2010-12-20T16:33:00.003+08:00

read this story many times, but everytime, it still brought tears to my eyes...

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet.

She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even.. The total had to be exactly perfect... No chance here for mistakes..

Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention, but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter.. That did it!

'And what do you want?' the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages,' he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
'Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,' Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone.. 'He's really, really sick....and I want to buy a miracle.'

'I beg your pardon?' said the pharmacist.

'His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?'

'We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you,' the pharmacist said, softening a little.

'Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.'

The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, 'What kind of a miracle does your brother need?'

' I don't know,' Tess replied with her eyes welling up. I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an
operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money..'

'How much do you have?' asked the man from Chicago .

'One dollar and eleven cents,' Tess answered barely audible.
'And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.'

'Well, what a coincidence,' smiled the man. 'A dollar and eleven cents---the exact price of a miracle for little brothers.'

He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said 'Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you need.'
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.

'That surgery,' her Mom whispered.. 'was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?'

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...one dollar and eleven cents...plus the faith of a little child.

Life Will Test You (2)

Sunday, 19 December 2010

'...God has come to test you...' Exodus 20:20 NKJV

God told His people: '...the Lord your God led you...these forty years in the wilderness, to...test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not' (Deuteronomy 8:2 NKJV). The tests of life reveal how well you take instruction, what you've learned, and what you'll do in any given set of circumstances. What you've been taught is only theory, until it's been tested. And life will test you!

Chuck Swindoll tells the story of a bird named Chippy: 'Chippy the parakeet never saw

coming. One second he was peacefully perched in his cage singing, the next he was sucked in, washed up, and blown over. His problem began when his owner decided to clean his cage with a vacuum. She stuck the nozzle in to suck up the seeds and feathers at the bottom of the cage. Then the phone rang. Instinctively she turned to pick it up. She'd barely said 'hello' when–sswwwwPPPPP! Chippy got sucked in. She gasped, let the phone drop, and snapped off the vacuum. With her heart in her mouth, she unzipped the bag. There was Chippy–alive, but stunned–covered with heavy black dust. She grabbed him and rushed to the bathtub, turned on the tap full blast and held Chippy under a torrent of ice-cold water, power-washing him clean. Then she did what any compassionate pet owner would do: she snatched up the hairdryer and blasted the wet, shivering little bird with hot air.' Swindoll closes his story with these words: 'Chippy doesn't sing much any more.'

Life will test you, but don't let it steal your song!

Australia says NO - Second Time she has done this !
AMAZING You must read it !!!!

She's done it again..

She sure isn't backing down on her hard line stance and one has to appreciate her belief in the rights of her native countrymen..

A breath of fresh air to see someone lead. I wish some leaders would step up in Canada & USA .

Australian Prime Minister does it again!!

This woman should be appointed Queen of the World.. Truer words have never been spoken.

It took a lot of courage for this woman to speak what shehad to say for the world to hear. The retribution could be phenomenal, but at least she was willing to take a stand onher and Australia 's beliefs.

The whole world needs a leader like this!

Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..

Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote:

'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.. Take It Or Leave It.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'

'Most Australians (but not me) believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

effort? speed?

2010-12-14T10:06:00.002+08:00

"Effort without knowledge is like speed without direction."

how will it be like to have...

hard work without purpose?

wholehearted work without goal?

if we've what's essential, but don't have what's crucial, it will not land us in good place...

think wisely...

work hard, but with wisdom...

put in effort, do a wholehearted work, but with a direction and purpose!

What a man brings to marriage - by Cliff Young

2010-12-10T10:34:00.001+08:00

We often focus on what we will get out of a marriage relationship: Is this person my soul mate? Does she speak to me? Does she affirm me? Do her strengths compliment me? And so forth.

Perhaps it's time to start focusing on what we men canbring to a marriage relationship and to start working on these areas right now in our lives, so that we will have something to bring to the table (a man's dowry, if you will) before making a lifelong commitment.

"It is painful, being a man, to have to assert the privilege, or the burden, which Christianity lays upon my own sex. I am crushingly aware of how inadequate most of us are, on our actual and historical individualities, to fill the place prepared for us."

-- C.S. Lewis from God in the Dock

As men, we are expected (by society) to be cool, dress fashionably, make a lot of money, drive a sports car, have chiseled looks, and have it all together in order to be "marriage material." As Christians, we are to be God-fearing, prayerful, seminary scholars on the path to eldership within our church. Since most of us fall short of these so-called expectations, what can we do to bring the most to our marriages and where do we start? We can begin by delving deep into the following passage.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25).

How did Christ actually love the church? Simply put, through sacrificial and sanctifying love.

Sacrificial Love

As a single adult, the term sacrificial is not at the forefront of my thoughts. My day usually revolves around me, my needs, my wants and my desires. However, for me to prepare to be the best husband I can be, I must begin now to incorporate sacrificial thinking into my daily life.

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh (Ephesians 5:31).

