Life's fragility

Life is fragile.

That scary truth stares right at me in the face each time a disaster occurs or someone I know passes away. I cannot understand it when people make statements like: 'I'm the master of my own fate!'. To me, its rubbish. You will never hear this from someone who is in poverty or from those who are in a state of helplessness...cause they understand that there are many things beyond human control. And in such cases, only God can intervene.

by looking at the magnitude of the universe itself and the preciseness of the way the earth is positioned for 'life' to be possible, we should be more than aware that we have a Creator and that we are subjected to Him. Our fate lies in His hands. And when He made each and everyone of us, He had a purpose in mind. God does not make mistakes nor were we made out of an accident. But each one of us are fearfully and wonderfully made. Isn't God great?

Teach me Your ways and help me embrace them.
Give me a heart of thanksgiving and compassion.
Give me a an un-distracted and focused mind.
Teach me discipline and perseverance.
Give me a desire for You and for the things of your Kingdom.
Teach me humility and how to trust You.
Give me more faith and the strength to cast aside my will.

above all, teach me Your love; how to love You and the others around me.

this is all that i want for myself....

Maturity is where one realizes that he/she is accountable to none but God.
Maturity is where one lives for no one else but God.
Maturity is where one realizes that he/she is alone without God.
Maturity is where one realizes his/her insignificance in this world and begins to fear God.
(We are significant to God though! Who am I that you are mindful of me...)

Maturity is where one realizes... 'I am nothing without God'.


Anything other than this is deception.

I want the discernment to know when to take ppl's comments and when to guard myself from it.
