Thank God today, guess it's something important that I learnt in NP open cell. Thank God for today's message that is shared, and the experience that Jasper and Wayne shared. (:
REally got blessed by what they shared, as brothers, and as family. (:
Aligning myself to Dad's vision, his dream and what he wants to do. I dunno why I need to do it, but most probably because it's a training, for the sons. (:
Following strictly, because being a leader, they have to follow the rules even more stricter. And hey if you are being scolded by Dad, thank God for it, because you are being considered as Dad's disciple, not a follower. The relationship make a difference. On the other hand, I am committed to this family. Thank God that I am in Dad's family. Other families, I guess I'm not suitable for other cells.

What could I say?
What could I do?
But offer this heart O God,
Completely to You.

Distractions from this world, certainly there is a lot, especially walking into society. This great gap of changing in my life, seems to be a challenge to me. I do have the will to choose this and that, but I'm still taking advices, dunno why. But I have always believed one thing, that everything is for my own good. As long as I am not dead, I will give thank to God. Even if I am dead, I will give thank to God. (:

“[The Children of Abraham] To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”- John 8:31-32

1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy hill?
2 He whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from his heart
3 and has no slander on his tongue,
who does his neighbor no wrong
and casts no slur on his fellowman,

4 who despises a vile man
but honors those who fear the LORD,
who keeps his oath
even when it hurts,

5 who lends his money without usury
and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things
will never be shaken.
Psalms 15

Don't you feel like going into God's sanctuary, or dwelling in His presence?

I thank God for Jesus. Yes, Jesus has died and resurrected. But He left something with us, that is Holy Spirit. Tearing the veil for us to seek Him.
David wanted that, but he was not given. God wanted to give us that, but how come some of us does not want it?
On the other hand, are you shining for Christ? Who can do all these?

No one, not even David. Yet, everyone should keep seeking, building relationship with Him and others, because it's a privilege.
Having brothers and sisters around are also a privilege.
But do we actually treasure them?
Or just a sunday-concern and monday-dunno thing?

He who does these things
will never be shaken.
Do look at a bigger picture of this verse. Why one will do it, when they love the people around, and protect them?
Because they are people who hold one thing that God taught them - Love, that had stemmed into them, deep. (:
So it's Love between the relationship of God and man, allows one to dwells in His presence, when the heart of the son turn to the father. (:

Praise God. (:
Thank God for everything.

Thank God for today. Just felt funny if I dun do my devotions, something lack in me.

2 The LORD looks down from heaven
on the sons of men
to see if there are any who understand,
any who seek God.
3 All have turned aside,
they have together become corrupt;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.
Psalms 14.

Not even David who does good, even he seeks His Heart. SAd to say.
So in the end, most of us know how to seek God, do not does good.

Stressed by life...?
Definitely.
Distracted by television at home, I finally know the reason why I can't really do my work at home. Haha. Stressed is on my neck. Why?
Work is placed in front of me, but the television keeps distracting me, for that 4 useful hours. My Laws and Ethnics should be finished by now, but I failed to do so. Disappointed with myself. The computer is at the living room, my daddy says so, that's why. (:

But whatever so, thank God. Night is certainly not the time I can work.
Guess I am supposed to finish my work at the library then.

well, Stress come and find me today.
Be God like, I am trying.
Be a good son of daddy, I am trying.
Be a good student, I am really trying hard.
Be a good brother, I am trying.
Be a good friend, I am trying.
Be someone who obey God's words, I am trying.
Enjoying my work, I am trying.
Be someone who speaks truth, and being "quarantined" by them, still loving them and forgiving them, I am trying.
Be someone who tries to change my tardiness, I am trying.

More and more coming up!

EVeryday trying my best to be very best.
But what did I gained in the end? Nothing.
CAtching up my work is a must. And other parts of my life, it's also a must.
Hard and I am struggling, but I will give thanks to God.

But the point of this is, I give thanks to God, trying my best to give thanks.

This grumbling has already marked me as no good, but I still seek Him.
why? Because He loved me, and I want to be the best out of Him. (:
Heart break, nevermind.
Body wear off, nevermind.
Mental breakdown, nevermind.
I have nothing, except this special gift of life, the very breath that He breathed into me.

Everyone has their own struggles. (:
But let us commit it onto His hands.

