me.

16 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say,
"The LORD be exalted!"

17 Yet I am poor and needy;
may the Lord think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
O my God, do not delay.

1 John 2

14I write to you, fathers,
because you have known him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,
and the word of God lives in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.
