Dec/12/2011 • 230 notes • ReblogLord, I dressed myself for so long, in the garments I believed I deserved. Creams, off whites and muted earthy tones. I wore them with acceptance, and yet; I hung my head in shame. They were the sum of my past mistakes, my present aches, and my worldly tastes. Whilst white dresses I saw, I passed them by - for in my eyes; discoloured, tainted and stained was all I justly deserved. But wrong I had been. For it was in the midst of my admiration for all garments white and precious - that You showed me Your magnificence and Your true sacrifice and promise for me. You took me through Your cleansing process, Your refining fire and Your refreshing waters. You took my rags and turned them to riches. You took my creams and made them white as snow. You raised me from earthy tones, and placed me in garments of pure praise. You stripped me bare and washed me clean - and there I stood before You; purified and sanctified, by Your perfect love for me. How blessed I am to come before You and raise my head high, in that I am made whole and righteous, in You and by You.

People adore Jesus for many reasons. Some, because He was the most influential leader ever to walk this earth, some, because He is the Son of God, some, because of His countless miracles. But whatever the reason might be, the fact is that, even though we profess our love for Him through devotions, panatas and the like, we never truly follow His footsteps which He clearly left visible for us all.
It’s so saddening that people bargain their prayers for something they want, as if His graces are a transaction. I flog myself for you Lord, but in return you must do this for me. Don’t we ever realize that Jesus knows what we need? He knows it even before we say anything. He knows it even before we think of it.
So, this Holy Week, let us spend some time alone and reflect. It’s not such a bad idea- I do that all the time, no matter how skin-deep evil I am (emphasis on the evil). After all, Holy Week is just one week right? And He’s not asking for all 24 hours in a day.
for though you were angry with me,
your anger turned away,
that you might comfort me.
“Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.”
With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4 And you will say in that day:
“Give thanks to the LORD,
call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim that his name is exalted.
“Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously;
let this be made known in all the earth.
Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 12 (via conformingtotheson) Apr/15/2011 • 4 notes • Reblog
Mar/20/2011 • 416 notes • ReblogI always dream to be married to the one I love, someday. Our wedding day will be the best day that will ever happen between the two of us for we will share our vows and everlasting promises in front of God, and the people we love.
Our wedding day will be the mark that from that moment, I will give all of me to the person I chose to give my “I DO”. We will have a happy marriage and have kids together. And even if problems come our way, we will both fight for the promise we made in front of God, that we will love each other till death do us part.
