True Love Rains

originally written on June 18, 2011 from my veeeerryyy long unpublished note

...sometimes i think that everybody in this world is a liar. i live in a world full of lies. there's nothing true except God. there's no one who could love except God and we learn how to love because of Him, because we feel how majestic His love is for us even though we're not worthy of such love. He loves us even though we're sinners. He loves us even before we're actually born. if i have been loved by such a GREAT GOD, who am i? do you know what He replied?

"daughter, you are MINE"

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him." - 1 John 3:1

God is everywhere. the reason why we don't see and feel Him is because we don't make efforts to find Him. it's just like playing hide-and-seek. how could you find someone if you don't look for him, right? God already did His part. He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save us from the fiery fire of hell and whoever believes on Him will have eternal life (see John 3:16). did you ever ask yourself how God could care for someone like us? God made us all and in fact He could also kill us anytime but He didn't. He could all force us to worship Him but He didn't. why? because He simply LOVES us. He gave us freedom.

that's TRUE love.

you can never force it or demand it. you simply just have to show it to that person whom you truly love because you have something special to give and you choose that person to give your SPECIAL something.

Jesus Christ is so SPECIAL but God gave HIM, His SON, for us, for sinners like us. we just have to RECEIVE that SPECIAL gift which is the greatest manifestation of LOVE.

Lord, i know that You control everything and You love us so much. please help those people in need. calm the storm and prevent the killing flood.

Goodbye, my wildflowers

(This time, let me be just as I am. Let me express myself because I too feel of these emotions, but that’s not the issue. I just want my fellow youth to know that I too experience this but I rather look to God than meditate in these feelings. Because today, we are made for battles to win and there are some things that should just have to wait. Thank you.)

They say this place was meant for wildflowers

To bloom on the road for a man like me

To pick them up as I stroll and traverse

And then think of sunsets beside the sea.

Yes, I carried one and have made my heart

Like a vessel, a vase where it can reveal

Its strange beauty mistakenly called art,

A mystery I know that is unreal.

Because there were prickles that grow to hurt,

Even it was early to comprehend.

If only too much I did not exert,

So right now I will just have to amend.

And as the spring ends in the late of May,

There on the sands I lay the memories

So let the waters toss them far away

And let the summer cause no reminisce.

So then, let the dust forbid them to grow

Once they settle on a lonely island.

For I won't see wildflowers tomorrow,

Never to pick them again with my hand.

Waiting the summer, waiting for next spring

I hope better rosebuds burst into bloom

As they fill again my heart with singing

Of the serenade that makes love resume.

Goodbye, my wildflowers now forgotten

I have new petals to cover the scars.

For I will walk without being broken

Having daffodils array like the stars.
