Composer George Frideric Handel was bankrupt when in 1741 a group of Dublin charities offered him a commission to write a musical work. It was for a benefit performance to raise funds to free men from debtors' prison. He accepted that commision and gave himself tirelessly to work on it.
In just 24 days, Handel composed the well-known masterpiece Messiah, which contains "The Hallelujah Chorus." During that time, he never left him home and often went without eating. At one point, a servant found him weeping over his evolving score.
Recounting his experience, Handel wrote, "Whether I was in my body or out of my body as I wrote it I know not. God knows." Afterward he also said, "I did think I did see heaven before me and the great God Himself."
"The Hallelujah Chorus" stirs my soul whenever I hear it, as I'm sure it does yours. But let's be sure we do more than resonate to that magnificent music. Let's open our hearts in faith and adoration for the Messiah promised in the book of Issiah (Isa. 9:1-7). He has come to us in the person of Jesus Christ be our Savior. "Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder" (v.6). - Vernon C. Grounds
Beautiful Savir! Lod of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be Thine! - Seiss (trans.)
God's highest Gift awakens our deepest gratitude.

I really hope that mum will forget about my worse result... so that I can go church...
When I have my result, she was very angry and command me not to go church... as I spent almost 2 days time there... she think it is wasting time doing unbeneficial stuff... well, she is not a Christian... T.T
Now, her up-line is here... perhaps there is nothing for me to do during my church time... I don't want to miss any event in church...
Everything is God's... if the project fail, it is still within God's control... nothing to be complaint... as He is the Lord...
