The cross

I've always wondered why a cross was called a cross...

isn't that an odd name? 
( I  mean... there are a lot of odd names in this world...like strawberry....Straw + berry?....Butter + fly?  and so on)

But now that I think about it. The cross is pretty appropriate in this case.

The cross is some kind of crossing over of two segments perpendicularly...an intersection I guess.

And it comes hand in hand with the gospel no?

Jesus came and became the bridge between a lost humanity and its Father in Heaven.

Because of the cross, we can actually cross over.

yup.

"...It is true! The Lord has risen..."  Luke 24:34

1 Corinthians 13:13

Three things will last forever--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love.

and remember that

The Lord is with you wherever you go.

This song. 

Satisfied In You

I have lost my appetite /And a flood is welling up behind my eyes/ So I eat the tears I cry/ And if that were not enough/ They know just the words to cut and tear and prod/ When they ask me “Whereʼs your God?”/ Why are you downcast, oh my soul?/ Why so disturbed within me?/ I can remember when you showed your face to me/ As a deer pants for water so my soul thirsts for you/ And when I behold your glory/ You so faithfully renew/ Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh/ I am satisfied in you/ When Iʼm staring at the ground/ Itʼs an inbred feedback loop that brings me down/ So itʼs time to lift my brow/ And remember better days/ When I loved to worship you in all your ways/ With the sweetest songs of praise/ Why are you downcast oh my soul?/ Why so disturbed within me?/ I can remember when you showed your grace to me/ As a deer pants for water so my soul thirsts for you/ And when I survey your splendour/ You so faithfully renew Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh/ I am satisfied in you/ Let my sighs give way to songs that sing about your faithfulness/ Let my pain reveal your glory as my only real rest/ Let my losses show me all I truly have is you/ Cause all I truly have is you/ So when Iʼm drowning out at sea/ And your breakers and your waves crash down on me/ Iʼll recall your safety scheme/ Youʼre the one who made the waves/ And your Son went out to suffer in my place/ And to tell me that Iʼm safe/ Why am I down? Why so disturbed?/ I am satisfied in you

Before I forget...

Some quotes from church or books I've read ("been reading" would be more accurate)

"We are most in danger

when we think we are self-sufficient."

"Our strengths create competition,
but our weaknesses create community."

"Christians. like snowflakes, are frail,

but when they stick together they can stop

traffic."
Ohh yeah...

we montrealers understand that pretty well. 

(the snow-stopping-traffic part I meant)

"God is most glorified in us 
when we are most satisfied in Him
in the midst of our suffering."            

Jesus is worthy of all our trust,

all our plans and dreams,

and all our affection. 

He is worth losing everything for,

                                         because He is worth it.

GodIsGoodAllTheTime

I think we human beings....

we like to ask a lot of questions.

And then without even waiting 

for an answer to be formulated

we get impatient.

Frustrated.

And then we ask God "Why?"

 ←This. 

Those words. 

All you need to know. 

JESUS 

is the answer.

So let's stop asking "why" and be 

faithful. 






For He never fails.

Dude. You got it en plein dans le mille.

"Then you will know the truth, 

and the truth will set you free."

John 8:32

As for myself.

After years of scrambling through life

I've come to understand a little bit

of my freedom.

God gave us freedom.

Freedom to wander away from Him.

Freedom to choose our own ways instead of His.

He never stopped us.

We were free.

And then the greatest freedom comes

when we can choose to come back to Him.

In our ugliest and most undesirable state.

And we have the freedom to know
even with our little faith

that His door will always be opened.

Always.

Because of Love.

[Ok, yeah... maybe I'll have to reformulate all this in a few years again. Nighty.]

P.s: Keeping a journal is not only therapeutic.
It is also a means to keep in touch with your walk with God when you look back and read them with a sense of..... embarrassment. But guess what. It's a readable proof of how you've grown and how God has been working in your life! I'll may or may not post some extract here.....

Psalm 99:9

At the holy mountain of the Lord,
all war and strife will cease...

At the holy mountain of the Lord,
creation will be at peace.

Some things are just meant to be shared! =]

"When a woman is giving birth, 
she has sorrow because her hour has come, 
but when she has delivered the baby,
 she no longer remembers the anguish, 
for joy that a human being has been born into the world."

John 16:21
