to soar on the wings of eagles

“Therefore stay alert, because you do not know the day or the hour. For it is like a man going on a journey, who summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The one who had received five talents went off right away and put his money to work and gained five more. In the same way, the one who had two gained two more. But the one who had received one talent went out and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money in it. After a long time, the master of those slaves came and settled his accounts with them. The one who had received the five talents came and brought five more, saying, ‘Sir, you entrusted me with five talents. See, I have gained five more.’ His master answered, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful in a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’ The one with the two talents also came and said, ‘Sir, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more.’ His master answered, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. Enter into the joy of your master.’ Then the one who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Sir, I knew that you were a hard man, harvesting where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’ But his master answered, ‘Evil and lazy slave! So you knew that I harvest where I didn’t sow and gather where I didn’t scatter? Then you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received my money back with interest! Therefore take the talent from him and give it to the one who has ten. For the one who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless slave into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth’”
- Matthew 25:13-30

story of my life, as i realized today. i never understood this parable, i always thought, isn't safekeeping good isn't of gambling it away, like a double or nothing sorta thing? cause i equated talents to money. but today, receiving my results, i realized that God has given me this talent of understanding things easily, that even when i don't really try, i can still make it through okay. it's just something i can do, strangely, thanks to God really. and today i thought, what have i done to improve this gift that God has given me? answer: nothing, just slacked like crazy and relied on my talent to be lazy. sigh, i now know, that i must multiply it, i must work harder to make God proud, to make me proud. just an interesting nugget of thought from my mind.

even if you lose faith in yourself, don't lose faith in God.


good stuff! :D

Love is on the move by Leeland
On the corner of his street
The homeless man needs to eat
On the edge of town

Lost his family long ago
Nobody even knows
They all just pass him by

[chorus]
But love is on the move
Revealing heaven's truth!
Love is on it's way and it will find him

In a high rise building
The rich man has everything
But the letter has reached it's end

Hasn't talked to his kids on weeks
He and his wife don't even speak
Nobody even knows

[chorus]
But love is on the move
Revealing heaven's truth
Love is on it's way and it will find him

Anyone can run
Into the arms of god
Love is on it's way and it will find you

And all the world cries for healing
The deepest loving for the love of god
And oh! the greatest mystery
Love has come to save us

And in the little quiet town
The hope of the world was found
Under the night sky

He died and rose again
The sacrifice that conquered sin
And we are his feet his hands

[chorus]
Love is on the move
Revealing heavens truth
Love is on it's way and it will find you

And anyone can run
Into the arms of god
Love is on it's way and it will find you

Oh anyone can run
Into the arms of god
Love is on it's way and it will find you

and this is the other song that's been stuck in my head lately.. :D