Jesus so loved the church that he gave himself up for herthrough his death. If we are to love our wives someday as Christ loved the church, we must be prepared to die to ourselves in many ways that are a part of our everyday lives. As two people become one, individual freedom, time and desires should be replaced with (or at least negotiated) with marital goals, obligations and activities.

Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? (Acts 9:4).

Persecution of the church caused pain deep within Jesus' soul as indicated by His response to Saul. Christ choseto suffer with His bride; husbands must be willing to share in the struggles of theirs. It is not only a commitment, but also a sign of love. Her problems, disappointments and losses become yours; mine and hers become ours.

I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them (John 17:9-10).

Jesus spent His time on earth, including his last moments, praying for Himself, for those closest to Him and for the church. One of the most intimate things a couple can do is to pray together. It would only follow that one of the most precious acts that a husband can do for his wife is to pray specifically for her. Don't just make it a "dinner time" prayer, go off each day and fervently cover your future wife in all areas of her life. If you are currently in a relationship, ask how you can pray for her and do it.

I don't know what it will be like to be married someday, but after all of my years of living single, I recognize that I will need to die to myself in many areas of my life, be prepared to share in both the triumphs and the struggles of my wife, and pray fervently for and with my future mate.

Sanctifying Love

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word (Ephesians 5:25-26).

Marriage under Christ is a relationship that will bring two individuals closer to Him and cause both to change for the better, making each more holy. It is the responsibility of the man within a marriage to help lead the couple closer to holiness, towards sanctification.

The head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God (1 Corinthians 11:3).

Today, we have a mixed message of what true leadership is. Is a leader someone who scores a basket or a touchdown and beats his chest drawing attention to himself? Is a leader a politician who uses their position not to serve but to self-serve? Was Adam, our first male role model, a leader by following his wife into sin instead of standing up for what he knew was wrong?

The movie We Were Soldiers, starring Mel Gibson, depicted the life of Lt Col Hal Moore during his service in the Vietnam War. His motto was, "We will all come home together." His men fought for and alongside him so diligently because he led with integrity, by example, and with love. That is true leadership.

To be that kind of leader, who leads a marriage closer to sanctification, we (men) must first place ourselves under the Lordship and authority of God. Only through our relationship with Him can we learn how to live out His Word in our heart, exemplify His Word in our actions and follow His Word in how we love, which will all lead to holiness.

Lead with Integrity

For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health...till death do us part.

-- Common wedding vows

With the divorce rate hovering around 50%, I often wonder what happens to these vows that are made when a couple says, "I do." A wedding is one of the few times in life where a person makes a public vow in front of God and witnesses, and chooses to enter into a commitment of marriage based upon love, not feelings.

Love your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (Matthew 22:37).
Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you (Hebrew 13:5).
Do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony (Matthew 19:18).
Keep the oaths you have made to the Lord (Matthew 5:33).

Leading with integrity in a marriage means memorizing and living out verses like these. If we truly love God and love others according to Scripture, we will honor our commitments and God's commandments will live deep within our soul. When we reach that point, we will lead our marriages with integrity, grow closer to God and to each other.

Lead by Example

In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing, so that no one can speak a word of blame against you. You are to live clean, innocent lives as children of God in a dark world full of crooked and perverse people. Let your lives shine brightly before them (Philippians 2:14-15).

When God returned to the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Life (Genesis 3:8-20), he called to Adam and asked, "Did you eat fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat?" His response was not that of someone who was leading by example. Adam's first words were, "You gave this woman to me..." God calls us to take responsibility for our actions, confess our wrongdoing, and repent.

Marriages need that kind of a leader, one who is willing to admit his wrong and one who is leading under the Lordship and guidance of the Lord. Leading by example doesn't mean bringing attention to your achievements or telling others what they should be doing. A husband can pray in solitude, help his wife without asking, spend time with the children, and show love to his wife through his actions. Whether married or not, we can all lead by example.

Lead with Love

Love is patient, love is kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).

I have heard these words spoken at almost every wedding ceremony that I have been a part of and I wonder if anyone really considers what this verse is saying. Love is patient affects almost every other emotion or reaction in a relationship.

A patient person is less likely to be jealous, boastful, proud or rude
A patient person is probably less demanding
A patient person is probably more forgiving and understanding.
A patient person is more likely to listen first before reacting (and not react emotionally)
A patient person is more likely to wait on God

If love is patient, then patience is probably one of the most important traits a leader can have, especially if he wants to lead with love.

Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it....In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they love their own bodies. The man who loves his wife loves himself. No one ever hates his own body, but feeds and takes care of it. And that is what Christ does for the church (Ephesians 5:25, 28-30).

Jesus' message for us is clear. We are to love our (future) wives as He loved the church, in a sacrificial and sanctifying way; we are to love her like we love ourselves. It seems simple enough and it can be if we learn to take our eyes off of us and our personal desires. If we place our eyes on the Lord, we will learn to live more sacrificially with our lives, our time and our prayers. As we do, our lives will become an example of integrity and love to others. This is what we can bring to a marriage.

