Have a Good Day!

Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain.

Just pray for a better umbrella........................That's attitude.

 

When flood comes, fish eat ants & when flood recedes, ants eat fish.

Only time matters............................................ Just hold on, God gives opportunity to everyone!

Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship.

It's not how we care in the beginning,...............but how much we care till the very end.

 

 

Some people always throw stones in your path.  It depends on you what you make with them. 



A Wall or a Bridge?........................................... Remember you are the architect of your life. 

 

Search for a beautiful heart, but don't search for a beautiful face

'coz beautiful things are not always good, ........ but good things are always beautiful.

 

It’s not important to hold all the good cards in life. 

but it’s important how well you play with the cards you hold.

 

Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end,

God smiles from above and says, `relax dear it’s just a bend, not the end.

Have Faith and have a successful life. 


One of the basic differences between God and humans is, God gives, gives and forgives.

but the human gets, gets, gets and forgets. 

 

 

 

Be thankful in life....

有一天 One Day

This song is forever in my 'Favourite' list of songs.

An encouragement to all of you when you feel down!

有一天，你若覺得失去勇氣，有一天，你若真的想放棄，
有一天，你若感覺沒人愛你，有一天，好像走到谷底。

那一天，你要振作你的心情，那一天，你要珍惜你自己，
那一天，不要忘記有人愛你，那一天，不要輕易說放棄。

這個世界真有一位上帝，祂愛你，祂願意幫助你，
茫茫人海雖然寂寞，祂愛能溫暖一切冷漠。
這個世界真有一位上帝，祂的雙手渴望緊緊擁抱你，
漫漫長夜陪你走過，祂愛你，伴你一生之久。

Dear God

Dear God,
I know You are there.
Eventhough I can't and never will see You, I know You are there.
For You are so full of glory, who am I,but a sinner to see Your holy face?

Dear Father,
Please heal our land, my land.Your people.
Your people need You.Need Your love.
Reveal Youself to these people.
That Your face may no longer be hidden from them.
Have mercy on us.
For not knowing the one and only true fact.
That You are the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
You will triumph and be glorified to the ends of the earth.
Forgive our sins.
Hear our prayer Lord.


Thank You for always being there for us.
Even when we can't feel You.
Even when we are blinded by the thick fog in front of our eyes.
Thank You for being our Lord.
Thank You for being my shelter.
A place I can run to, always, when no one else can comfort me the way You do.
Thank you for loving me and others, even when we don't deserve it.
Thank You for never failing me.

I love you, Lord.

NECF 40Days fast

The year 2011 40-days fast started since last Sunday.
It's an annually thing done by the NECF for all Malaysians to fast 40 days prior to Merdeka Day, so as to pray for our nation.
But then, this year they decided to do it before the Malaysia Day.
So it started a bit late.
And, you know what I decided to fast??
Facebook.
Firstly, I thought that I wouldn't be able to do it.
Because Facebook is like rice to me.
I have to log in everyday just to check n update fb.
But I'm so proud.
It's the 5th day today and ongoing, I have not succumbed to fb just yet.
Lord, give me strength to continue the fast.
So forgive me if I don't reply to anything on fb.


Well, my fast is a liltle different.
As in different from the normal'don't eat' fast.
Because I think fasting facebook is like more meaningful.
The main thing about Fasting is not about 'trying to experience the hunger and the pain of the underprivileged of third-world-country', nor is it about 'dieting' nor 'impressing God'.
Because fasting is for the sake of us, for us to spent more Quiet Time with God, for discipline.
When we fast, take me for example, the time used for facebook daily will be used to be with God instead.
That's why I say fasting FB is much more meaningful.
Before this, I didn't knew I could survive without facebook.
LOL.Like I have to log in FB every single day.
And like I said, It's already the 5th day of not Fb-ing.
SO it's kinda like a discipline.
That I put God first in front of other things.
So you see, fasting could be not just about food.
But other things that take up your time with God.
I think that is the real meaning behind it.=)
*peace*

Leaves of Life

Link

So frail is the youth and beauty of men,
Though they bloom and look gay like the rose;
But all our fond cares to preserve them is vain,
Time kills them as fast as he goes.
Then I'll not be proud of my youth nor my beauty,
Since both of them wither and fade;
But gain a good name by well doing my duty;
For this will scent like the rose when I'm dead.
--Isaac Watts.


