I'm losing sleep but not losing heart. I'm losing strength but not losing hope. because you have given and have taken away. May your Name be forever praised.

tug of war

it still feels like i'm missing out on something. and i know as i get older, the gravity will grow stronger and will keep me dragging towards it. resistance is certainly not futile but very very difficult. i tell you, it's everywhere and it rears it's ugly head everytime.

it's an issue of who masters who. a master and slave thing. this is not limited to money, because a Christian is tempted in every aspect of his being. i remember Paul's struggles when he wrote about doing the things he ought not to do and not doing the things he ought to do. putting it in Filipino street slang, "Gusto kong bumaet, pero di ko magawa." Very true.

but in the end of Paul's statement, he praised God because of Jesus Christ, who gave us victory in all. through his death and resurrection. rendering our body of sin powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.




a picture test.