So men, besides that ugly chair you can't get rid of, what are you bringing to a marriage?

Narnia.. great movie of the century.

Are You Too B-U-S-Y?

Thursday, 2 December 2010

'...that Satan might not outwit us...' 2 Corinthians 2:11 NIV

Addressing a worldwide convention of demons, Satan told them: 'As long as Christians stay close to God we've no power over them, so:
(1) Keep them busy with non-essentials.
(2) Tempt them to overspend and go into debt.
(3) Make them work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles.
(4) Discourage them from spending family time, for when homes disintegrate there's no refuge from work.
(5) Overstimulate their minds with television and computers so that they can't hear God speaking to them.
(6) Fill their coffee tables and nightstands with newspapers and magazines so they've no time for Bible reading.
(7) Flood their letter boxes with sweepstakes, promotions and get-rich-quick schemes; keep them chasing material things.
(8) Put glamorous models on TV and on magazine covers to keep them focused on outward appearances; that way they'll be dissatisfied with themselves and their mates.
(9) Make sure couples are too exhausted for physical intimacy; that way they'll be tempted to look elsewhere.
(10) Emphasise Santa and the Easter Bunny; that way you'll divert them from the real meaning of the holidays.
(11) Involve them in 'good' causes so they won't have any time for 'eternal' ones.
(12) Make them self-sufficient. Keep them so busy working in their own strength that they'll never know the joy of God's power working through them. Do these twelve things faithfully. I promise–it'll work!'

Have you figured out the difference between being busy and being successful in what God's called you to do? Sometimes being B-U-S-Y just means Being Under Satan's Yoke!

董事長說，我有個要求，你今天回家，給你母 親洗一次雙手，明天上午你再來見我。

The director said, I had a request, when you go back today, go and help to clean your mother's hand, and then see me tomorrow morning.

該青年覺得自己成功的可能很大，回到家後，高高興興地要給母親洗手，母親受寵若驚地把手伸給孩子。

The youth felt that its chance of landing the job is high, when he went back, he happily wanted to clean his mother's hand, his mother feel strange, happy but mixed with fear, she showed her hand to the kid.

該 青年給母親洗著手，漸漸地，眼淚掉下來了，因為他第一次發現，他母親的雙手都是老繭，有個傷口在碰到水時還疼得發抖。

The youth cleaned his mother's hand slowly, his tear drop down as he did that. It is first time he found his mother's hand is so wrinkled, and there are so many bruises in her hand. Some bruises incites pains so strong that shiver her mother's body when cleaned with water.

青年第一次體會到，母親就是 每天用這雙有傷口的手洗衣服為他付學費，母親的這雙手就是他今天畢業的代價。

This is the first time the youth realized and experienced that it is this pair of hand that washed the cloth everyday to earn him the school fees, the bruises in the mother's hand is the price that the mother paid for his graduation and academic excellence and probably his future.

該青年回答說，我給母親洗完手之後， 我幫母親把剩下的衣服都洗了。

The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'

董事長說，請你告訴我你的感受。

The director asked, " please tell me your feeling."

和母親一起勞動，才會知道母親的辛苦。第三，我懂得了家庭親情的可貴

The youth said, Number 1, I knew what is appreciation, without my mother, there would not the successful me today.

這位青年後來果真工作努力，深得職工擁護，員工也都努力工作，整個公司業績大幅成長。

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates, every employees worked diligently and in a team, the company's result improved tremendously.

假如一位孩子從小嬌生慣養，習 慣了被人圍著寵著，什麼都是“我”第一，父母的辛苦都不知道，上班後，以為同事都應該聽他的，當了經理後，不知道員工的辛苦，還要怨天尤人。這樣的人，會有好的學校成績，會有得意風光的一時，但社會上的這類人，都不能成大事，都不會感覺到幸福，都要跌跟鬥，那父母是愛孩子呢還是害孩子呢？

A child who has been protected and habitually given whatever he did, he developed "entitlement mentality" and always put himself first. He is ignorance of his parent's effort. When he started work, he assumed every people must listen to him, and when he became a manager, he would never know how suffering his employee and always blame others. For this kind of people, he can have good result, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel sense of achievement, he will grumble and full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parent, did we love the kid or destroy the kid?

你可以讓你的孩子住 大房子，吃大餐，學鋼琴，看大屏電視，但你在割草時，也要讓你的孩子在大太陽下拔拔野草，你在吃飯後，也要讓你的孩子洗洗碗，不是你沒有錢雇人，而是你真心愛孩子。你要讓孩子知道，即使父母掙不少錢，但早早的白髮，和那位洗衣服的母親沒有本質的差別。但更重要的是，要讓你的孩子學會感恩。

You can let your kid lived in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experienced it. After a meal, let them washed their plate and bowl together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parent are, one day their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learn how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learn the ability to work with others to get thing done.

