Time flies. When I started posting here, I wrote random thoughts for the sake of writing, but as time passed, they were more thoughts that came about when I saw my heart growing weary and I set to think of something nice to keep me positive each day. How weary this world makes you as life progresses... but life really isn't about the situations that come up in life, but how each situation is tailored positively into life. No matter how much I want to, I can't say I'm exactly who I want to be yet or never will be because God is reavealing more and more of my weaknesses to me each day, but with each weakness revealed, God's grace makes it's appearance like clockwork everytime. Perhaps perfection is supposed to be out of reach to keep us humble in God's sight. A saving grace... And as grace shows up day after day, I realize God's steadfast faithfulness and the depth of his love for me. Perhaps this a good place to stop writing after these few years as "yoodchang". I'm not sure why today, but I just dont' feel like writing anymore., but that's ok. All things don't have to come with a reason...
People are often unreasonable, illogical, selfish; Forgive them anywayIf you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anywayIf you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anywayIf you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anywayWhat you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anywayIf you find sincerity and happiness, they may be jealous; be sincere and happy anywayThe good you do today people often forget tomorrow; be good anywayGive the world the best you have and may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anywayYou see in the final analysis, it is between you and God, It was never between you and them anyway
-Mother Teresa
As you start your day, God is smiling at you"Good morning, son/daugther. I am God. I have made you, and I love you. I have loved you before you knew me, and I will love you continually.You are beautiful in my sight. I have made you beautifully and awesomely in your mother's womb. I have made you exactly the way you are. Whatever others may say, you are beautiful in my sight, and only my opinion matters ultimately. I know you have many flaws and weaknesses. In fact, you have more than you think. But I love you. Turn to me each day. I will be your strength. I will manifest my power through your weaknesses, and I will help you overcome your sins. You may face many challenges today, but remember I am with you. I am your strength, and I am your wisdom. I am your comfort. I am your friend, and I am your Father who sent my only begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for your sins. I am with you always.I have wonderful plans for you. Ask of me, and I will show you wonderful things that you have not known. No eye has seen, and no ear has heard what I have prepared for those who love me. Do not look to the ground and your troubles. Look up to me, and I will show you the plans I have for you. It will be a progressive revelation, because you cannot receive all I have for you. As you turn to me more and more, I will show you more. Oh, how much I want to reveal myself to you and all the wondrous things I have in store for you!So, as you start your day, remember the main point of today is not getting that job done, but to fellowship with me. Today is a gift I give you so that you will get to know me better and experience me. When that challenge comes to you, turn to me. I will help you, and you will come to know me nearer. When a blessing comes, thank me. I want to be appreciated. When a sorrow comes, lean on me. I am drawing you to my heart. I will turn your sorrow into a celebration of joy*
