I was thinking if I would have a special performance during my Matri and I felt that this song was quite nice... This is the original singer performing. His name is Jason Mraz. Please spend some time listening to him and the drummer...
And then I found this CHAMPION.. Super Hilarious. Listen to find out why..
I salute you Brudder...

Strength
Strength is not about what you can do now, but it's about what you can do in the future..
A strong person will be outstanding at this moment but it is the stronger one who will last till the end.
The end is most important as the reward is what follows after.
Strength takes time to build up. Often, it cannot be rushed but it needs to be monitored.

The Human Heart
Revelation..
The bible says in Gal 6:9 (NKJV) "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
This verse made me think quite a bit although this is not the first time I've read this verse. In fact, I have used this verse before in one of my offering messages. However, strangely, the other versions such as NIV or NLT did not mention "do not lost heart" but rather, they used "do not give up" in those versions.
So what is it about the human heart? Why is it that when we lose heart, it gives a similar meaning as we have given up?
Well, the human heart is about the only organ that knows how to move on its own. Unlike the hand/feet/hips etc, they rely on the brain sending messages to them before they are activated. However, the Human Heart pumps and pumps without any instructions from the brain.. "The heart of a vertebrate is composed of cardiac muscle, an involuntary striated muscle tissue which is found only within this organ." quoted from wikipedia.
When I was worshipping God that day with this verse stuck in my mind, I begin to understand more about the Human Heart. See, the heart will go on pumping and pumping no matter what. It's like life will go on no matter what. At times, the heart can also pump even if the brain is not functioning. The heart speaks of a Man's ways and life.
Now, the bible says that Christ is the head. We all know that what's in the head is the brains. If Christ is the head, then the brains must be Christ's innermost part. The heartbeat of Jesus, the heart of hearts, the very intentions, thoughts, ideas, direction of God.
To function fully, the heart must be connected to the brain. That is like a man that is well connected to God, knowing His ways, His thoughts, intentions, direction, plans. This man knows not only about God but he knows God. Yea, that's a man destined for success.
There are also other scenerios, such as a man who's heart has stopped pumping (maybe due to heart attack). Is he dead? Certainly not. That's why doctors, can declare one to be brain dead but not heart dead. In other words, even if the heart stops pumping, the person is not neccessarily dead. As long as God is alive, there's hope for man. There's hope for salvation. Some tried to kill God but on the 3rd day He rose again victoriously. Unless the heart gives up on the brain, the brain will not give up on the heart. So long as the brain is alive, there's still hope.
The bottomline is that we must come to a point where we know the heartbeat of Christ, the thoughts of Christ, the plans, the desires, the intentions, the directions... Then only are we connected to the Head. Then only will our heart pump normally and still maintain connection to the brain and the whole body functions well.
There are people who are still existing and functioning. However, they are brain dead already as they have lost the connection to the Brain. Though they seems to still have connection to the head (still attending church) butthey have lost the connection to the inner part of the head and are clueless with what God is thinking or the way God is moving. These are the brain dead...