What is Christianity to me? Is it a religion or relationship?
A relationship, not as in flexible as a stone, fixed like laws. Rather, it is something like water, no fomr, but can be added back, and it will keep increasing, unless you drink it. (:

Is there a satisfaction limit for me to seek You, my Lord? - I asked myself
It's not always enough, and it will never be enough, my Lord. - and I answered myself XD
Maybe I should do my devotion before I started my work.
Whatever that is, Praise GOd. (:

After all these stuffs, something will come.

7 Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people,
let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

Thanks be to God who leads us in triumphial procession!
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord.
Let me set my eyes onto You, Hosanna in the Highest,
like the risen sun from the East lifted up high, contrasted out by light blue sky,
shining the golden rays onto me, like Your Glory shining into my eyes.

Praises onto You, my Heavenly Father. (:

Thank God for today. Just felt funny if I dun do my devotions, something lack in me.

I thank God today.
During cell, it reminded me about serving my heart and soul totally to Him, esepcially during devotions. And ya, my dear shawn didi, how's the prayer thing that you promised God that you will do, have you done it? (:

A lot of times, we want to be winners, and we kept running. But at the end of the day, do we actually run into the most safest place, that is into God's Arms? Or we are running too fast, to be a winner, and we miss God out?

I do, and I often kept running and meeting people and at the end of the day, I still need God to mould me and fill me. Breathing the air that He has breathed into me.

I found out today, even a relationship willl not work out, at least I am able to experience it, and at the end of the day, well, at least, I can learn and be a good boyfriend.
I want to be good boyfriend, that my girl will have fun, great romances with me, who is led by God and keeping the ourselves from sins. You see, I dun have any ex-girlfriend before, so I need some experience to be one. God can teach you, if you have one. (: A good husband and good father to my children. That is someone I want to be. Why?

Because at the end of the day, maybe I cant be a legend at the end of the day, but maybe I still can be a history maker for my girlfriend, my spouse and my children, in their hearts, telling them how God has changed me and the good things that God has used me to do for them, without any conditions, and it's all from Love. (:

How often we want the other partner to change, but things doesnt seem to work out, dun you think so? I finally understand, today that it's really God. Well, it's like I am the farmer, proclaiming His greatness and the necessities that He has blessed, and plant my vegetables. And the growth of my crops, left it to God, after I had believed Him and took the first step of trust, to hold onto Him.

MAybe there is a lot of "these" and "those" that distracted your life, but do have Him in your heart, knowing that it is Him.
Do you want to waste your time to give your best, even though you have to give it up?
Yes, I will. Like the sermons that Dad has given me, God is more interested in forming what we are than doing right will. A detour is God's will, sometimes. When all hell breaks loose, you maybe doing something right, but i hope I dun break loose. I just thank God for all the things that is in front of me. Maybe phrases and verses came to me, I still thank God,because He loves me, and never did He left me. (:
So do you give up on someone who is says no to church and does it griefs your heart? Certainly it does, for me and for the others.
But do we give them up? Nope.
Because

6 And the words of the LORD are flawless,
like silver refined in a furnace of clay,
purified seven times.
7 O LORD, you will keep us safe
and protect us from such people forever.

8 The wicked freely strut about
when what is vile is honored among men
Psalms 12: 6 to 8.

Silver is actually one of the best metals, so far. Purified seven times - represents victory, as the number of 7 represent victory.
After purifying 7 times, it should be at its purest state and able to reflect one's image, without stain.

Every word of the Lord, is pure, simple and reflective, and every word is its actions itself.
The Word of the Lord, carries victory in life.
And so, it makes His Words flawless - but why not perfect?
Because man is uncertain.
That's why David prayed that He will keep us safe, and David knows that the wicked will be roamed among men, if vile is honoured.

Do not allowed things that is unpleasant in the eyes of Lord, or things that displeased to be in His sight, otherwise the wicked in man will rise and snatch away your everything. Remember what the Lord has told you.
His Words are flawless, but your willingness make it perfect. (:

Remember, He is always watching you, loving you. (:

I thank God that I hav such a great freedom in today.

Was being scolded by lecturer for being late for class and presentation, but still thank God, because I did made it in time for my presentation. Got scolded by my friends, and lecturers, it is still good, wasn't it? (:
It's a great start for my day. I thank God for that. (:

Though quite tired, still thank God, till the end of day, when work and everything went well. I thank God that I received praises from customers yesterday. Then today, I received a lot of smiles today, providing the best service, not only for the outlet, but most importantly, for God, being very best in performing my stuffs. (: At the end of the day, managed to get some to eat, to drink at my workplace, because they knew me and allow me to secretly, keke. (:
Not leftover, but fresh from fridge and oven, sometimes. Thank God.

