Beautiful Tapestry

Thursday December 4, 2014

According to an Italian newspaper, more and more immigrants are asking for plastic surgery so they can look more "Western". Some Asians are requesting procedures to reshape eyes and make them rounder; some Africans are undergoing procedures to reduce the size of their lips and reshape their bodies; other ethnicities of darker skin colours are undergoing procedures to lighten their skin because lighter skin is associated with success. These individuals, who aren´t satisfied with their appearances, would probably find it difficult to sing David´s song in Psalm 139.

David recognised that God´s intimate knowledge of him was so complete that it began even before he was born. God sovereignly watched over him as he grew in his mother´s womb (vv. 13-15). Though he was hidden from human view within his mother´s body, he wasn´t hidden from the all-seeing gaze of God (v. 16). When David thought about God´s intimate knowledge of him and His thorough control over of the entire process of his development, it led him to be in awe and wonder at the complexity and beauty of God´s workmanship - every minute physical detail of his body (v. 14). David´s eyes, lips, pigmentation, body type and entire existence were not mistakes that needed to be altered, but gifts from God that needed to be acknowledged.

Let´s join David in his song of praise to God. Like one who weaves a beautiful tapestry, God created every part of our bodies with amazing detail, intention and diversity. He made us the way we are. We´re the beautiful, wonderful and complex workmanship of His hand. May our response to His awesome work include thanksgiving (v.14), loyalty (vv. 19-22) and humble surrender (vv. 23-24) - Marvin Williams

Read
Psalms 139: 1-24
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; 
You perceive my thoughts from afar,
You discern my going out and my lying down;
You are familiar with all my ways,
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.

You hem me in - behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, 
too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, 
If I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and
the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you,
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother´s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I am awake, I am still with you

If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me, 
and lead me in the way everlasting.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your Body.

Question to Ponder
What makes it difficult for you to thank God for the way He´s woven you together?
How will you thank God today for the beautiful tapestry He wove together when He created you? 
How will you honour Him with your body this week?

A Thousand Years

Lyrics | Christina Perri lyrics - A Thousand Years lyrics

Heartbeats fast 

Colors and promises 

How to be brave 

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall 

But watching you stand alone 

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow 

One step closer 

I have died everyday waiting for you 

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you 

For a thousand years 

I love you for a thousand more 

Time stands still 

Beauty in all she is 

I will be brave 

I will not let anything take away 

What's standing in front of me 

Every breath 

Every hour has come to this 

One step closer 

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/christina+perri/a+thousand+years_20986324.html ] 

I have died everyday waiting for you 

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you 

For a thousand years 

I love you for a thousand more 

And all along I believed I would find you 

Time has brought your heart to me 

I have loved you for a thousand years 

I love you for a thousand more 

One step closer 

One step closer 

I have died everyday waiting for you 

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you 

For a thousand years 

I love you for a thousand more 

And all along I believed I would find you 

Time has brought your heart to me 

I have loved you for a thousand years 

I love you for a thousand more

The song sounds beautiful and the lyrics mean even more..... They indeed chose a very good song this time to accompany the movie... ^^

The Book Of Love

Lyrics | Peter Gabriel - Book Of Love lyrics

All The Wrong Places - Tyler Ward and Justin Reid (Feat....

Tell me why do you fall?
So far that you cant contain it?
Tell me why cant you see that your searching all the wrong places
Baby, You dont know
But i will try to explain it
Baby, why cant you see that your searching
All the wrong places

I dont wanna play these games anymore
Tired of watching you walk out the door
Hiding here still, scared to reveal
How we really feel
Baby this is so real

Tell me have you ever noticed when we’re all alone
How you get so nervous
Baby why cant you see that your searching
All the wrong places
You say you’ve been through it all
And you don’t know how your gonna change it
Baby why cant you see that your searching
All the wrong places

I dont wanna play these games anymore
Tired of watching you walk out the door
Hiding here still,Too scared to reveal how we really feel
Baby this is so real

Just looking right at the stars
Just look where we are
Just look where we are

Say Goodbye

C

This song really has alot of meaning to it.

Like it says, sometimes goodbye is for the best for you and me. Though in memories you will always remain, in reality, you are nothing but a passing phase.