It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

LOVE = DYING TO SELF

2010-10-13T14:22:00.003+08:00

What is love?

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

When you LOVE, you'll be willing to DIE.

When you LOVE a person, you'll place that person as more important than your own life. If he/she is in danger, you'll go all out to save them. Willing to even risk your life.

When we're willing to die for a person because we love him/her, what else can't we let go for their sake?

Letting go of my personal preference for his/her preference...

Letting go of my desire for his/her desire...

LOVE is not just about receiving and getting all you want... LOVE is dying to yourself... seeing that person as the most important ONE in your life ;)

10.10.10 - a very special day to remember...

2010-10-12T13:50:00.003+08:00

my "commissioning service" + a new journey begins...

thanks for family members who came to support and witness our special moment ;)

Jeremiah 5:22 - VV

2010-10-06T12:25:00.004+08:00

the vast ocean and the roaring waves bow and submit in humble reverence before the Lord... who are we to stand up tall and mighty, with no fear or reverence before the Creator God?

--- Vivien's version of Jeremiah 5:22... :P

what's the actual verse? haha

"Should you not fear me?" declares the LORD.
"Should you not tremble in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
they may roar, but they cannot cross it.

felt that all nature know who is God...

they obeyed Him... the natural laws that He has placed in their hearts...

What about man?

Where is the laws that He has placed in our hearts?

Where is conscience?

Where is justice?

Where is mercy?

Where is integrity?

Where is honesty?

Where is love?

30 days LOVE CHALLENGE - what i learnt?

2010-10-05T12:47:00.003+08:00

so, 30 days passed... today as i see the cleaner ladies and security guard, we exchange greeting and engage in some chats...

i've learnt to put others before me...

Philippians 2:3 -- Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

in all this, i can see that my mindset is changing... it's all a lifestyle... we live a life of sharing and caring... when we have that mindset, our behaviours and attitude will be aligned to share and care.

let's live to care & share ;)

2010-09-17T13:50:00.003+08:00

wow... many days didn't update my blog and didn't jot down what I did... sometimes, it's just a small little act of love... can't seem to recall now... haha

day 10 - it's the 2nd day of Hari Raya... greeted the toll attendant "SELAMAT HARI RAYA"... he was in his full baju melayu, complete with songkok... yet has to work instead of celebrating HARI RAYA with his family... God bless you brother!

day 11 - 13 --- amnesia... can't recall.... hahahaha -- did I say a good word to my family? greeted my neighbour? hold the lift for someone?

day 14 - served the speakers --- attended a conference, during the break time of the workshop, the 2 speakers were discussing for the next session, so I brought them their refreshment and served them with a drink ;)

day 15 - after the NECF Malaysia Day celebration, went to mamak... the waiter is a foreign worker, probably from bangladesh... he looked so tired, asked him, "You look very tired, are you ok?"... he smiled but didn't answer. every time he walked pass my table, i smile at him ;)

day 16 - it's MALAYSIA DAY, but I've a conference to attend. At night, there's a first time gathering at 12 midnight for the restaurant workers... those who work in restaurant can hardly go to church due to their long working hours and working on Sunday... so we're bringing the church to them, at a time that suits their schedule... after 1 whole week of conference, I would prefer to sleep early that night... however, since this is the first gathering, I gotta go to witness this breakthrough, I gotta go and help out in whatever way I can... so I went!!! God is great!! We had a great time ;) Arrived home around 2am. Still have to work the next day... now got headache... seem like a big hammer is pounding on my head... haha... but it's worth it! Praise theLord!

eating out???

2010-09-15T15:09:00.003+08:00

would like to share something with you which I heard of this morning, realised that i need to change my attitude... haha

hv u been eating out regularly? when we go outside for a meal, we pay for the food and expect good food & good service... have we ever took note of the people serving us?

today i was told those working in food industry (restaurant, hawkers etc)... they work 8 - 12 hours a day... not enough rest, no time to spend with family especially children (what will their children grow up to be like?), no holiday (they've restricted off day, who can spend a holiday with them?), not much friend (too tied up with working, long hours)... they are segregated from normal community life, waking up early morning to prepare the food to serve us... the list can go on & on & on & on...
are we just expect to be served well because we pay the money & neglected that they carried their heavy burdens, frustration, exhaustion, family problems...

whatever it is, as we're called to LOVE GOD, LOVE MAN...
can we change our attitude the next time we go out for a meal? be nice to whoever is serving us... as we say grace, bless those who serve us... say thank you to them... smile to them... talk to them... befriend them... care for them ;)

(come to think of this, must also say thank you to our mum who has been cooking for us day in & day out.. can't take things for granted. it's not their duty to serve us... they served out of love for us)

what a long sharing haha...
starting from us, let's make a difference everything we out for a meal...
let there be Christ's love in every eating place ;)
let there be joy in every eating place ;)

