who do you trust

I read this just now and i'm going to paste it here. Sorry about the English.

Reader, this is an important question. Listen to the Christian’s answer, and see if it is yours. “On whom dost thou trust?” “I trust,” says the Christian, “in a triune God. I trust the Father, believing that he has chosen me from before the foundations of the world; I trust him to provide for me in providence, to teach me, to guide me, to correct me if need be, and to bring me home to his own house where the many mansions are. I trust the Son. Very God of very God is he—the man Christ Jesus. I trust in him to take away all my sins by his own sacrifice, and to adorn me with his perfect righteousness. I trust him to be my Intercessor, to present my prayers and desires before his Father’s throne, and I trust him to be my Advocate at the last great day, to plead my cause, and to justify me. I trust him for what he is, for what he has done, and for what he has promised yet to do. And I trust the Holy Spirit—he has begun to save me from my inbred sins; I trust him to drive them all out; I trust him to curb my temper, to subdue my will, to enlighten my understanding, to check my passions, to comfort my despondency, to help my weakness, to illuminate my darkness; I trust him to dwell in me as my life, to reign in me as my King, to sanctify me wholly, spirit, soul, and body, and then to take me up to dwell with the saints in light forever.”

Oh, blessed trust! To trust him whose power will never be exhausted, whose love will never wane, whose kindness will never change, whose faithfulness will never fail, whose wisdom will never be nonplussed, and whose perfect goodness can never know a diminution! Happy art thou, reader, if this trust is thine! So trusting, thou shalt enjoy sweet peace now, and glory hereafter, and the foundation of thy trust shall never be removed.

for my dad

hi, how are you?
Funny when i say i don't feel like blogging, i baru have a feeling to blog again. Well not to say a reason but just feel like saying something. I've been listening to hillsong, God he reigns, and its really great. I know its quite old but i love it.

God is awesome, its nice that a puny person like me can have such a big God how never sleeps just to keep me out of trouble and safe. And how he's always there, just a conversation away even though i don't talk much. He understands the things i cannot say because i don't know how. And even though the world thinks i'm weird, you think i'm you very own.

You ask me to draw close to you and instead i ask why you are far. You give me what i ask for until i feel spoiled. I can never understand your love for me. And yes its true no one can love me like you do.

Thank you for the blessing of music that you have given to us, thank you for awesome friends that i can hang out with, thank you for the salvation that we enjoy, and help me to look beyond me and spread your goodness out just like the way you send rain and sun all both good and evil. Thank you for everyday and for today.

I just want to thank God for my studies, this is turning out to be one of my best semesters especially as its the short semester. I've dreaded the short semester for so long and have blamed it for my less than stellar academic performance but this time its different. God gives me double for my trouble haha.

This week has been awesome, starting sunday. Its been really good for someone like me, i feel like the walls i used to hide behind are just crumbling down and God is just searching for me like adam in the garden of eden, where are you oguchi? You know you cant hide there for long, i love you and i'm still interested in you. You are my son. Its been great, indeed no one can understand the depths of God's love, so dont try. That said he desires that i feel like he feels and see the hurts and needs of the people around me, see through all the walls they hide behind and be a source of healing. Because was all need him, we ALL do.

Mark is in town, and i just bless God for his life, yeah. Its not him but God in him thats doing all the mighty works. If there's one thing i would like to remember for the rest of my life its this; i am loved by God. Perfect love expells all fear.

Jesus i just want to thank you for who you are, and for who i am. I thank you for accepting me and for loving me even though i'm not completely everything you desire of me but i want to live for you, see you glorified through me, help me in all my weaknesses, help me come to you in humility, on your terms. You are my father, but you are also King.
