The truth about me
Guo Feng is not patient and he is not kind.
Guo Feng does envy, does boast and is proud.
Guo Feng is rude (at times), self-seeking, is easily angered and he keeps record of wrongs.
Guo Feng does delight in evil (at times) but does not always rejoices with the truth.
Guo Feng does not always protects/trusts/hopes/perseveres.
BUT...Guo Feng knows Jesus and Jesus is all of that he isn't.
With Jesus, Guo Feng can change all that.

Why would anyone want to be atheist?"The way you are feeling right now is why I have to believe in something bigger than me...because if I didn't, that powerlessness will eat me alive."
- Dr. Preston Burke, fictional character from Grey's Anatomy
I guess things don't turn out the way we think it should be is s sign that we are not as capable as we think we are. It all goes to show that even as we seem to have all things planned out, there is bound to be certain factors that we cannot dictate. All these points to the fact that we are at the mercy of a higher power, a higher power which exist beyond what the human mind can perceive.
If anyone chooses to shut himself off from the knowledge of the existence of the higher power, then he loses hope as there would be a time where situations goes beyond human control. Contrary to popular belief, powerlessness is not a sign of weakness. By believeing in a higher power doesn't mean that you are weak, it actually means that you know of things beyond your limits and control. Acknowledging that fact is a form of courage, but it only means that you know that things go beyond you and you still can't overcome it.
Knowing about God is one thing, knowing God is another. First by acknowledging you can be powerless at times and secondly seeking ways in which you can be empowered in such situations by knowing the factor behind the unknown, only then can you overcome situations in which you feel powerless. This involves an element of faith, which is not taking blind chances. Faith is a calculated step, it is an informed choice because you must first know the reason why you can take that chance. How we know the reason is because we know God, not just as the creator and all powerful one, but also in an intimate relationship as a personal friend.
Thus, through having a personal relationship with God and having faith in Him, an individual can have the ability to overcome things in which might seem to be overpowering him.
