hey. im home frm church! im supposed to be out tracting with my youth group now, but im at home, and happily blogging. i didnt go tracting, because of, eh, i shall not reveal. haha.

anw, im feeling pretty much better now, everyone. so dont worry abt me alright. i'll be able to pull through all these. im strong, remember?

today's sermon was on faith. there's a story tht the pastor shared, abt faith, which inspiried me quite abit.

it goes like this:

there was a man with a dream. he wanted to impress the world, by climbing the world highest mountain. he wanted to show the world how powerful he was, and what he could do. he put himself through two years of training, to prepare himself to climb the moutain. two years of trainings finally passed. it was soon time for him to climb the mountain. he was confident tht he would be able to fulfill his dream, and most importantly, impress the world. so he went to climb the mountain. on his way up, night fell, and the sky started to grow darker and darker. he knew tht it would be so dark, tht he would not be able to see anything anymore. but he continued climbing the mountain anyway. up and up he went. and soon, whn he felt tht he was almost reaching the top of the mountain, and whn his dream seem so close to be fulfilled, the sky was all dark. he couldnt see anything. and suddenly, he slipped and fell. whn he fell, he thought to himself tht why is his life like this. he thought tht he've lost everything. and whn he fell to one point, and he stayed still. he found out tht there was actually a rope tied around his waist, tht held him there, in the mid air. he tired all ways to try and save himself, but was all in vain. in the end, and he shouted for God to save him. after shouting and calling out to God for quite some time, he heard a voice. it says: do you really want me to save you? the man replied: yes, i want you to save me. the voice asked agn: you really believe tht i can save you? the man answered: yes Lord, i believe tht you can save me. and the voice answered: alright. i want you to un-tie the rope tht's attached to your waist. the man replied: what? you want me to un-tie the rope which was the only thing, holding me on falling? and in the end, the man was left there alone, and was freezed to death. a few days later, someone found his body. his body was hung on a rope tht was about 10 feet off ground.

this story tells us tht we have to believe in God and have faith in him. its not only vocal faith, saying tht we believe, we believe. its really believing him in our heart. if the man really believed, tht he would be saved, he would have un-tie the rope. and even if he fell off the rope, the rope was only 10 feet off the ground, and he wouldnt have died.

believe in God's words for his words are eternal.

"The Lord exists forever; your word is firmly fixed in heaven. Your faithfulness endures all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast." Pslam 119:89,90
