Beautiful Stranger - Chrissy
Brushed shoulders, blank expression, not a word exchanged
Standing in the masses, disoriented in thoughts, lost in transition
The mind takes on a life of its own, warring to self destruction
There got to be something for me somewhere
Out of the corner of my eyes, I caught a familiar sight
My eyes sweep across the aisle and fix on you.
A beautiful stranger
An overwhelming sense of deja vu
You stood there staring at me, I wonder why
Time stood still in anticipation when your vision align with mine
What is to come, each step closer send shockwaves through
Electrifying, sometimes painful, other times fearful
Your visage faltering like a mirage, unreal
Escape on my mind, realisation of disillusion plunges deep
The hope of the unknown hanging on...
Should I stay or should I go?

of discovering Grace
"Grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us more and there is nothing we can do to make God love us less."
Grace comes so freely but yet people just can't accept that. Refuse to accept it even though it is staring us squarely in the face.
Coming from the mentality that "there is no free lunch in the world", we tend to question God's Grace the same way. Is it really given freely? No question asked?
In almost everything we do, there is often a hidden agenda, something that is of our vested interest. Grace on the other hand works on the opposite of the pendulum. It requires nothing from us, makes no demands and ask for nothing in return. The only thing I could think of is that it requires us to have the full assurance of the definition of Grace.
However our thick head just refuse to let that truth sink in. Is that so hard to comprehend? It might be incomprehensible at first, but just wait and see...
Eph2:4-5 (NIV) But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