My Baby You

Du bist das beste was mir passiern konnte, meine Liebe... Ich Liebe dich

as i look into your eyes
i see all the reasons why
my life's worth a thousand skies
you're the simplest love i've known
and the purest one i'll own
know you'll never be alone
 

my baby you
are the reason i could fly
and 'cause of you
i don't have to wonder why
baby you
there's no more just getting by
you're the reason i feel so alive

though these words i say are true
they still fail to capture you
as mere words can only do
how do i explain that smile
and how it turns my world around
keeping my feet on the ground

i will soothe you if you fall
i'll be right there if you call
you're my greatest love of all

Gave it all away

I will learn to live before I die
will learn to love and learn to try
not to give it all away 

she may be
the one that's meant for me
or for the man that I used to be

til' I gave it all away

why I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more re re
but I gave it all away

you taught me to see the better truth
about yourself but about me too
I was stupid over you
what could I do

why I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more
but I gave it all away

some people wait a lifetime for a chance like this
I've waited enough
baby, no, I won't let you go
I'm sick of tears and being fierce

why I lay my heart down on the floor
I showed you love, you wanted more
but I gave it all away

there's nothing left to take

I gave it all away

Still Believe in Love

The first time I heard this song, I totally love it... the lyrics was very meaningful and the song was just superb....... Apparently it was suppose to be one of the songs in the Twilight Saga soundtrack, unofficially I guess cos I have never seen it in the CDs of the soundtrack :)

Today, I share this... cos somehow, somewhere it feels appropriate to share the lyrics..... 
Sometimes, songs and movies...... they have a meaning behind them.... only if we look and understand them and not merely look at it as just another movie or song :)

It was a clear summer day
When I saw the tears in your face
I knew that our time was up on us

Our moment of end was so fast
But the kiss of goobye always lasts
Not even time could fade it away

Even though you are no longer here
There is still something between us
Even though life isn't fair
I'd never lose my trust

Chorus:
Just another lesson to be learned
Gotta move on and not lose faith
Just another obstacle to take
Live my life before it gets too late
I won't give up
I won't stay down
This is what life's worth living for
(Life's worth living for)
I still believe in love

I'm holding the warmth of your lips
It feels like the time we first kissed
When all of the stars lined up for us

But like the wind you said goodye
And left me alone here to cry
We shouldn't have gone our separate ways

Even though you are no longer here
There is still something between us
Even though life isn't fair
I'd never lose my trust

Chorus:
Just another lesson to be learned
Gotta move on and not lose faith
Just another obstacle to take
Live my life before it gets too late
I won't give up
I won't stay down
This is what life's worth living for
(Life's worth living for)
I still believe in love

Chorus:
Just another lesson to be learned
Gotta move on and not lose faith
Just another obstacle to take
Live my life before it gets too late
I won't give up
I won't stay down
This is what life's worth living for
(Life's worth living for)
I still believe in love

Thanks To You

 Thanks To You

Thank you for teaching me how to love
Showing me what the world means
What I've been dreamin' of
And now I know, there is nothing that I could not do
Thanks to You

For teaching me how to feel
Showing me my emotions
Letting me know what's real
From what is not
What I've got is more that I'd ever hoped for
And a lot of what I hope for is
Thanks to you

No mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will pull me through
Thanks to You
There's no mountain, no valley
No time, no space
No heartache, no heartbreak
No fall from grace
Can't stop me from believing
That my love will see me through
Thanks to You
Thanks to You

For teaching me how to live
Putting things in perspective
Teaching me how to give
And how to take
No mistake
We were put here together
And if I breakdown
Forgive me but it's true
That I'm aching with the love I feel inside
Thanks to You
Thanks to you

Look at me

Look at me
Look into my eyes
It should come as no surprise
Things look different here


Look at me
See my hands and feet
Just a little less complete
But the picture is clear


When you look at me
What do you see
A slightly damaged package
Or a gift from God


When you look at me
Look into my heart
That's where you can start to understand
That this face you see when you look at me
Was created by God's hands


Look at me
See me when I smile
I'm heavens precious child sent from up above
Look at me
Hear me when I sing
I'm thankful for the things God has done


When you look at me
What do you see
A slightly damaged package
Or a gift from God


When you look at me
Look into my heart
That's where you can start to understand
That this face you see
When you look at me
Was created by God's hands


When you look at me
Look into my heart
We're not so far apart it's plain to see
When I look at you
I see someone who
Looks alot like me


And when I look at you
I see someone who
Looks alot like me