19 Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph;
let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Strike them with terror, O LORD;
let the nations know they are but men.
Selah
Psalms 9:19 to 20
18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.
Psalms 10: 18.

God reminded me of these verses, well I can say, I dun really understand.
Until now.

My first feeling is fear.
It tells us how great is our God.
Psalms 9 and 10 are supposed to be together, forming a psalm, rather than 2, in Hebrew.
Only one God. Putting down human's pride and strike them with His awe, and spreading the Word to the others, about defending the loved and weak ones in the heart of God.
He is the one who can TAKE IT ALL.
David called for Him in these few psalms, praising Him and asking for His Presence.
How do David felt when He was singing all these? Rested, assured, believed, trusted, alll emotions onto Him and David set his eyes upon Him.
Every psalm is something like a poem plus song, I think since David can do it, why not us do it too? (:
A king has no time to do it, I think we commoners, should have some. (:
anyway, praise God for all these. (:

Thank God for everything.

What's in your blood?

Thank God for today, that He told me and asked me, "where's the powerful and childlike-faith Jimmy?"
And Amazing Grace, speaks of it.

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
-Amazing Grace, Chris Tomlin.

My chains are gone and I been set free. It came to me, when I was reading Helen's devotions, speaks how much how an injection from skin, and the liquid went into the blood.
What's in my blood that is different from others?

Like what Shawn has written in his devotions "10 Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you." -Psalms 10:10.
During the day, I was sad because my heart didnt really feel God. But I dun need to, because the difference between me and the others, is the very original thing personality that I have placed on Him.

I dunno, maybe I have been doing things that is been too stable, or not been broken enough to allow God to mould me, and change me. I realised I can do a lot of things, but at the end of day, I will gained nothing, because all I have been doing, is Work Of God, but not enjoying the Spirit of God.

Savior of the world You came & chose me
You breathed into my world & gave me life
You are placed above all that I love
I live to praise You God
I give you more
I sing forevermore

So I sing, sing, sing
You know You’re the reason
I dance, dance, dance
You brought me this freedom
To show the world my life has been turned around.
‘Cos I can’t help shouting
I’ve seen how You’ve changed me
When I was lost
You came and You saved me
I lift my voice in praise for eternity

Forevermore I give You all the praise
I live to know You more
Forevermore I give You all I have and all I am

Have you ever wondered that how come this song, at the end of this song, it's kinda boring where the "sing sing sing" and "dance dance dance" part repeated and no climax??

I do find the song kinda boring at the ending part, it's repeated and the "sing" and "dance" part has reached its climax. But during choir practice, I thank God that I realised the greatness of this song. I was lethargy after dancing for 4 songs. Yes, I know last 2 years they had done more, but yup, as I felt the weariness of my body, I began to dance and sing, doesnt care much about my body, shouting praise and dance, and in my mind, I said to myself, I will dance until I dropped down. (: God's revelation came. (:
Won't you want to sing repeatedly and kept dancing for the Lord, every dance is better than the one previously? and every word that is sang repeatedly become a more and more powerful praise to Him?
God used the practice to teach me, greatly. Certainly, I am blessed. (:
Choir may seems to be a thing, but everytime, I believe, as long as I am willing to make an effort to be there or some place, where God is, God can teach me. (: Like what He has said, " for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you." - Psalms 10:10.
Well, no harm trying if you can afford the time and deliberately make a time out for Him, isn't that the case? He is able, WHEN YOU ARE AVAILABLE.

Well, if you missed that part, too bad for you! XD
Let us set our eyes upon Him. (:
I guess I have missed own part of myself, and the Devil tries to distracts me.
My very original personality, that is my child-like faith. Always trust in Him, and that actually makes my heart stays with Him. Who can make that?

And what's in your blood? (:
None other than Jesus. (:

Praise God. (:

Thank God for today. Have a great time with a female colleague. She was supposed to be with her friend, but at the end of the day, her friend went away to get Donut Factory. City hall one was closed and her friend ran to get from Suntec. Her friend was actually getting for his brother. cool. (: So nice to see brothers' love. (:
Today was a great day. Done with my 1 man CPR, 2 men CPR, infant CPR and choking scenerios for adults and infants.

