    identity

    what is our identity?

    we are identified by our IDs in school.. 
    we are identified by our IC numbers in our country.. 

    cars are identified by number plates on the road.. 

    but what is our true identity? 
    who are we when we are stripped of our roles and responsibilities.. 
    who are we when we are stripped of our role as a student.. as a citizen.. as a daughter..

    what truly matters in life?
    everything seems temporal.. the things we buy, we own.. 
    everything that we touch will one day fade away.. or at the very least decompose.. 

    what is the everlasting object/person/thing that will be able to withstand time and everything in its surroundings.. 

    what was unchanged through out the years, centuries, decades.. 
    culture change.. environment change... weather change.. technology change.. people change... 

    the technology that was once considered a breakthrough in the history of man... people thought that nothing could beat that.. people could not imagine a better technology than that.. in a few years time.. there is going to be another breakthrough.. another more improved technology.. another better product.. just another....

    people change in the matter of years, weeks.. or even days.. people are never the same today and tomorrow.. 

    so what is unchanging?...
    what is the constant?...


    GOD... 



    God was there before the earth was formed..
    God was there during the creation of the earth... He created the earth and everything in it.. in 6 days.. 
    God was there when the first man and first women were created..
    God was there when the first sin took place.. 
    God was there...


    God was there, when you closed the door behind you and cried in your room quietly.. 
    God was there, when you were hurt by others..
    God was there when you hurt others..
    God was there when you walked away from temptation.. 
    God was there when you fell for temptation.. 
    God was there when you were feeling lonely.. 
    God was there when you thought no one understand what you were going through..
    God was there when you think life is not worth living..
    God was there when you were on top of the world, because something great happened to you..
    God was there....

    God is there still.. beside you.. waiting for you to talk to him.. waiting for the day when you would acknowledge His presence.. His Lordship over your life.. 

    God will be there for the future hurts, happiness, difficult times, easy times.. God will be there..

    God never change.. He never will.. 
    God was gracious to mankind when they first sinned.. 
    God is gracious to us still.. 

    God loved us so much that He sent Jesus down to die for us on the cross.. 
    God still loved us very much that He hasn't left us in this chaotic world.. 




    our identity is in Christ.. 
    our identity in Christ will never change.. 

    when i was sad, i am a child of God..
    when i was happy, i am a child of God.. 
    when i was tired of everything happening, i am a child of God.. 
    when i was hurt, i am a child of God.. 


    and this will never change.. it will never be something that i cant live up to either.. 
    because i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.. 


    the power of the cross.. 
    the power of God.. 
    surpasses man's intelligence, wisdom, understanding... 



    God has not changed... He will never.. (: 

    All praise to Christ our God.. (:
