Weekly Devotion: Thankfulness to defender


Dear Lord,

I am living in presence of you. I am thankful for who you are. I cannot imagine how my life would have been without you. I come closer to you.

I am breaking out of this world and trying to live in a peace. Practicing your presence is not easy. I am tempted to do something else. I cannot do this tomorrow.

The Bible tells me that you give peace and life to those who seek and equip your spirit. What do you mean by making difference between living with spirit and flesh?

What I know is that you tell me to get out of excessive planning and scheduling. Was I forgetting your presence through such things? If I did, I am sorry. But Lord, I am overwhelmed with the workloads. I don't know what do to with them. I cannot handle them. I don't have the ability to get through this. I do not like reading and writing. I am barely on the level where I could follow reading, and I don't remember anything from what I have read.

F()ck. There are people out there who judges and criticizes my identity. They think that there are something higher and stronger. They think they know something and put me down into despair. They dare to separate myself from you. I wish to curse them. I hate those who separate myself from you.

Defend me Lord. Protect me. Punish those who strike the poor.

Psalms 141:8, "For my eyes are toward You, O God, the Lord; In You I take refuge; do not leave me defendless.
Psalms 16:11, "You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever."

[Travel NewYorkCity] Day 4

Hi :) last meal before leaving New York 갈비탕 (galbi soup) in Korea Town heading to New York Public Library guy juggling New York Public Library back entrance front entrance I started reading this book since the travel. Though I did not finish reading the whole book, it brought me more fun during the travel since the setting in the book takes place in New York. I think I should do this more (taking books that are related to the place I travel).

Korean Idioms Questions

1)  This old idiom is used when someone acts in the way that makes the situation even worse. 나쁜 일이 있는데 또 나쁜 일이 겹쳐서 아주 지리리 불운한 상황을 뜻합니다. What is this idiom in both Korean and English?

[Book] Problem of Pain - C.S. Lewis

http://allaboutcslewis.com/2013/05/17/the-problem-of-pain/ I pick-up this book while I was working in HaeunDae. It took me a week to read this book, and I read in Korean. The context is complex. But there are few things that I remember about this book. One word to remember from this book is probably the last sentence of the book. It says pain helps to show heroic ability or reveal such quality. Some people may fall into deeper pain, but most of the people end up showing their heroic quality. Pain helps people to strengthen their spirit, but that is not to say that pain is good all the time. Romans 8:16 writes that the pain leads it to show God's glory, but we need to acknowledge some downfall that pain may lead into. Anyway, people learn how to give-up themselves and learn how to give their ego instead of having strong self ego. Lewis knew this. He also talks about how heaven is very important. Its existence determines whether Chri...