First time attempt for 1 man CPR failed, but it got better and passed for the 2nd time.
2 men CPR , first attempt failed due to my counting and my speech, and my dear male friend was there suffering with me, and finally the second time I passed. I thank God that, my very dear male friend is a christian too, and he endured with me. (: Sweet. (:
And my the others stations for get my Basic Cardiac Learning Skills to pass, by first attempts and it's by God's grace, definitely. (:

I thank God, because I hav actually came back to my very original self, like a kid. Guess that is the best way for me to learn, and I am actually 20 years old this year, hard to accept, but yup, I will still prefer to be like a child, and a young kid. (:

2 From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise [b]
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger.
Psalms 8: 2.

And I was reading another side of my Bible, and the Lord showed me something. Matthew 2.
Those who stopped the childrens and infants from coming to God will die, and no place for the wicked.
Do not be the one who stopped others from coming to Christ.

Well, I felt like, myself is stopping me and maybe others getting towards Christ, and so He will kill me, my sinful self, to allow the others to follow Him. Thank God for it, was it? A death in myself to lead others to salvation. Destroy those who slowed down others' salvations towards Christ.


4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
Psalms 8: 4.

Why is Him and what is it in Him that we are and we become so concerned about Him? Why do I care for Him?
Because He is Our FAther, He cares for us, and we love Him.
True, He has done great thing, but after all, His Love has actually enough for us, anything in our lives! (:

Thank God for today! (:

Thank God for today and all and all.

I was blessed by Him, told that I need to improve on my friendship. Busy with my part time work, schoolwork after work, getting online, doing my work and devotions, and checking stuffs, that's all.

I'm certainly feeling dry inside, lack of friends, and losing most of the things in my life, except God's touch. Even things starts to turn around, why? Too much things on hand, still I thank God that I'm able to see that He's working, and wherever His Prescene will be, as long as I praise Him. Why is His Prescene there whenever I praise Him? I dunno. Still I Thank God He is always there for me, and yup, it just simply fills up my heart. (:

I begin to take steps to change my life, eevn in attitude of doing my work. I thank God that I can actually take up the responsibility for my BCLS, where I need to do CPR, after that passed, I can get a registered BCLS card, wee!

It seems to be simple, but controlling breathes and the strength of each chest compression was not easy. It's easy to be normal, but it's hard to be perfect, like Him. It's just simple to seek Him.

I thank God for Justin's devotions.
It's quite sometime, but still, I thank God, because I read it now, just in time. (:
"A double minded man is unstable in alll his ways." James 1:8
As I just begin to focus on God, I did realised a lot of changes in my life. More and more friends are being made, no more mental-like boundaries that I created for myself.
I confessed and I repented on my double-mindedness. It's all about Him. (:

14 He who is pregnant with evil
and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment.
15 He who digs a hole and scoops it out
falls into the pit he has made.

16 The trouble he causes recoils on himself;
his violence comes down on his own head.
Psalms 7: 14 to 16.
It comes to me that, it starts from us and it will end with us. Sounds like Karma though =//
Double mindedness, speaks how us wanted to hav the ways of ourselves, however it will not turn out the way it supposed to be, because it is not perfect, like God's way.

It wasn't a easy choice to choose to be single-minded towards Him, but I just believe Him,
and I trust in U, my Lord. (:
In my life, just before I typed this out, I wanted to walk out of Christianity, but what really holds me into this family is God, and my great families, especially the changes that in my life. (:
Temptation of the world is strong, but God is even stronger. (:

Well, isn't Him my Sheperd?
Praise God, in whatever and wherever I am! (:

Thank God for today's cell.
It's somehow affirming, and it gives a clear idea of what ways I should seek the Lord, asking for His presence, and yup, just simply trust in Him.

Do I doubt God?
Certainly. I was thinking about that when I was waiting for the bus to go Dad's house, and well, I just simply trust the Lord will provide everything.
These few days, been seeking the Lord and found out that somehow, my heart, my soul and mind were not there.