Day 8 - LOVE CHALLENGE

2010-09-09T16:19:00.003+08:00

ever find yourself running high & low, working with so many hands (the most 2 hands only ma... haha), eyes busy looking at the compute screen, yet at the same time have to attend to so many things...

have been working in this mode since this morning, at times, i just have to spend a few seconds to recall what do I have to do now, simultaneously with the current task...

suddenly, I was called to help minister to a lady... well, the most it should only take me 10 - 15 minutes, i thought...

so we prayed and minister for the lady... so much bitterness, hurt, unforgiveness... as I was ministering to her, my eyes kept glancing at the clock... 10 minutes passed, 20 minutes... by this time, I began to think whether I will be able to complete my work for today...

then, looking at the lady before me... I told the Lord, "at this moment, nothing is more important than seeing this lady be set free, and seeing her smile again"... so I turned my eyes off the clock, turn my heart off my "to-do-list"...

50 minutes passed... she smiled and said "thank you".

what a joy!

did I get to finish my work? no... have something else to do at night... so will have to work harder tomorrow ;)

Day 6, 7 - LOVE CHALLENGE

2010-09-08T12:22:00.004+08:00

day 6 - i was asked whether I can help out in certain areas in next week's conference, i said YES ;) [yes, meaning have to start doing things now... haha]

day 7

* gave a birthday treat to a friend ;)

* prayed for an organisation headed by a Christian leader, prayed for its management - to be the salt and light & influence to the entire organisation & community ;)

PIRANHA!! -did you hear the emergency call?

2010-09-06T18:26:00.003+08:00

it's a bloody & scary movie...

but one thing that really capture our hearts is the people ignorance of danger, ignorance of loosing their life...

at one point, the marine officer sounded the emergency alarm and asked all the people to leave the lake... but they were heart-hardened, and continued with their party, fun, lusts, pleasure...

sound familiar?

when Noah told the people that there will be great flood, the people ignored Noah and continued with their eating & drinking & enjoying life...

what happened next? packs of piranha strike!!!! many died!!! even the innocents, the marine police who tried to get the people out of the water, sacrificed their life to safe these stubborn, hard-hearted people!

how many have heard that Jesus is the only way to heaven, Jesus's death on the cross redeemed us from sins and give us eternal life?

how many have heard and yet ignore it?

do we want to wait till it is too late?

what a heart-wrenching scene. what a bloody scene.

Lord, open our eyes to see, open our ears to listen to You - the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE!

Day 3, 4, 5 - LOVE CHALLENGE

2010-09-06T17:55:00.004+08:00

didn't update for the last few days ya... here it is ;)

day 3 - didn't really do anything prominent...

still greeting people "intentionally"... but it isn't the "challenge" for today hahaha...

day 4 - BR ice-cream + CHANGE YOUR WORLD

* shared my one pint of favourite BR ice-cream together with Rick, mum & dad... everyone got a few small scoop la... hahahaha.... (should have just keep it all to myself... hahahaha)

* in the evening, spent 4 hours at CHANGE YOUR WORLD! could have just rest a home... but somehow bought the ticket to support the cause, went there!

not only that, even helped winson to fetch some students to Sunway Pyramid!! (if not, I will make arrangement so that I don't have to drive lor... or at least, don't have to drive so far)

oo... what a big sacrifice... hahahahaha

day 5 - spend 6 hours attending Nation Building Talk

* wouldn't it be wonderful to spend 6 hours resting, relaxing, makaning, shopping, watching movie... lots of things could be done in 6 hours. But I choose to attend the Nation Building Talk. Why? Because I wanted to know my part in Malaysia's Transformation. Don't just talk, but know more and put it into action!!

MAKE OUR VOICES KNOWN - when you see injustice or anything that need action to be taken, find the respective minister's twitter or facebook or whatever, send in your thoughts and remarks. let them know that we are watching, we are concerned. without our voices, they will take it that we're ok with it. don't hide anymore, SPEAK OUT! but with wisdom... hahaha...

Day 2 - LOVE CHALLENGE

2010-09-02T11:40:00.003+08:00

What did I do today?

I intentionally smile at people and greeted them "Good Morning" on my way to work.

One person caught my attention. An old chinese security guard - when I smiled at him and greeted him, he just stared at me. Probably he felt surprised that after more than 1 year of walking into the building, this is the first time that I "talk" to him... haha... So, I should also reevaluate myself... "Vivien, how can you just ignore those people around you, day in and day out?"

I realised that as I intentionally do this LOVE CHALLENGE... I felt the change in myself.

Today for instance, in oder for me to greet people, I first need to have a "good day", "good feeling" first.. haha... I don't want to greet people with a long face... hahahaha... So, something first took place in my heart, before I first step out to LOVE and care for others ;)

It's a happy day!!!!

