we try, we fail... but we don't give up

Living as Christians can be the best thing in the world. But there are times when the world can really throw huge chunks of shit at us. Huge as in the really big ones that you don't normally see on an average day. Yea~ By the way, I just had my dinner, it was nice. Ahaks~ I've had shit thrown at me this whole two weeks. Sure, they aren't those big ones but yeah, it still sucks. To make things worse, I'm down with flu right now, so I can't blog nude. *awww~* I should be down and stuff now but strange enough I'm not.

Christians - we stand in the midst of the multitude

Sure we feel tired and stuff. Believe me, I am really tired behind this smiley face of mine, cracking jokes and doing silly antics. Behind the corny and occasionally horny *smiles* side of me, I'm really tired. Bet most of us feel this way too. We feel tired of trying to make things right, trying to make things better. Tired of trying to help, trying to heal, trying to change. Above all, tired of trying to do the right thing (be a man!). Why? Because we keep trying and most of the time, we fail. That's the truth of things - they just won't go the way we want them to.

we try to staple things right

We try to be an example of Christ. We try to score in our exams. We try to be understanding children to our parents. We try to endure persecutions from friends. We try to help people in need. We try to be great leaders. We try to be good friends. We try to strike a balance in our lives.

just like ultraman - but much cooler

We Christians are humans after all. We aren't fill with unlimited energy. We still need food and rest. Above all, we need love. May it be love from God, or our parents or love from our brothers and sisters. Even love from our spouses and partners. We have failed to give love most of the time. We have fallen before and we hit the ground hard. We have broken many hearts and we have hurt many innocent people. All this drains us and makes us tired, we lose our strength.

BUT (i just love but's.. but that just sounds wrong..)

When we lose our strength, that's when we gain the strength of our Lord. In our weakest moments, we become strong through and only through God - just like Ultraman, but not lame and much more cooler. We are Christians, we try, we fail but we don't give up and never will give up.

I'm tired but I will never give up trying to make things right for you. That is my promise after all.

casting crowns
if we are the body

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
Jesus is the way