Oh, before continuing that, I am sorry that I am late for the cell, because I had a lunch plus dinner at my workplace. Had actually make it specially for my female colleague. She was released late, and I took a very long time for me to reach that place. Shouldn't have done that:/, but still praise the Lord, because I learnt something. :)

I thank God that I realised and understand one thing. You can try all ways to seek Him. But He had said that, when one praise Him, He will come. Well, I do believe, because after the Word that is released by Dad, I realised, how tense I am seeking and doing lots of things to seek Him, and it's only at the end of the day, it is actually calling Him and sharing of the joy, that then He will come. Certainly I have put quite number of sad face through the week, and lesser, when it comes to praise.

Still thank God for today Psalms.
11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
Psalms 5: 11 to 12.

How come those who loves His name will rejoice?
It came out from each individual's spirit. For it is written:
6Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba,[a] Father." 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
Galatians 4: 6 to 7.

Each of us has a part of Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in us is very sensitive to all things in the world. It's neither too hard nor too easy to identify the the Name of the Lord. IT's actually how sensitive are Holy SPirit inside to feel around. (:
The Holy spirit recognise the that it's our Father's name, thus we shall rejoice for we are being the heirs. Whatever He does now, it is a promise for us, as His heirs.
Does David has that?
I dunno, but it's always in David's spirit that God is a faithful God, even in times of doubts. (:

Praise God!

I always thank God for what I am.
A growing boy into man, from someone who cant express, to someone who can reflect upon actions and slightly able to express more clearer, as compared to the past.

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David
1 Answer me when I call to you,
O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
2 How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame [a] ?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods [b] ?
Selah
3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;
the LORD will hear when I call to him.

4 In your anger do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
Selah

5 Offer right sacrifices
and trust in the LORD.

6 Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?"
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.

7 You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.

8 I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety. - Psalms 4.

From this Psalm, it speaks from Our God's heart. As David sings, doesnt he thinks of what he has done wrongly to Him, and how much it hurt Him?
Even when we are going to sleep, do we actually search our hearts, judging ourselves, for what we know we have done wrongly, in the eyes of His?
Put what is in your heart, most importantly and have the most priority, give it to Christ.

Thank God for this and thank God for that, but at the end of the day, yes we are running strong as winners, but do we actually found ourselves in God's love? And falling in love our sweet and dearest Heavenly Father?
That is why, David said this:
7 You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety
For there's no greater love and peace, things from the Earth can actually replace anything from David's heart. For Him alone, and only Him, David can lie and sleep in peace, for He comforts David's restless and fitful heart to a peaceful sleep.

For me, I have to confess that, well, my Love for Him wasn't deep enough. I believe this is one of the best conviction I have ever get, so far. (: STill, praise God!

He who touches your heart, only yearns for your Love and good behaviour. (:

“He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”- Micah 6:8

Gratefully loving, or plainly loving Him, after you know He loves you? (:

Praise God. (:

It's been a few days after you started your Psalms reading?
Guess you should be at Psalms 2, while some may still stuck at someone. XD if you got what I mean.

Thank God for today.
There's always a sense of pride in me. I thank God for the Psalm 2 before food, because I almost forget to read it as I was hungry to get my lunch. Thank God my lecturers left the nursing laboratory late.

1 Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD
and against his Anointed One. [b]
3 "Let us break their chains," they say,
"and throw off their fetters."

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.

5 Then he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6 "I have installed my King [c]
on Zion, my holy hill."

7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD :
He said to me, "You are my Son [d] ;
today I have become your Father. [e]

8 Ask of me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.

9 You will rule them with an iron scepter [f] ;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery."

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

My worst fear in staying in my class, is about class politics, where people try to think each other thinking and plot how to win people over, attract people into small groups. It really happens.
I just hope I am thinking too much.
Well, because of pride, and sometimes I was felt in that situation, I was thinking, am I His Anointed One in my class? I was hoping the Lord was doing what was on verse 3 and 4.
But, hey wasn't there only one Anointed One? Then and there I realised my pride.
Still, I thank God, because I realised I am like one of the kings on earth.
Being acknowledge as His son, I realised I am protected against all the plots, whether is human or Satan's, He has became Our Father who looked over my life.
I thank God I can be different from them. Though sometimes, they ignored me and forget me in class, and whatever, I have inheritance and have given the privilege to have iron scepter.
The iron scepter is just like the Wisdom amd Knowledge of Christ, given to me so that I can break people's pride humbly.
LAst but not least, at the end of the day, I still must kept myself free from sins, in order not to displease Him or make Him angry. Why? Because I have sinned today and yesterday, towards the sight of flesh.
Thus, whenever I was again led to temptation, I shall seek Him as my refuge. (:

Thank God for today.
Thank God, that I can concentrate on the lecture all the way.
Thank God, that I can share with you all. (:
Praise God, that I have overcome some part of my sins. (:

2 Samuel 11.
David slept with Uriah's wife, and she was pregnant. David finds all way to kill his faithful servant. David done it but God was not pleased.