Day 1 - LOVE CHALLENGE

2010-09-01T13:15:00.002+08:00

today is the first day of the LOVE CHALLENGE... what to do? what to do?

i woke up with anticipation... what can I do today?

when I was leaving my house for work, I thought, "I'll greet my neighbours, everyone that I meet in the lift, on the way to the carpark, the security guards, I'll smile and greet them a heartiest good morning"... but don't know where did all the people go, I didn't see any of them... hahahaha

then i kept thinking, "Lord what can I do today?"

I read on something to ask us to pray for someone overseas... immediately a friend who is currently working in Japan flashed through my mind.. it has been a long long long long time since we last chat with one another or even email to one another.

this is it!!! I prayed for her, then I wrote to her... it'll not be a "one time" LOVE-action... this is the beginning of a friendship, the seed will start to grow again...

Lord, I bless her with JOY, WISDOM & PEACE everyday. I bless her with YOUR LOVE everyday. Jesus You love her more than I do. Teach me to love like You do. We need You Lord. AMEN!

let's make a difference!!

2010-08-30T14:28:00.000+08:00

Dr Martin Luther King Jr said, ‘If a man is called to be a street sweeper he should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of Heaven and earth will pause and say, “Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”’

Don’t just strive to make money, strive to make a difference.

LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE ;)

PASSION!!

2010-08-23T14:57:00.002+08:00

PASSION - that's what you see in his life!

Lord, teach us to live with passion too ;)

PASSION, I'VE GOT PASSION!!!

I put YOU in front of me so everybody can see, my LOVE, this is my LOVE

I know that I'll be alright, as long as You are my God, my LOVE, this is my LOVE

Live your life with PASSION... with LOVE <3

YES or NO

2010-08-13T11:30:00.002+08:00

Matthew 5:37 (New International Version)

³⁷Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'...

³⁷ 你们的话，是，就说是；不是，就说不是...

Mean what you say?

If you say 1pm, it means 1pm, not 1.05pm (a bit too strict, hoh? but some people have the habit of being late... therefore, they are always late... seems like they just love to be late... hahaha)

If you say burger, means burger, not hotdog (this is a bit too much, hoh? haha)

If you say "OK I'll do it", means you'll deliver results

If you say "I'll take care of it", means I don't have to worry about it anymore

CAN I TRUST YOU? ARE YOU TRUSTWORTHY?

MALAYSIA!

2010-08-12T16:02:00.003+08:00

let's pray for our country Malaysia this month.

fellow Malaysians, there's no Chinese, Indian or Malay... there's only one nation in Malaysia, the MALAYSIANS.

Psalm 33:10-12 (New International Version)

¹⁰ The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.

¹¹ But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he chose for his inheritance.

¹⁰ 耶和华使列国的筹算归於无有，使众民的思念无有功效。

¹¹ 耶和华的筹算永远立定；他心中的思念万代常存。

¹² 以耶和华为　神的，那国是有福的！他所拣选为自己产业的，那民是有福的！

lesson from the geese - part 2

2010-08-09T14:34:00.003+08:00

there are more lessons to be learnt from the geese...

4) "till death do us part" - they are fully committed to one another. if one of the geese is sick, 2 of the healthy geese will accompany the geese to a place of rest, they will be together, taking care of the sick geese till it recovers or die. it's the same with old, weak geese... "till death do us part"

5) MOST WELCOME!! - the geese always welcome other geese to join their formation - those who've left the earlier formation due to sickness, infirmity or whatever reason it is... they are accepted as a family. whether it be some old geese, weak geese... whoever they are, the entire troop will reschedule their timing and reorganise their formation so that those "new members" can fit in comfortably.

we have a lot to learn from nature, from His Creation ;)

lesson from the geese

2010-08-05T12:11:00.003+08:00

there are few lessons we can learn from the geese...

to put it in simple words...

1) team work --- they fly together in V-shape for energy saving.. it's a good strategy... if not, they won't be able to fly long distance

2) support team --- those at the rear of the formation will make the "honk" sound to support and encourage those in front, the rest of the geese will then follow along to make the sound for support

3) positive over negative --- at times, there may be some "out of tune" honking (people complaining, criticising the leader or the team...), then the rest of the geese will start to honk till the "out of tune" sound is drowned...

God is so brilliant in creating this beautiful birds...

Look at the birds in the sky & learn from them ;)

busy weeks...

2010-07-30T15:26:00.003+08:00

Signs of stroke - know it... You may save a life!

2010-07-23T16:32:00.002+08:00

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ..she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital -
(at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

I DO! How about you?

2010-07-21T10:57:00.002+08:00

Read the following this morning... short, sweet, meaningful!

God doesn't want you

to be infatuated with the Bible or the church or His blessings. No, He wants

you to fall in love with Him. He's not looking for a date; He's looking for a bride! He

wants someone who'll stick with Him when the going gets tough. Are you

ready to put on the ring of commitment today?

I DO!!

PEACE!

