Let your praise become my embrace.

Everything is meaningless.
Wisdom and folly are meaningless.
Pleasures are meaningless.
Anything without of God is meaningless.
(A summary of the bible in the books of Ecclesiastes in the first few chapter.)

So, a blog post without God is meaningless too. My friends once told me blogging is like a diary. After reflecting deeply on the issue, whats the use of blogging when God isn't part of it? To grow in deeper of God, we need to
relate issues with God, doing regular queit time. The spiritual man needs food, just like the physical man.
And the food of a spiritual man is to feed on the word of God. Thats how you grow deeper in Him.

Another issue that has been going through my mind recently, is with the appearance of a Christian.
The leaders of a church encourages us to portray a good image of ourselves to everyone. (Looking neat and nerdy)
For me, I feel what matters is the inner self of us. Because that is what God would look in us.
God made us the way we feel, the way we express ourselves. But God gives us a choice to make decisions in life as well.

So no matter how ugly, gangsterish, punk, nerdy, innocent, handsome, retarded we may look; As long as we abide in the word, being doers of the word. We are followers of Him. But doing with moderation is necesarry at times in life.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

There is a time for everything, and a reason for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to rejoice,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