The Lord knows me well. (:
Distractions in my life, especially the weakest part in my life, relationship and lust. He knows a man, in no matter what circumstances, as long as it satisfy the heart and desire of man, a man will do it. To a man, what really satisfy them, is lust and relationship.
God was displeased with David, His Son, with sexual immorality and adultery.

This whole chapter speaks about me, very well. Seeking Him is the thing that we usually do, but often there are something that pop out in my life, to distract me and take me away. In this case, it's actually relationship. I thank God I am actually weak, that I am able to seek Him in desperate times, which we are supposed to do it all the time. Why are we supposed to do it this way?
Before God, who can give you a better idea and control your feelings, comfort you, to do all these? (:
I thank God that He used David to teach me about my life and in guiding me. I also want to thank Him, that He has always been so patient to me, everytime He is there, not to mention the others too. (:

Well, the story has not ended.
It's usually the desire of man let to undesired consequences, real bad consequences. But what can we actually do? Wrong already how?
Just seek Him and ask for forgiveness, and He will guide you. And do not commit adultery and sexual immorality. (:
Do not allow yourself to go into the first step of sins.
There are always distractions in life, but it's how strong that you will hold onto Lord, not only for better of yourself, but for Him. (: I dun want to short change myself and push away the blessings that He has promised me. (:
Do you know how God loves you? (:

Praise God!
And thank God for all the journey mercy yesterday and today. (:

Thank God for today.

Well, I thank God for what Pastor had shared today.
Serving the nations. Our church has indeed ministered to a lot of cell groups, churchs in our nations. That create open doors. But how are we going to make open doors to other countries, to hear the Gospel?

Holy Spirit reminded me about this verse. I have read it before. I dunno what does that meant, until now. (:
10All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. - Galatians 2: 10
The poor is certainly a way to open the door to other nations, not only to the churches.
That's the Word I received from God.
The year of Victory, had led me through a lot of victories in my life. In my studies, I began to put a the same amount of priority, just little lesser than family, and much lesser from God and His Works.
The year of Sabbath is indeed here, remaking and building of relationship, a time for us to endure, to win and to enjoy His peace and gladness, that is prepared for us. And now, I am awaiting for the Year of Jubilee.

26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 3: 26 to 29.
1What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2He is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3So also, when we were children, we were in slavery under the basic principles of the world. 4But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, 5to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. 6Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba,[a] Father." 7So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.
Galatians 4: 1 to 7

Heirs, promised to have the inheritance of Abraham. Everyone has it, God promised it. Everyone is equal, God promises it. But What's the difference this time, is Our Father in Heaven, God - Holy Spirit. To set us free, to bring us from salvations and tells us about the secret of God, and what is His plannings.
We are heirs of God, promises that are on the way here, but sometimes doesn't we asked, why is it not here yet?
We need Holy Spirit to tell us. (:
And I thank God that He has set me free, from the last thing on the very last day, that is relationship, again. (:


Thank God for everything.

Thank God for today, as I was seeking Him, how the debriefing should be done.
He asked me to read the Word, but before I seek Him and asked for a better way to become a better team leader, a better family member.

Seeking Him, is always the way seems to be right all the time, to improve ourselves and the relationship with Him.
Yet, this required very much of one's initiative.
What are the requirement for us to seek Him? As long as you are saved.

But when it comes to be a better team player, hardly anyone knows the rules, because everyone knows how to be a team player, but a better and even better one that always stick out helping hands, need to have something within themselves.

Is it possible for team players to become better?
Certainly, however they need to have self initiative, like how they seek the Lord.
"But why is it so necessary?" I asked Our Father in Heaven.

He showed me what am I thinking and reflections about what some of them has done during the meetings and the plannings of the event. I was actually finding all sort of reasons and the loopholes with their reasons provided, to eradicate their reasonings why they did not placed their priorities in this event. Well, I may seems to be empty on the spot and slow, I always thank God for the times where I meet Him privately, as Holy Spirit revealed the things to me. (:
Praise God.

