More Love To Thee..

I feel blessed today that I just simply wanna sing this song silently in my heart..


More Love To Thee
Artist: Fernando Ortega

More love to Thee, O Christ
More love to Thee
Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee.

This is my earnest plea:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee..
More love to Thee, more love to Thee..

Once earthly joy I craved,
Sought peace and rest;
Now Thee alone I seek,
Give what is best.

This all my prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee..
More love to Thee, more love to Thee..

Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise;
This be the parting cry
My heart shall raise;

Still all my prayer shall be:
More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee..
More love to Thee, more love to Thee..

RED: Luck or Love?

I just read today in yahoo news why the color "RED" symbolizes luck. (I saw the news article earlier, but I dunno why it was removed. Actually they just put up a link to this article from Yahoo!Answers)

Some people may find it interesting and enlightening particularly those who are more than curious about how certain things came to be. It's a cultural belief that anybody may find easy to embrace especially if their ancestors were following the same traditions.. if it's in their bloodline, so to speak. While others wouldn't even care about such -- they'll just accept and follow because it's the norm.

Red is a very strong & passionate color. It may represent love or perhaps connote conflict. Red is the color of successful Singapore. We see a lot of red-colored items in February, as well as during Decemeber. Red is also the color of our blood -- and we know same is true even if you have royal blood :)
In scripture we'll find a very significant story (yes, not from any tales nor legends) about a blood that has been shed for us. A blood of the covenant. A blood of love.

Matthew 26:28 says, "For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remmision of sins"

So, would you bank on luck in finding life and success? Or would you rather be guided by His love and naturally receive abundance?

Which would you rather declare, "I must've been very lucky I survived that ordeal," or "I'm protected, loved, and blessed I survived that agonizing test"

I believe things happen for a reason. In John 9:1-3 we'll find this story,
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
"Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.

God created us in His own image and likeness, by His grace and faithfulness. We're here NOT out of chance, but of love.. unconditional love :)

Try to think of any phrase, title of a song, or a name that has the word "red" and replace it with either "luck" or "love." Which of the two sounds better? =)

God bless y'all! Ciao! c",)

Here's an interesting read: What about Luck(?)



Faithful and True
Artist: Marc Taylor & Jennine Henderson

I know the thoughts that You think towards me.
Thoughts of peace and not of evil.
You sent Your Son to die for me.
To be my future and my hope.

Lord You are faithful, and I will call to You.
You're always there when I need You.
And in this life, when the world falls down,
Lord You alone are faithful and true.

Jesus said "I go to prepare a place,
That you could always be with Me.
And when I come back,
I'll take you home, for all eternity."

Lord You are faithful, and I will call to You.
You're always there when I need You.
And in this life, when the world falls down,
Lord You alone are faithful and true.

You will wipe away all my tears.
Dry my eyes and calm my fears.
This is the promise that you have made,
When the former things have passed away.

Lord You are faithful, and I will call to You.
You're always there when I need You.
And in this life, when the world falls down,
Lord You alone are faithful and true.

Life Blog: Loving and Inspiration.. heart matters

While reading through some inspiring stories on the internet, I chance upon one of my favorite quotes from Helen Keller, it goes..

“The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen nor touched, but are felt in the heart.”

Helen grew up blind and deaf due to serious illness she experienced when she was about less than 2 years of age, yet she inspired many people in her lifetime. Her sight and hearing senses might have deteriorated but her heart had shaped her into becoming the Miracle Worker.

Everyone would agree that our heart is the most important part of the human body. Some people might have broken limbs caused by serious accidents whilst others might have donated their eyes or kidneys, yet still continues to live. But when the heart stops beating, we’ll all end up in a flat line. I never heard of any heart donor that is still very much alive, hehe.

If I were asked to describe what are the best and most beautiful things I have experienced so far, well I think I would probably recount on those people whom have touched my heart as well.

In another context, when someone finally found his/her lifetime partner, wouldn’t it be nice that when both of 'em have grown old (having gums abandoned by their used-to-be-healthy teeth and with sagging skins all over, hehe kidding) yet they can still exchange the sweetest phrase “I Love You”s to each other?

Truly, what we keep in our heart is what really matters. Like if we feed our hearts with anger or hatred, it might result to developing unwanted attitude. But if we feed our hearts with love, we begin to demonstrate living life humbly and harmoniously.

“The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.”(from the gospel of Luke)