My Lord and my strength, I pray that I may possess that expectancy which comes in joyous hope and have the endurance that is controlled by courage and energy. Grant in the future that I may be less concerned about my living and more anxious for what I make of my life. Amen.

I recently found this website www.christianity.com.

And I thank God that this website was found.

It offers so much information and cleared my doubts.

Really, it's a great website.

Both for christians and non-christians who want to know about christianity and the religion.

And I came across this little passage, under the topic: What is a Christian?

Written by I-don't-know-who.Sorry.

But what really touched me was this letter written by a guy named Cody to the writer.

Here;s what it says:

1-11-07

Mr. Pritchard,

My name is Cody. I'm currently in jail in Arizona. The last few years of my life have been very hard for me. I have been lost in addiction to methamphetamines and lost in a life of crime and sin. I recently picked up the Bible and have been trying to find my way to Christ. I'm 19 years old and really want to change my life. I believe the only way I will be successful is through my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I just (about ten minutes ago) finished reading An Anchor for the Soul. It was a very good book and answered a lot of my questions regarding Christ and how to go about accepting him into my heart. 

Before I picked up the Bible, I always wondered if I was "good enough" to go to heaven. Now I know that I am not. But thanks to God giving his one-and-only Son for my sins, I will go to heaven. I know this now, and I trust Christ will lead me there. I am no longer afraid of death because I know the Father will accept me.

Thank you and God bless!

Sincerely,
Cody

Really really inspiring and thought-provoking.

I nearly cried after reading it.

And I feel happy for that person.

It's like I wana go all over and give a big big hug right now.

I suddenly felt like I wanna go and talk to people like him.;D

People who are lost and hurt.

People who are aimless and tired of the worldly life they live in.

 I feel for these people.

But, I'm gonna commit all these into God's hand.

He's gonna do whatever He finds neccessary.

Right now, I'm gonna just focus on my study.

Sometimes though, I do wonder.

What is the purpose of my reading law??

Is it really to just get a degree, pass the CLP, earn money and grow up??

Then later marry, live a perfectly normal live and die??

Then what is the purpose of life??

I don't want to that.

I want to live my life knowing that I lived well as in I served my purpose on earth.

But what is it??what will I be doing in future??

I don't know.So far He has not reveal anything relevant to me yet.

All I get is short short liltle things.And I forgot all of them already.

The only one I remembered was that when I was in form 4,

this pastor and wife came.And one sentence she told me:

You are goingna be an example to other young people.

Then in form 5, I was the KM.

But I don't think that is the fullfillment of it.

Or rather, I don't wanna just stop there.

I know I'm still not good enough and I wana continue to grow and be much much better than I already am.

Then only I want that statement to come true.When I am good enough to be one.

Because right now, I'm still a work of clay with much dents and bents.

It's not there yet.I'm not gonna say I've been a good exmaple to other young people.

Whatever is it,I'm gonna leave it all to God.

May His will be done.

And here, something that all of you can read.

What is a Christian??

1) It begins with God and his choice of us.
2) It requires the true preaching of the gospel.
3) It leads to a heart-felt acceptance of Christ as Lord and Savior.
4) It results in a changed life that changes other lives.
5) It means that we go "all in" on Jesus. 

It starts with God.
It is based on truth of who Jesus really is.
It changes everything about my life.

It's not enough to be Baptist or Methodist or Lutheran or Catholic.
It's not enough to be American or Chinese or Greek or any other nationality.
It's not enough to be religious.
It's not enough to go to church.

Some interesting facts to consider:

1) The name "Christian" was not invented by early Christians. It was a name given to them by others.
2) Christians called themselves by different names—disciples, believers, brethren, saints, the elect, etc.
3) The term apparently had a negative meaning in the beginning: "those belonging to the Christ party."
4) It was a term of contempt or derision.
5) We can get a flavor for it if we take the word "Christ" and keep that pronunciation. You "Christ-ians." 
6) It literally means "Christ-followers." 
7) Over time a derogatory term became a positive designation. 
8) Occasionally you will hear someone spit the term out in the same way it was used in the beginning. "You Christians think you're the only ones going to heaven."
9) There was a sense of suffering and reproach attached to the word in the New Testament.

