Finally! I saw Chris Tomlin perform live last night at PASSION Manila at the Ultra! Praise God!

I didn’t expect that PASSION Manila would have a great impact in me. I excused myself from a musical theatre rehearsal just to attend this event. Little did I know that God is preparing something for me. Something great that even I can’t fathom. I was really blessed by the story of Ashley. She lived a short Christian life but her life was never wasted.

I was so blessed to be a part of the crowd. Singing and dancing out loud for God even though my voice can’t take it anymore. I won’t mind if I come to our musical theatre rehearsal on monday with this kind of voice. What's more important is that I used my voice for His renown.

I don’t know why I suddenly burst into tears while singing Amazing Grace. Maybe for a fact that I’ve been living a sinful life during the past few months (or years). I can't even hear my cry 'coz people are shouting and singing for God. I just stood there and cried. I recalled the crazy stuff I did that really hurt people around me, things that really hurt Jesus. What did I do with my life? Jesus doesn’t deserve this kind of payment after saving me from death on that cross. My life is a total mess I should say.

But like what “Fruitcake” said, we Christians are not perfect. But the very essence of being a Christian is living a life that is fully dependent (is that the right word?) on God’s grace. Amazing indeed! I can say that this is really crazy!

What happened last night is an awesome and unique experience for me. After months (or years) of being deaf to God’s Word, I’m finally revived! Praise God for that! Thanks to the whole team of PASSION Manila for letting us, Filipinos, experience this. I’m really blessed by the music, the Word, the dancing, and the PASSION that’s in the heart of the people there.

God! You are in this city. 'For greater things are yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city.'

To God be the Glory! God bless PASSION! Our prayers are with you.

KL! Get ready!!!

you see, humanity is in a state of ever clueless-ness. in our lifetime, there will always be things unknown. and even if the next generations discover what was unknown to us today, they will have their own unknowns. we cannot know it all. in fact, we are uncertain even of the very statement that there are next generations. we simply do not know.

one of the things we do not (and in fact try to) know is the future. what lies ahead? what is in store for me? don't we all want to know what's gonna happen so we could avoid the bad things and prolong the good times? but we are stuck with the fact that our limited understanding does not extend to what is yet to come.

Father's Love Letter used by permission Father Heart Communications Copyright 1999-2006 www.FathersLoveLetter.com

Though self I know, yet my heart is lost.
Though logic is the sense, but what is sense without purpose?
The fire that burns me, the eternal truth of my creation.
Yet it seems to be, but I know that I'm not alone.

Though seem I'm not, yet still to come,
The deep tavern of the night, seeking what's within the people's eyes.
A wandering bird, carrying the courage of a lion's heart,
Though seem I'm not, yet still to come.

The silent flow of lake, the loud glory of heaven.
The ant of routine, trying to fly to reach the truth behind everyday newborn lies.
A serious guts, a wonderful hope,
The universe's secret recipe behind every growth.

Epidemic may rise, yet the heart is not convinced.
Norms may cover me, yet belief conquers them all.
What makes the uniqueness?
Is it the longing for what is not yet defined along the wall?

Flee, free, and find.
Life is bitter, but the Lord is not blind.
What makes you believe, is what makes you to stand-out,
Honors you gain, sacrifices you give,
Yet how precious it is, your compassion to be lifted up.
