= ABOUT ME =

 

hi! i'm ness...my posts are most often beautiful (in my belief) passages from many and different enlightened and wise people who were able to jot down in simple text their ideas and idealisms. since i am not and was never really talented in writing or expressing my innermost, valued beliefs, ideas and values, i will let these passages be the more appropriate and able conveyers. besides, it was through these writers and their pieces from which i learned and formed my own values. so as i present to you these writers and their creations, i am also presenting to you a part of me..get to know me through them..

I Yam What I Yam

by: Arun Gogna
**Taken from Didache. A reflection on the Gospel on Feb. 4, 2007 (Sunday)**
But by the grace of God I am what I am. – 1 Corinthians 15:10
Do you know the famous superhero who gets his strength from eating spinach?
When he eats the green leaves you will hear a short and familiar music.
Then all of a sudden his muscles get bigger.
No, I am not talking about King Kong but the one with the pipe in his mouth.
He's the lover of Olive Oyle. Yup, I'm talking about Popeye!
I remember his famous phrase, "I yam what I yam."
This phrase is the sad cry of many people today. Instead of admitting their shortcomings,
they say, "I yam what I am!" So they remain the same, they never grow.
Instead of taking on responsibility they declare, "I yam what I yam!" So they miss opportunities that life gives them.
Instead of repenting, they cry, "I yam what I yam!" So they separate themselves from God. Yes, you are what you are, you are the sum total of all your actions, thoughts, attitudes and habits, but that is not all. Because in truth, you are not yet what you will be .
God has so much in store for your life!
He has promised that He will continue what He has begun in you. We are assured of that.
God is making a masterpiece of your life.
And someday, by His grace, you will be.
