주일예배

언젠간 내가 사랑하는 목사님께서 말씀하셨다. 
주일 예배는 그토록 보고싶던, 사랑하는 예수 만나는 시간이 되어야 한다고. 

Known Stupidity

Call me a fool, but if believing in something that you cannot see, if Christianity is something that is not real, but allows people to live their lives to the fullest, to love, to embrace, to forgive, to enjoy overall, I would rather stay a fool. 

타이밍

언젠간 너는 내게 사랑은 타이밍이라 했었지. 그 땐 별 말을 하지 않고 묵묵히 들었는데 오늘에서야 답변이 생각났어.

웃기지마

타이밍? 그건 핑계야. 하나님의 전부라고 해도 과언이 아닌 사랑을 그깟 시간에 국한지어서 상황의 흐름에 맡겨 버리는 건 무책임한 거라고. 그냥 마음이 떠나간 것이겠지. 정말 사랑이라면 그 어떤 상황과 순간 속에서도 언제나 다시 시작할 수 있는 용기와 도전, 끈기와 희생이 생길 거라 생각해.

미련은 없어. 단지 그런 말을 할 때 다시 생각해주길 바라는 거야. 

Chasm Between the Heart and the Mind

We strangers everyday

Children at heart

Each to their own way

Longing for love to start

Though lonliness accompanies

Waiting for a hand

The cold intensifies

Desperate, trying to stand

Almost Amos

"This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: a basket of ripe fruit. 'What do you see, Amos?' he asked." Amos 8:1-2b

Out of the many in that time, he chose to speak to a shepherd. Or was it that no one else was listening? God seems so eager to converse with us. 

I had always thought I needed to pray for the good of all, but I'm slowly realizing that God is rather exclusive. If He so desires, He could change the world for one man. 

Perhaps I could make Wonju his favorite town. Perhaps I could make our family his favored people. Perhaps I could be his love. 

James 4:13-17

"Now listen, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.' Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, 'If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that.' As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. James 4:13-17

The Markings of a Cross

I have no intention of changing the world anymore. I simply want to be changed myself. Little by little, my heart is marked by your cross, for you deserve my very best.
