wow.. it's been a long long time since my last blog.. :P hee.. I was too engrossed in the new Harry Potter book which my good friend had lent me. Took me a week's nite to finally finish the book and completed it last night.. Hmm.. a bit slow in reading.. sigh.. well.. I can try doing speed reading on the earlier books.. hahaha.. anyway, just some personal comments about the book and how I relate some parts of the book with the bible. I nearly cried after reading the end of the book that Dumbledore was killed!! ARGH!! Darn!! ok.. back to my topice before I start to go wandering, wondering.. Whenever I continue to read the book, I start to reflect back and to see how much Daddy God and Jesus have loved me. It has shed some light to me in certain manner.
I've always admired the creativity in J.K Rowling and her choice of words and sentences in the entire book. It has till now remained one of my favourite books and I'm looking forward to the last book (in which I heard so from my friends who also loved the story about Harry Potter). Whenever I start to read the book and also with the advice of my good friend, I will pray over.
It's not about magical words, magical potions or even Harry Potter that intrigue my interests to read on. There's a lot more to it. It's about love and how evil cannot overcome the world is because of love. There's a lot of emotions within. The greatest enemy of evil is love. HA! Anyway, though the book is not of the bible, I discovered that there are so many occasions that this book is talking about love, darkness, etc.. Something amuses me more is in this new book where I can find quite a few similarities to the bible and how Daddy God's and Jesus love are just like Harry Potter's parents' love for him. They sacrificed their lives to die so that he can live. His parents, esp his mother died out of her extreme love for her son, that nothing can strike her child as it is love that protected Harry Potter. Hey!! sounds familiar huh?? Jesus also died for me and His extreme Love for me that He died on the cross for me. It is His Love that protected me from the works of the devil. Hallelujah!! Jesus is so wonderful!!
Somewhere in the early chapter of the book where it says.. Lord Voldemort's word is law.. (this one has double meaning to me.. anyway, both interpretations are correct in the context..) okie.. now, this sounds like the devil.. The devil's words are law and he puts the Law into us to kill us. Interestingly, the life of this so-called Lord Voldemort is simply deprived of parental love and also his line heritage of evilness that moved him to dark side. That causes him to become the most evil wizard in the wizarding community and even the muggle (which actually means the non-wizarding community). During his younger days, he was actually a "gentleman" in his actions and words , but his heart is full of strife, hatred and evilness. Eh.. well.. doesn't look like the fruits of the heart. He is a very well-mannered person in his younger days but his words are placed to his own advantage in order to retrieve his own personal gain and knowledge.
Now, this is a real typical display of the hypocrisy in human beings. Be it Christians or not, everyone's in the flesh and we are weak whenever we are in the flesh.. A person can be "gracious", "loving" in his/her actions but not in his/her heart. Whatever is in the person's heart, it will show the person's character.
okie.. I will stop short of Harry Potter now.. Hee.. Now, I'm aiming for the next book to read and that is the chronicles of Narnia by Carl Lewis.. I'm waiting for the price to drop further before I buy.. :P I can't wait to lay my hands on that book!! Anyway, there's a show to be released at the end of December which is one of the books inside the chronicles of Narnia. That is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.. okie dokie.. time for me to do some quiet time before I set out for the day!! Have a blessed weekend and I'll be back!!
