  • Prayer or Worship?

    Perhaps if we worshipped more and prayed less, we may find that we’ll have less reason to pray and more reason to worship.

    That’s not as cryptic as it may sound. Worship, to me, is acknowledging the greatness of the Almighty and His power to make anything happen in your life. Prayer on the other hand, is submitting your needs to Him and hoping that you’re worthy of it being accepted. If this is an agreeable definition, then it stands to reason that the more we choose to recognise His mercy and blessings in our lives, the more likely we are to be inclined to show appreciation for it through worship, rather than to constantly overlook our blessings and focus on our needs that we need to pray for.

    But, we’re human, so we will err, and we will forget, and that is why in His eternal compassion, He has made available to us the channel of prayer at times when we find it difficult to acknowledge our blessings and are instead distracted by our needs or wants.

  • Not Quite A Shakespearean Sonnet

    Love’s sweet embrace

    How do I love thee?
    I cannot count the ways.
    Not the fluttering in my heart,
    Nor the shortness in my breath,
    Nor the lightness in my step,
    Not even the sparkle in my eyes at the thought of you,
    Or the elation in my soul at the sound of your sweet smile,
    None of this will ever truly hint at how much I love thee.

    Perhaps a hug,
    No, an enshrouding embrace with a lingering caress of your lips
    may shed some light into the depth of my love.
    But even then, the truth of my love will still remain untold.

    For I love thee like I’ve loved no other,
    And I live for thee, which I’ve never done for another.
    So you must love me,
    And you must cherish me,
    And you must hold me,
    And never leave me.
    For if you do, it will destroy me,
    And neither you nor I will ever be blessed with such a love again.

  • The Purpose of Life

    To be available to those that have a need to benefit from the resources that you have at your disposal so that their life’s trials may be lightened by the burdens of your own. Your ability to dispense of these benefits in a magnanimous and selfless manner is directly proportional to the perceived level of dignity and respect by which you’ll be addressed or received. Forming symbiotic relationships with those that have resources that serve your needs proportional to the resources you have to serve their needs is what would tend towards a healthy exchange of benefits and trials leading to procreation within the confines of wedlock…that’s of course only if you choose to maintain your dignity in the process. If not, it will lead to procreation out of wedlock, or perhaps no possibility of procreation at all if your choice is an unnatural relationship.

    So in a nutshell, using and being used if done with dignity and respect, will lead to an honourable and happy life. Maybe.