Last thoughts came, when 12:30pm were coming. As a main organiser, do I have faults? Well, I do and I have a lot.
"So, who am I to say the others?", Holy Spirit asked me. He led me to back to my secondary school days, where my secondary 2 form teacher done it before she starts her lesson. A simple Icebreaker, that requires someone else to write about one's good/bad points. Everyone get to write one, and pass to someone next to him/her after finished.
She was new that time. Yup that is Cheryl Tan, and now guess she is Cheryl Goh, which is another story. (:

That was the point where I know, which areas of my life can change. Thank God for that game.(:
Well, that game, can be quite cruel, because of the facts that is so real, cold and hard. And the Lord, gave me these few verses.
3 "Prepare your shields, both large and small,
and march out for battle!
4 Harness the horses,
mount the steeds!
Take your positions
with helmets on!
Polish your spears,
put on your armor!
5 What do I see?
They are terrified,
they are retreating,
their warriors are defeated.
They flee in haste
without looking back,
and there is terror on every side,"
declares the LORD.

6 "The swift cannot flee
nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates
they stumble and fall.
Jeremiah 46:1 to 6.

How much does these verses say?
Nothing much - Just press in. Like a warrior of Light, eradicating the evil armies, till they nowhere found on the land, or at least they have at least withdrew themselves about 300 steps. It's like pursuing the army, till they are faraway from us, fear from us.
Some of us are trying to change our characteristics, some maybe still at the same point, while some still do not know where to start. But no matter where we are, the Lord affirmed us, that we are going to win soon. (:

The Lord told me, "affirm them, and lead them into this."
It also applied the same, as we are going to next year, press in and pursue our enemies till the ends of the world, erasing their existence.

It is okay without a common interest but it is not okay, without building a common interest, which most of the responsibilities lies on the team leader, and some on the members.
A good team player need to have guidelines and criterias to hang on to, obey to, and have to be taught how to be one too. Responsibility lies onto the one who give instruction - Team leader. What makes a powerful team player is self initiative - that speak the very same heart, way and attitude in seeking the Lord.

Thank God for everything. (:

Thank God for the great few days I had. It
It was a ministering night for me, yesterday.

These few weeks, my heart was hardened. It wasn't the way that it should be.
How do I know that?

It's very easy. (:

My temper flares, which should not be that case.
My self desire and self centredness rise, which should not be that case.
While reading the Word, I found myself, half understood this and half understood that.
Towards the works of the others, and do I have even hav empathy? No.
He has given me a Word - Sheperd. But how much do I understand by that? Little.

Where does the word "sheperd" came from?
It came from candy cane, a usual Christmas sugar treat.
Have you ever wonder where does it comes from? (:

It actually symbolized the humble sheperds in their fields near Bethlehem, who were the first to receive the news, "unto you a Saviour is born."
What amazed me, is this, I saw the cane represents something else, in the hospital! It represents the SHEPERDS who were still guarding their sheep at late night.
IT is simply amazing! MAybe it's time for me to eat some candy canes also. (: People made it because it represents Him, the Good Sheperd, a.k.a, Jesus Christ. Well, Our Father in Heaven is definitely sweeter than any candy. (:

I thank God yesterday, because after being ministered by Holy Spirit, and Our Father, I realised what it is talking in this passage. I have asked myself the whole day and been thinking about it. But none came till after the moment I am being ministered by Christ. (:

11See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!
12Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh. 14May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which[b] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is a new creation. 16Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule, even to the Israel of God.
Galatians 6:11 to 16.

I was like one of the Jews, asking others to be circumised, and looking good outwardly, trying my best to portray how Christ is in me,and showing others. Yes, something that is very true is that I am trying to run away from persecution of the Cross of Christ. And I hardly obey laws... but what's the Law?

14The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."[b]
Galatians 5: 14.

What makes this new creation, in Jesus Christ, new from the others? How does Peace and Mercy came, from a King who despised sins?
That is Love.
The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowlegde and wisdom, but the Love of His is the growing process and building block in us. (:
If God, One who despised sins, will you think peace and mercy will come as there is not love? Certainly not.
Through Love came grace, and this entitled Peace and Mercy. (:
Ultimately, hope, faith and love, the greatest of these three is still Love. (: If all not done in Love, it is considered nothing.

8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast.
Since this gift of God is no by works and no one can boast about it, let us praise God! (:

Thank God for everything. (:
