hi people.. im back to update, sooner than i expected. i haven't been having much funny dreams, but it seems like i black out when i sleep, and wake up with a jolt when the alarm goes. can't figure out if that is good or bad...
anyway, im not here to talk about my dreams today. instead, i want to bring a message across that i received in church today that touched me greatly today. here it goes:
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have complete confidence on the day of judgement, because in this word we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, " I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
(1 John 4:16-21, NIV)
what touched my heart most was the phrase that said ," we love because he first loved us". how blessed are we to be loved! and to be loved by one who would willingly die for us! it scares me a little to know that if He had not loved us first, we would not have known the power of love. it is deep, abiding, forever. how blessed are we to called the children of God!

Deliver me, out of my sadness.
Deliver me, from all of the madness.
Deliver me, courage to guide me.
Deliver me, strength from inside me.

All of my life I've been in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.

Deliver me, loving and caring.
Deliver me, giving and sharing.
Deliver me, the cross that I'm bearing.

All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.

Deliver me,Deliver me,Oh deliver me.
All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,I know that you're the one to pull me through.

Deliver me,Oh deliver me.
Won't you deliver me?
(song by Sarah Brightman, entitled 'Deliver me')
