You are.

The world, is sad.
Disappointed to the bone.
Upset in every inch of a person's body.
Frustrated at every moment caught by one's eyes.

It's easy to put up a front and claim that one is alright.
But deep down, there's a fear, an irritation, a hatred that lingers.
The hand of the devil.
It grips onto the hearts of many and refuses to let go.
Every now and then, it claws and holds on tighter, making the pain excruciating.


Why??
Why must people feel this way?


Their hearts are filled with darkness.
The emptiness tinges body, soul and spirit, and leaves a void which attracts the claws of the murderer to sink deeper and deeper.


Evil, evil, evil.
Question: "What can compare to the evil of the one who comes to kill, steal and destroy?"
Broken relationships, wrong mindsets, unforgiving grudges, incomprehensible attitudes are all part and parcel of it.
You see them everyday, you feel them every minute and you may think of them every single second.

Hope I don't sound negative enough to be labelled a pessimist.



On the flip side of the coin,
"What can compare to the One who has come to heal the brokenhearted, to save those who seek salvation and proclaim revival?"

Take 1 minute to think about it.



Done?
You may have thought of various senarios, pictures, words and phrases that could have represented Him.
Majestic robes, a leader with boldness and courage.
Some may even compare Him with purifying streams, tantalizing water, the gentle breeze that sooths one's soul.


But the truth is in fact, NOTHING is comparable to Him.
"I AM who I AM...Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you'" - Exo 3:14

Wait a minute.
You may say, "Man the bible sure has bad English, who in the world says statements like 'I am has sent me to you'?"


Well, you just said it.
It's in the bible and it will remain in it for eternity as it is the truth.


NOTHING is comparable to Him, nothing.
Hence, it is stated in the truth of all truths - "I AM"

I am, what?
He is, what?
You are, what???
What is He?


Everything.

There is nothing that can compare with the king of kings, so it is finalised that He is.
You are.


And since everything is Him, it definitely outweighs the many which describes the evil of the world.
Who would choose many if one is promised everything?


He is.
Yesterday, today and for eternity.

Turn that dark, blood-stained claws into white, majestic wings that will protect not only your heart, but every part of you.

For You are.
