What would you do when you fall, and fail?

You stand up and walk again...


What would you do.. if you kept falling.. and failing and making the same mistake over and over again?




In a threatric play, there's the cast and the audience... You could be in the cast, having a role to play. But as you stumble and fail... you decided to catch a breather to just sit on the floor and watch instead..

As you watch the play goes by... you cheered along, laughed at the joke, cried with the people. Felt the emotion that was portrayed... as it goes on, you realised, the role originally planned for you... was not there..

You thought that you could be replaced, you thought that your role was insignificant... for some, you thought that your role was so important.. the play couldn't go on with you...

I need to get over the fact (and truth), that i'm a mere human with NO extraordinary strength.. many times, i set myself on a overdrive.. I want to be here, i want to there.. i want to be everywhere... to top things off, make things worse... Conditions and situations started clogging my mind, literally... till i have no more strength left...

And as i watched the play goes on with me at the audience seat... i wished i was a little stronger.. stronger to take on and adapt to a new role.. stronger to cheer and clap louder in the audiences seat...

YOU thought that you could be replaced.. matter of fact is... you can't.. YOU CANNOT be replaced... when you walk down that stage to sit on the floor... you realised your role is not replaced, your role was left empty.. but the play still goes on..

God create one and only you... ever wonder why certain people's paths crossed? you could be in another church, another ministry or never knew each other existence at all... but as long as you call upon the name of Jesus.. we will still go heaven..

But why is it that we are in the same church, same ministry?

Simple.. God has a plan for us.. all of us..

Imagine a huge playground with a bunch of kids playing.. everyone's running around, swinging on the monkey bar, sliding down the slide.. playing on the swing.. some played together, some played and just smiled at one another... Some sat down to catch a breather while some stopped because they collapsed.. But everyone is still there.. there will still be kids running around playing.. but when you catched your breath and stand up to run again.. you are back in the game.. No one is insignificant, no one is more than the other.. everyone has a part to play in each others' lives...

Thank you for being there all the time..
Thank you for being so patient with me..
Thank you for being so understanding..
I will remember that smile and the sound of the belly laughter..
I will remember that look on your face when you ate the ice cream..
I will remember you...

You played a significant role in my life... and no, you cannot be replaced..
Is it over? i don't know.. but one thing i know.. i don't want it to be over..
I don't want to make any empty promise.. but.. till the day comes when i can't.. till the day comes.. I love you...




Jesus... i'm tired... you either take it away or take me home... i dont want to hurt her anymore..


The silence has been broken..

To all reading this post, i may not know you from a bar of soap... but... start appreciating the people around you.. It's no by chance your paths crossed...
In a world like this... i'm sure everyone could use a little more nice"ness"...
We are in this world but not of this world.. Let's show a little more kindness to the people around.. what is love when you only love what is lovable.. when you say you love.. you accept everything from the good to the bad to even the ugly..




Let it go Steve... Let it go...



And Love remains patient..