Before I start, something for you to laugh about.If you follow these instuctions:

‎1. Go to google
2. Search for "top 50 women on the internet"
3. Select the 1st link
4. Look at Number 7
5. Laugh hard!!!

So I had a lotta thoughts lately.

Namely about my choice of future.

You know, when I applied for all the government scholarships last 2 month?

And I was hoping and hoping but didnt get???

And I was so frustrated then.

It's like I could just lash out and scold God if God was there, as in human form.

Then I reapplied, but till now, no news yet.

So I guess I'll be in Brickfields forever.

I mean till I graduate.

But I found out something else,

that what I want may not be what God has in mind.

And I think, I believe that BAC is THE place for me.

lol. I don't know how to explain.

I don't enjoy dao like really heaven style.

But it wasn't realy that stressful.

Eventho I had to take public transport to n fro, 

eventho the place is famous for it's 'acid-attacks ',

but up till now I've been quite safe.

And I had enough time to get closer to God,

time to study and play, 

to online n watch Korean dramas,

to exercise n swim.

Yeah, I realized all that as of today.

And I found answers while reading Luke today.

My moral teacher was asking, since Jesus was born in New testament, does that mean He isn't present in Old testament?How could a God be born just like that?

And she resorted to saying, In Islam, bla blabla..

And I asked around but only found satisfying answers today.

In Luke 20:42,(David's psalm)

The LORD(God)said to my Lord(Jesus).

Jesus was there when David was alive, which means Jesus was there all the while.

Sorry nonbelievers, guess you wouldn't understand what I mean.

But it's just something I acknowledge.

And it's kinda for Breena too.Hehe..

It's not correcting you, Breena, it's sharing. LOL

I got a better understanding of the concept of afterlife too.

Which is part of my moral project also.

In Luke 20: 34-38.

Heaven would be so different from earth.

a)Marriage does not occur there.

b)We will not die anymore.

c)we will be similar to angels and are sons of God.

I feel so great.Getting all the answers needed.

Cheers!!!=)

Morning Prayer

Dear Lord, I thank you for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. 

Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.

Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God. 

And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. 

Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those who will delete this without sharing it w ith others. I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe. 

I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. 

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.. 

This is my prayer.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

In the Desert

This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is a God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've recieved I will sow

Don't just read.Understand it.

You know what I like so much about this song?

Every word written meant a lot.

To me.It felt so true.

gives me my oopmh when I need it.

Yes, I will bring praise.

And I have a reason to sing and praise You.

Because You are always there.

And You never fail me.

Refine me Lord through the flames.

You take care of everything.

So right now, I'm lifting my hurt and pain to You.

Because triumph is on its way.

Got this on the mail..Thought of sharing with you guys.=D

Court Date:

  
After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the end. 

The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting
room of what I thought to be a court house.

The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor.'

He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. 

He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen. 

I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney,
a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed 
so familiar to me, 
 I felt I knew Him. 

The corner door 
flew open 
and there appeared the Judge in full
flowing robes. 
He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room, I couldn't take my eyes off of Him. 

As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.' 

The prosecutor rose and said,
'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this person
belongs in hell.' 

He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and in the past when I cheated others, Satan told of other horrible
Perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the
further down in my seat I sank. 

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely
forgotten about.

As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not Offering any form of defense at all. 

 

I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?

 

Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This person belongs in hell,
is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person
who can prove otherwise.' 
  
When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. 
  
The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan,
and beckoned Him to come forward. 

As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in
His full splendor and majesty. 

I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing  me, 
my Lord and my Savior. 

He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'Hi,
Dad,' and then He turned to address the court. 

'Satan was correct in saying that this person has sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. 

And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this person deserves to be
punished. 

Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with
outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so
that this person might have eternal life and 
 has accepted Me as Savior, so this person is Mine.' 

My Lord continued with, 'This person's name is written in the Book of Life, and no one can snatch this one from Me. 

Satan still does not understand yet. This person is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.' 

As Jesus sat down,
He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said, 'There is nothing else that needs to be done.'
'I've done it all.'

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down.
The following words bellowed from His lips..

'This person is free.'

'The penalty has already been paid in full.'

'Case dismissed.'

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving,
'I won't give up, I will win the next one.'  I asked Jesus 
as He gave me 
my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?' 

Christ lovingly smiled and said,

'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, 
~Paid In Full~'
