Tears

I've been watching a couple of Hollywood films the last few days... Hulk, Jurrasic Park, Spiderman 3, Last Mohican... Lots of action, lots of science, lots of bloodshed... something however was making me go why am I watching people killing each other? maybe it was this verse...

Psalm 101:3 "I shall set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside: it shall not cleave to me"

Another thing, I've also seen how media can influence people a whole lot... Like telling people how great science is, telling them to believe that dinosaurs lived 65 million years ago, how getting revenge is ok...

How emotions are evoked through visuals and how this generation listens with its eyes and thinks with its feelings... No wonder so many people don't believe in a God who loves them dearly...

Somewhere along the way, media has filtered out any sense of reason to the spiritual realm... Computer graphics has killed imagination... People chasing elusive dreams, running after stardom... For what? Love, Fame, Money?

Attempts to be religious fail...

- Give money to the poor so that God will bless you more, isn't that selfish?

- Go on a mission trip far away and ask the church to sponsor you because you're running away from social and financial obligations, isn't that irresponsible?

- Ignore the people God has place around you to make a difference in their lives because you think they aren't worth the time and effort and you're caught up with your own problems, isn't that unloving?

Lord, help me to remember you... and do what you say...

So many questions racing around in my mind
To which the answers I'm trying to find
Uncertainty embraces every thought
Of the One whom I nearly forgot

Where the nails pierced His hands
Was I truly forgiven?
Did a crown of thorns save my soul?
Did a voice shouting out pave a way to heaven?

Do I still believe what I'm told?
He said trust me and you'll see a purpose for your life
I need guidance and direction in searching for the meaning of my life

This is reality, not hollywood...



















Still complain you're fat? or unhappy?