2010-07-20T10:18:00.004+08:00

Isaiah 26:12 (Amplified Bible)

¹²Lord, You will ordain peace (God's favor and blessings, both temporal and spiritual) for us, for You have also wrought in us and for us all our works.

Isaiah 26:12 (New International Version)

¹² LORD, you establish peace for us;
all that we have accomplished you have done for us.

PEACE!!

What do you understand by peace?

It's not just an outward circumstance, not just feeling "peace" when everything seems ok... not just no war, no riot....

We all need peace, but what is peace?

I think, peace is not just something on the "outside"... most importantly, peace is of the heart.

Though there may be storms all around, but inside, we can feel the peace...

why? - Because we know someone is there to see us through. We can face it alone, we can't do anything.. but we know someone who loves us will always be there.

Just like a child feeling safe and secured in the father's arm, despite the great flood. It is dangerous. But when dad is around, you just feel safe.

are we willing to fore-go winning for the sake of love?

2010-07-14T16:54:00.003+08:00

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?'The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'Then he told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'
Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.

In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.

Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the

plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.

The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.

The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over.

The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.

Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.

Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!'

Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.

He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'

Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.

By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball . the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.

He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.

Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'

Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

who will take the son?

2010-07-13T15:14:00.004+08:00

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas,

there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.

He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'

The father

opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man... He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'

There was silence.

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'

Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!'

But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting..' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

'We have $10, who will bid $20?'

'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'

The crowd was becoming angry.. They didn't want the picture of the son.

They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'

A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'

'What about the paintings?'

'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!'

God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The son, the son, who'll take the son?'

Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE

Refugees in Malaysia

2010-07-13T11:38:00.005+08:00

Today i read Isaiah 16... what catches my attention were these words...

[... do not betray the refugees... be their shelter from

the destroyer. - Isaiah 16:3-4]

Are there refugees in Malaysia? What are we doing? What's happening to them?

‎"Every has the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution" - Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 14(1)

JESUS truly loves you!

2010-07-12T15:58:00.003+08:00

For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)

NOTHING can separate us from His love...

NOTHING! NOTHING!

Jesus loves you. Let no one, let nothing put doubts in you.

When you think, "If God cares, if God loves me, why He allow this to happen?"

I don't know. But one thing I can tell you: Jesus loves you and He cares for you ;)

it's the end of the fever...

2010-07-12T14:37:00.003+08:00

两人的距离

2010-07-09T11:55:00.002+08:00

有人说，两个人的联结不在乎身体的距离，而是心灵的接触。两人虽然很靠近，也许内心世界是很遥远的，也许已经offline了。所以，好好珍惜身边的人，建立更深的关系。

mine & his ;)

云上太阳

2010-07-07T10:56:00.002+08:00

this song kept ringing in my mind since this morning...

无论是住在美丽的高山

或是躺卧在阴暗的幽谷

当你抬起头你将会发现

主已为你我而预备

云上太阳它总不改变

虽然小雨潵在脸上

云上太阳它总不改变

哈它不改变

strong vs weak

2010-07-06T10:50:00.004+08:00

2 Corinthians 12:9 (The Message)

My grace is enough; it's all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (Amplified Bible)

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

don't be disheartened, don't loose heart! His power is made complete in our weakness ;) - our limitation, bad breaks, oppositions, abuse, accidents, wrongdoings...

God's undying love for us...

2010-07-05T17:51:00.004+08:00

seeing this fish reminds me of NEMO... the Father's love is so great & undying that He will never let go of us... no matter how far we've strayed away, He'll find His way to reach us...

where have you been?

the Father is looking for you...

through the deep sea...

through the deep ravine...

through the challenges...

through trials...

through death... on the cross... He came searching for you...

He will not stop till He has found you... His precious little one...

small little LOVE gesture...

2010-07-02T16:05:00.003+08:00

LOVE is not just in all the romance, the big gesture... rather, it's in the small little thing in life that we can see LOVE, feel LOVE...

Small little gesture from you mean a lot to those you love - your family, your friends, your spouse etc...

So, show a LOVE gesture today to your loved ones ;)

no one cares...

2010-06-30T10:01:00.003+08:00

Psalm 142:4 (Amplified Bible) Look on the right hand [the point of attack] and see; for there is no man who knows me [to appear for me]. Refuge has failed me and I have no way to flee; no man cares for my life or my welfare.

People will not care how much we know until they know how much we care.

Church is not just a place to convert people and tell them that God loves them.

Church is a place where others can see & experience God's love - through our love & cares.

‘Will you love me as I am, even if I don’t fit your mould and change as quickly as you’d like me to?’

Do we love all those who come our way? Though they differ from us - they've green hair, tattoo all over their body, piercing their nose & tongue, dress ruggedly, poor & dirty...

Do we discriminate & show partiality? - what's their job, their social status, their gender orientation...

Can people find LOVE when they come to church? Can people find LOVE when they come to you?

