hands off

the race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.
as fish is caught in a cruel net,
or as birds are taken in a snare,
so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.

we may do everything that we needed to do
and be great at it, too.
we may have the best of what life has to offer
making our existence better.
but still, the Sovereignty of the Lord covers over every -little- thing.
God has the final say on what will unfold and happen in our lives.
the important thing is ---
trust God,
let go of the things you have no control of,
and Trust God even more.


Ecclesiastes 9 .

tear drops

as the rain stopped falling
i could see the sun
i'm not accustomed to it
it hurt my eyes
it burns a hole in me.
as the sun rolled down
i could see the moon
it's not that beautiful anymore
it doesn't lit up my path
it makes me shudder.
as the moon dimmed
i could see the clouds
floating on by
straining my eyes to see
the silver lining.
and as the clouds thin away
i could see the stars
makes me tender
makes me bold
makes me wonder
and as i gazed upon them
i secretly wished
and hoped
for the rain
to fall
on me
again.

loneliness

loneliness
grips you
surrounds you
burn your eyes
drills a hole
in your aching heart.
nothing much to say
nobody here will hear.
cry, sometimes
it's good 
to cry
saddened by
the tears
that rolls down
your cheek.
melancholy
grabs you by your throat
until the silent sobs
you only hear.
turn off the lights 
sleep deep
and until then
the loneliness, melancholy
the infinite sadness
grips you again.

worm-like

No matter how little or insignificant or small you think you are, God wants you to know that He will help you and strengthen you. No matter what you have done in the past or what mistakes you may have committed, God wants you to know that He still choose you and have not rejected you as His servant. 
So do not fear, and do not be dismayed, for God still sits enthroned in heaven. The Lord is in control. 
Isaiah 41.
