Song Lyric: Who am I ?

Sung by Casting Crowns


Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

Some thoughts to ponder...

Don't fear to give love. Still love as if you've not been hurt before. I know that it wont be easy. We tend to guard our hearts each time, for fear of getting hurt again. But sometimes, we need to take risk, just like what we did in the past. Don't be afraid to love again. It is not your fault that the other can't love you as much as you do. And, it does not mean that you're not lovable too. Maybe, its just that the other find his love inadequate compared to the love that you have given. Maybe, he thinks that he doesn't deserve you at all. The failure of others to love you won't make you less of a person.

Spices of life

In our lifetime, people come, people go, and some stay. Those who stayed, get to have way deeper knowledge of you. You'll treasure them. Those who were gone, nonetheless, contributed a thing or two to the being that you are right now. Maybe, some had hurt you so much that you wished you didn't cross path with them. Maybe, you had said 'I regret knowing you'. But I think, it is so-not-true to say that when you're hurt. Somehow, that pain they caused taught you something about yourself. There you would realize things like how strong you can be, how deep your faith is, how supportive your family and friends are, your capacity to love, and so on. You'd get to understand yourself more deeply. You'll learn in every joy and every pain you have. Moreover, each time you fall, a stronger you emerge. All you need to do is pick up the pieces and stand up. Those spices of life made you what you are today... a stronger person.

The Journey

A year ago, i went on a journey on a stormy day. On this trip, i supposed to find the stuffs to all the things that i long to fix. I brought with me a bag full of broken pieces... a broken mirror, torn pictures, and a broken glass. Along the way, i met angels and demons alike. Some would lure me into places where darkness resides. Some would talk me to go back and find my way back home. But i insisted on taking on this trip deeper into the forest. There i found a glue that can patch a broken mirror. I also noticed that the broken glass i'd brought, was slowly fixed. With only the torn pictures remain unfixed, I was ready to go back home. But I got lost. I didn't know where to go. I could'nt find my way back. I've been there for months, wandering in the wilderness, walking in circles, trying to remember my taken path. Then one day, luckily, i saw someone approaching. He was bringing a torch of light on his one hand. There, he was guiding me back to the lighted path... sending me back home... making me realized things that long been vague to me. Now, I'm home... back into God's loving arms. And, I could'nt thank him enough for what he did. I know, in time, those torn pictures would be pasted back together in the board which they were from.

Bottom line is... Happiness is Love!

For the past years, I've been cynical about the existence of real happiness in this materialistic world. But after some soul searching and lots of digging into the depth of my heart, I've found the answer. Happiness is really all about love. I'm not only talking about romantic love, but love per se. I've realized that love really makes the world go around. If we can open our hearts and do some 'site checking', we'll see how limitless and boundless our hearts can be. Unlike any room, we can invite anyone and everyone in it without the fear that it can accommodate no more. The more we give love, the more we feel happy. When we see those people we love, smiling, we feel this warmth that no amount of money can buy. Happiness truly comes from giving unconditional love... the love without expecting any in return... the unselfish love. Nothing can beat the feeling of loving and be loved. With that, happiness equates to LOVE. And we, humans, are capable of that. If we can only open our hearts to everyone, without any fear of betrayal or distrust. And i think, that's the toughest thing to conquer, but it's all worth it.
