fools!

i just visited the last cell blog and i was really happy reading it this saturday morning. keep it up guys! =)

so last night, there we were in this noisy little macs in gardens, talking, sharing, praying, and i thought, we must have looked like fools! but then i also thought, wow, how beautiful this is!

a few days ago, 2 people told me the same thing in less than 24 hours. as i read/listened to what they had to say, i realised, it's hard to understand, yes it is. we, humans, are so small and insignificant and yet we believe that this big, almighty god loved us so much he gave us his son. how silly we are to think that god could become human. look at how huge this universe is. surely, you can't believe that...? this man called jesus, it's hard to believe that he's nothing more than just a man, a man who came to stir trouble, a man who "started some organisation"...and yet, we believe he still lives, we encounter him daily, we worship him with our lives (or try to). and again, i felt, how foolish the world thinks we are, we who cannot prove the existence of this god (or can't we?). and yet, as joshua said last night, therein lies the beauty of it all.

faith is a mysterious thing. does god need our prayers? no. does god need US? no. but god chooses us, creates us, loves us. our home is in god. yes, he is the potter of the entire universe and his fingerprints are imprinted everywhere, and our hearts are no exception. it takes more than a few well-thought out arguments to be as "foolish" as we are. or maybe less. but this is the only thing that makes sense to our hearts. that we come from god, we live for god and we go back to god.

i quote melt who quoted a woman in the oprah winfrey show (i admit i like watching it too, melt, haha).

'We are not human beings in a spiritual experience; We are spiritual beings in a human experience.'
