First fruit and Grace.
What's the connection?

I thank God for today's of an special wedding. One taught me some things about relationship, while the other cover what the first one has taught me, and taught me in SOL. They are special, they are like parents to me.

Well, today's wedding, I do see how much God is in their lives, maybe not too much, but I do really see a big part of their lives are committed to God, believe to God and trust that God is their all.
Main priority = God, in their lives.
So, whatever that is conceived from their minds and faith, first thing that came to their minds was God. That part of their lives are real testimonies for others, even for me.
Through their marriage, it makes it clear to me, during the route of marriage, everything is being tested, whether the male or the female is being tested, they are all prepared by God before they are put together, to go forth, onto a relationship, courtship and then into marriage.

EVery thoughts, feelings, problems that came out probe to them, they will put it onto the Lord.
First fruits, that came from mind and heart, they will present to God.

Why God is so pleased to have fruits that firstly bear, either by plants or animals?
Because it's a sign that we honour Him, and placing Him as the first priority.
Thank God for today, even though I lost my ezlink and my idenfication card, I thank God about what He used Terence has told me, that we should not take grace for granted. I thank God because He tells me, it's alway by God's grace that I am able to get back my wallet, my belongings at the end of the day. Why??

It's all because of Him. :)
That is why, I can get back my stuffs, every card that I have, I didnt lose it. And everytime, my belongings managed to get back to me, safely, all cards are still in one piece.

So when my thoughts about returning those lost items, well, I have to pray hard.

9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Galatians 1:9

Just believe what is written on the book, simply. :)
Thank God, He told me that. :)

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”- John 15:5,8

As today's sermons talked about Holy Spirit, I thanked God for that and, I confessed that I fell asleep several times, at least once.

But today's message are towards one's spiritual side, about how Holy Spirit touches us, and the next thing is, how close is your relationship with God and willingness.

I thank God that I was able to see that He is a person during that time, I know of Holy Spirit, and it brings me more understanding towards others.

I can actually see that, as I reaches towards Him with desire, one can look beyond what is on earth, understand themselves even more, and be sensitive to all other things.
Sort of ownself jump out from own body and view things in others' shoes.

Thank God for today, because I didn't got my pay and my brother, he came today.
I thank God that I didnt got my pay because, I tends to overspend my money. So well, I have to look well on my pocket.
I thank God that my brother came today, because I have been praying for his salvation. Maybe he has not rededicated his life yet, but it has actually bring him out from the most negative side towards Christ a bit more.
Thank God for that.

9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Galatians 1:9.

Being FAther's son, I do have the fear and scare that I followed the world.
What does "preaching other gospel other than Christ?"
Doing things that we shouldn't be doing, and others, especially giving out the wrong message about Christ.

Be careful. Whenever you want to preach, do put across what it is and clearly to others.

Praise God. :)
And thank God for my everything, so far.

I'm following the son.
He's the Holy One, let Your Will be done,
I give it all to You.
