A thousand faces, a thousand lives... that was what I felt when I passed the busstop at Dhoby. And then shaun made a comment about how so many people's lives have become conformed to a continual pursuit of wealth... And he questioned, "would all the degrees matter, if war broke out?"

And I think he is right. Let's all learn to put things into perspective. And for Christians, we ought to live in terms of eternity.

But at Dhoby I felt like... this is the City He knows! This is the battleground for souls! This is the world His eyes roam through and fro, watching over every soul. Most importantly, this is the City He has called us to touch with His grace.

On a less serious note, today was GREAT! Haha. Thank you justin, aaron, jorji, shaun, tim and amirah... you a07 pple truly make the class a worthwhile place to be in! The class is not just four walls- it is contained inside you guys.... HAHA.

Friends, what is happening in your world now? Are things out of order and messy? Are you afraid, worried or feeling condemned for mistakes that you have done? In the midst of all these things happening, guess what? He never left you.

Sometimes it's hard to "feel" Him... but it is in those moments that we exercise faith, which is the belief that He "is" (which means He never changes, there is no "past tense" with, everything the bible has said about Him counts right here and now) and His hand is reaching out to you.

Stop. Consider that the God who formed everything out of nothing is reaching out to you. Breathe hard... and allow the air to contain His love and desire and flowing passion for you. The fact is, He never left. He doesn't withdraw His hands of grace because you have messed up... He isn't shocked or afraid or vengeful for the mess you have created by your own choices... He already knows about it... yes there is a side of God that burns against sin... but that is "God's strange work" which means the natural thing we think God does to sinners which is to condemn them is in fact not natural for God... He doesn't will this for you. That is why Christ didn't come to "condemn the world..." (the world is already condemned because of sin) but that through Him the world "might be saved".

Stand my friend in front of the Cross today... and Consider "how wide, how deep, how high... is the love of Christ" poured out for you at the foot of the Cross. It is enough to give you eternity... which is a life brand new... a new lease of life... an uncorrupted life... a purposeful and ordered life... all that you, the 'true' you, ever wanted is in this life that is found in Him.

Come, come my friend... look into the Savior's eyes. And worship Him.

Forever.
