INNOCENT MAN DIES TO SAVE OTHERS

Are you having a bad day?

Chin up, kid.  You've got Christ within you!

How about a little lyrical digestion:

I am a mountain

...in Christ, you are bigger than Mt. Zion; bigger than Calvary; bigger than any mountain that may be before you.

I am a tall tree

...in Christ, you are greater than any tree, greater than the tree of Jesus' crucifixion. You can overcome any cross in your life!

I am a swift wind

...you have life within you, you breathe life from within. You have the Holy Spirit. Be not afraid! 

If anybody asks you who I am, just stand up tall look 'em in the face and say:...you have your identity in Christ alone.

I'm that star up in the sky

...in your heart exists something, someone greater than every star, even the star that led the wise men. In your heart exists the ultimate guiding light.
I'm that mountain peak up high
...all of your dreams, all of your goals, are possible in Him.
Hey, I made it
...this is our goal! Will we make it? Do we desire to make it? Will we reach the highest heights?
I'm the world's greatest
...you are great because He made you so. You were made "very good."  Don't let anyone tell you differently.


     So, my fellow blog reader, I encourage you to find Christ in everyone and in everything that you do.  Some days may be the hardest of climbs, but know that the greatest mountain was already conquered. Christ did so with His own blood.  Claim that resurrection, and never be the same.

A Thousand Years

After looking at the comments for Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” on songmeaning.com I came across these two comments.

Smegumless: “I was quite surprised at these comments and the fact that it was in twilight.
Quite frankly I thought it was about God.”

Madisonx22 replies “Wow....loserrrr! It's obviously about how she's in love with someone.”

It’s shocking to see how Madisonx22 replies to a simple comment. In a way it’s true that Christina Perri had a different reason for writing this song, but it the end we are all created by the same God, who’s beauty we can see present in one another and in the world around us.

God is the source of our being. He created us, but more than that, He gives us our life. He is the reason why we are able to wake up in the morning. He loves us soo much!

Therefore, in order for us to simply exist, we really do need Him in our lives. However, what if He stopped thinking about us. What if for even a second He decided to stop caring for us. We would thus cease to exist because He is the source of our life. He must therefore always, at every single moment, be thinking about us. In other words we can say that He loves us into existence. Not only does he love us ever since we were born, more than that He has always thought about us and loved us even before we were born. He loves us soo much!

“Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. You turn men back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, O sons of men.” For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. You sweep men away in the sleep of death; they are like the new grass of the morning—though in the morning it springs up new, by evening it is dry and withered.” (Psalm 90: 1-6)

Wow, who would’ve thought how beautifully both this song and this psalm are able to express the same idea. Oh and by the way, when she says, “I have died everyday waiting for you” no person is able to do this, only God. Every single time mass is celebrated Jesus Himself gives Himself to us in the Eucharist, “The Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ.”
