In Christ Alone

Did not share with many, but for the past three months, i had been struggling at times about dynamics in cell, etc.

Yesterday i once again affirmed to myself that I had trained myself so well to show that i do not care when i really care.

Well, having said these, i am not someone who gives up easily on myself, people and things. I want to choose to believe, always. My hope is in Christ Alone!

And He is truly my Strength. I pray that this Strength continues to revive greater and greater joy within my soul again!

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

Witness

Tonight as i was on the way home from TC, i witnessed this:

At a really wide, major cross junction, within three seconds, a motorbike whizzed past and scraped hard the front of a turning car with a loud thud, sending the motorcyclist rolling on the ground.

(my hands cupped my ears in an instant response to what my eyes saw. i could not express how relieved i was that there were no other rapid moving traffic beside them, and that the motorcyclist could still kneel after the rolling to wave his arm angrily at the driver)

This wasn't what left an impact on my heart from the accident...

... It was the scene whereby the car driver stepped out of his vehicle immediately after the bang, and moved straight to the front of it to check if it was damaged.


These questions whizzed in my head:

Did he not care at all about the motorcyclist and his fall?
Was it that his own possession (a non-living thing) could be of much greater importance than a life, no matter whose fault was in the accident?

i couldn't understand. i think i would have run straight to the motorcyclist, my heart would have worried for his safety.

i could not understand, and i prayed.
