from my blog. must read. serious.
and watch the video. must watch. serious.
----------------------------------------------

ive just been hit by the need for simple child-like faith in God.

recently ive been questioning alot. trying to think of ways to prove God and creation and end times and explaining the reason for my faith. trying to gain knowledge about his word from his word, and from books and DVDs and CDs and sermons and all.

all of that is good. it is.

but i lost my child like faith.

"i believe it because your word says it."

pursuing greater knowledge of God is so important for us to Grow as christians and for us to be able to be clear communicators of his word, especially for me as a cell group leader and all those who have the responsibility for feeding his sheep.

but the problem is, we cannot lose our the simple faith that God asks for.

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." matt 19:14

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. " matt 18:3-4

God forgive me for losing my child like faith. its not that i dont believe in you, its just that i sometimes try too hard to make sense of something that is senseless:

YOUR LOVE FOR ME.

YOU.

all of it makes no sense. God, YOU make no sense most of the time. you always like to show off by tilting the odds against you and then showing your power to us. haha.

i mean no disrespect God,

its just that we, we mere humans(your creation none-the-less) always are unable to comprehend that you are all powerful and always faithful, and we lose our minds trying to fix situations which you and only you can help us fix.

and situations that you want us to seek you in so that we may learn faith and trust and reliance and dependance and all these things that we look to other sources for.

lord your love makes no sense. and i dont think im going to try to explain why you love me so. im just going to believe it.

lord your promises make no sense, and i dont think im going to try to find out your ulterior motives because they would probably lead me back to your senseless love. i'm just going to believe it, and thank you for it.

too many things make no sense. i can only explain it as far as my singaporean education and the wisdom you have given me would take me. but they'd always in the end require my child like faith.

daddy i love you.
