Where Faith Takes Me
Sunday, December 10, 2006
Seeing that I'm so lazy to post up anything to do with holiday at the moment, this is a poem I wrote for my editorial in St. Benedict's 2006 yearbook =
Here I stand before the expectations thrown,
Looked beyond my past and see how I’ve grown,
Reaching the stage of where I’m living today,
This is it, a chance for me to have my say.
But my mind is blank as all my thoughts fade,
Too many challenges faced and choices made,
The future’s an uncertainty ready to be shaped,
What I encounter in life were only chances scraped.
Where do I go from here, which path do I take?
If I step out of my comfort zone, will it be a mistake?
I need to learn to speak up and shrink my weaknesses,
And the only way to do that is to offer happiness.
As the years passed by, knowledge became life’s tools,
As we’d gone through kindergarten, primary and high schools,
Making new friends and keeping old ones close,
And so, when separated, the relationship still grows.
Stumbled upon an open crossroad, wondering where to turn,
Feeling lost and unaware of new trusts to be earned,
We focus on the unknown battles we know we have to win,
But how can we go up that path if we’re drenched with sin?I pray, dear God, give me the courage to keep following Your call,
Whatever fears I have inside, let my love for \you beat them all,
Without You, my life’s a chaos and I wouldn’t get this far,
And though deep within I’m living a mess, outside I’m a star.
I thank You for my loving family and all my blessed friends,
I shall grab hold the opportunities that’ll hopefully never end,
And if my faith should bail on me, can I really change?
Let’s start now by preaching about what some thought were quite strange.
Let the Spirit reverse the flow of my uneventful life,
So now I’m back to my first steps and I really need to strive,
The thought of a vast world waiting, throws me off my guard,
But all I need to clear the clutter is just to always pray hard.
I know some of you may feel the same so come and seek God’s peace,
He is always in the solution thus our worries can be ceased,
Wherever we are, God is with us, so reveal your inner gift,
As now I see the light He shines coz He gave me a better lift.
So even when our future isn’t clearly mapped out yet,
I pray for each and every one of you to never ever forget,
Christ is our light when our hearts’ too dark to see,
Coz here I am right now, His love is where faith takes me.
If you have a heart for God, everything else will fall into place. Maybe not the way you want it to, but in whatever way God knows is best. It is one of my many wishes to spread God’s love and share the miracles he’d performed in my daily life. Little things that worry me, I lift them up to him and as cliché as it sounds, it is very true that ‘everything is alright’. But I do realise that not everyone shares the same faith, and belief is one of the most important virtues for individuals. Attending St. Benedict’s has helped me to widen my horizons and see God from every point of view, Christians and non-Christians alike. We may all have different faiths but that all those faiths have one purpose – they take us to wherever we want to be, lead us to our unknown future and most of all, bring love to this chaotic world.
Yet here I am, insecure about everything around me but my main focus is to share God’s love. God doesn’t always tell us what we want to hear but that’s where our faith works its miracles. Nothing is impossible with God.
So you must have heard 'God loves You' being said to you all the time and the message is clear - God really does love you for who you are….
