He is the Reason

Are you tired of the unending question marks in your life?

Are you sick of the cruelness of this selfish and unloving world?

Are you seeking any answers to all the doubts and confusions that are within you?

Are you giving up hope to every situation that you can’t seem to find any solutions to?

I am.

We are always on the go, keeping up with the speed of this fast-pace world. Even if we are tired, we know that we cannot slow down. Afraid, that if we cease our steps we will lose something, we will be overtaken. But how much more can we lose? Because if we’re afraid to lose it is when that we lose the most.

We are always searching. Searching the reasons to

…smile

…believe

…live

 And I am even tired of searching the reasons to search.

One thing that I hate to admit, I have times when I feel discouraged, when I feel clueless, when I feel there’s no purpose in this life. Cause I’ve lost the meaning to work hard, to strive for something. I found no reason to live in such an uncaring world; that only money, power and fame speaks. So that’s why I’m always running, always searching.

I could’ve given up hope, could’ve given up life if it wasn’t God who sustains me. He speaks to me words of hope and encouragement through the Bible, sermons and peoples from around the world. He didn’t give up on me, so He doesn’t want me to do the same. He had to sacrifice His son, Jesus Christ to give me this valuable life. Even I have no authority over my own life, only He has. It’d be too foolish to think that this life He paid for on the cross is meaningless. He’s shown me the reason to live, because I will have the greatest treasure He promised me – the eternity of love, joy and peace.

Maybe that’s also why I always want to encourage and reinforce people whenever I can. I don’t want to see them suffer a life that could be so meaningful. Cause what God promises, God will provide. You might be blinded by this snippy, fragmentary world but never forget He can do wonders in and out of your life. Because greater things have yet to come, greater things are still to be done in your self-proclaimed fruitless life. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17. You may think that life is inconsequential, but you can renew yourself in Christ Jesus. You are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb; go and find back the reason to live! To live for His glory! He has something profound for you, provided you seek it yourself.

He is a God who watches, who listens, who answers, who provides. He is everything. Since we already have everything, why are we still searching then?

You're the light in this darkness
You're the hope to the hopeless
You're the peace to the restless

This song reminds me to not give up seeking His goodness and glory because He can convert the bad to good. And a prayer is all I need :

VERSE 1:
This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

VERSE 2:
This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flame

CHORUS:
I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

VERSE 3:
This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

BRIDGE:
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

VERSE 4:
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

He made me understand that life could be much much better. Life isn't all about rains and storms. 

He is here to bring you out of this mess

He is here to bring forth true salvation

He is here to show you the light of hope

He is here to show you the meaning of life

Because He is here, that's why we are here

We are here to witness His goodness

We are here to sing of His praises

We are here to glorify His name

We are here to live for HIM!

*A prayer can change everything, a prayer can change your whole life*
