Earthquake tragedy yesterday...

i have to say, was a terrible tragedy yesterday that happened with the indonesian earthquake & tsunami disaster... at least 22,000 souls cut off so far from their earthly existence... i cannot presume to understand why such a thing would happen, but it's mind-blowing, the fact that, considering my recent fights and struggle, my problems are nothing compared with what those affected by the earthquake are now having to endure... which are, in turn, again nothing compared with what God went thru for our sake about 2 millenia ago...

;p

praise God that he gave us all life!!! and praise God that he has given us the opportunity of salvation through his son, not only salvation, but the privilege to be called his children!!! i am so lucky and so blessed to be in my situation, and i should not feel so resentful...

found an encouraging verse today... let it be a reminder to us all ;p

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all
kinds of evil against you because of me." -
Matthew 5:11

Indeed, a very encouraging verse.