CHARACTER

2010-06-29T10:31:00.004+08:00

CHARACTER: Beautiful houses are envious, but strong beautiful houses need strong firm foundation...

[Are you putting all your efforts into maintaining an image while neglecting foundational things such as your attitude, your integrity and your God-given purpose?

Houses built on sand are quick, cheap and easy; they provide temporary comfort and instant gratification. Building on rock is hard; it takes time, effort, foresight and perseverance—but the results are worth it. If you’re not sure what kind of house you’re building, watch what happens when the storm hits! A house built on rock will withstand the same storm that levels those built on sand. Simply stated, there are no shortcuts. Character is the result of commitment, consistency and building according to the principles of God’s Word. When you make these things the foundation of your life you’ll make it through any storm.]

GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU

2010-06-28T15:18:00.002+08:00

someone sent me the following... very inspiring & encouraging to me.. hope that you are blessed too! ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God Has Chosen You
Posted: 25 Jun 2010 03:19 AM PDT
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: John 15:16 KJV

God was the one who formed you, gave you the breath of life, and brought you into the world. He did this so that His arms could embrace you and His love could keep you—He wanted you to know that your relationship with Him would always be of more value than the things He would have you do for Him. He wanted you to be certain that He loved you completely before you ever did anything in His service, so that your service would never become a way of trying to earn His love or favor.

As you came to know His heart and hear His voice, you heard Him speak a call to your life. This call would mean that He would never ask you to do anything for Him that He expected you to do without Him. He alone would be your sufficiency. His only desire is that you daily open your heart to His resources—never saying, “I can’t,” without also being able to say, “He can!”

You are now in the place He has called you. He has made no mistakes in leading you. Even in the hard places He is working out what is best—not only for you and for others, but also for His Kingdom. He is not looking at your statistics or programs to measure you; He is looking at your heart to see if you are faithful. He wants you to know that the results of your obedience are for Him to determine. Be assured that it is His presence that will keep you and make you strong.

You are in God’s place at God’s perfect time. Your days are in His hands, and He is your future. He has gifted you and placed His hand upon you to bless you and make you a blessing. The burden of your ministry is not yours to carry—as you rest, He will work; as you abide, He will bring fruit; as you sow, He will give the increase. He is your shield and your exceeding great reward.

He is your provider. He will take care of you. He will nurture and sustain you. His Spirit is the wind to cool you, the water to refresh you, the power to enable you, the oil to anoint you, and the river that flows through you to touch the lives of others. Continue to be God’s man, in God’s place, doing God’s will, in God’s way, and always remember—God has chosen you!

the kNOT prayer

2010-06-25T17:08:00.001+08:00

Dear God

Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart & my life.
Remove the have NOTs, the can NOTs and the do NOTs that I have in my mind.
Erase the will NOTs, may NOTs, might NOTs that may find a home in my heart.
Release me from the could NOTs, would NOTs and should NOTs that obstruct my life.
And most of all, Dear God,
I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart and my life all of the "am NOTs"
that I have allowed to hold me back
especially the thought that I am NOT good enough.
AMEN!

DISCERNMENT

2010-06-25T10:58:00.001+08:00

Hebrews 5:14 (New International Version)
14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Hebrews 5:14 (Amplified Bible)
14But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.

[Reasoning is a product of your head; discernment is a product of your spirit. Your head doesn’t comprehend spiritual things...

To discern correctly, you must:
(1) spend time meditating on the Scriptures
(2) harmonise what you think God’s telling you with what He says in His Word
(3) observe and obey the conditions that go with His promises.]

- Lord, I need to exercise my sense of discernment!

hahahahahahaha.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

2010-06-24T10:48:00.003+08:00

Proverbs 17:22 (Amplified Bible)
A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

LEARN TO LAUGH!!! hahahahaha..... hehehehehehe.... kakakakakakaka... by being all tensed up, frustrated, irritated, stressed out... can you solve your problem? "A cheerful heart is a good medicine"... hahahaha.... kakakakaka... keep your heart right and you'll enjoy your day no matter what challenges it brings ;) kakakakakaka......

FIGHT THE GIANT!

2010-06-15T15:10:00.002+08:00

what GIANTS are you facing in your life? - worries, fear, disappointment, rejection, failures, weaknesses...

fight it! "not by might nor by power but by my Spirit" says the Lord.

fight it! with the power of the Holy Spirit.

fight it! with God-given wisdom.

STEP OUT & FIGHT IT!

Jesus is always there...

2010-05-21T19:11:00.001+08:00

Psalm 138 - Lord You are so good to me...

2010-05-18T12:54:00.000+08:00

1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
before the "gods" I will sing your praise.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.

3 When I called, you answered me;
you made me bold and stouthearted.

4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD,
when they hear the words of your mouth.

5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD,
for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly,
but the proud he knows from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with your right hand you save me.

8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.

not gifted to cook?

2010-05-10T14:20:00.001+08:00

hmm.. i m not a good cook.. probably not much opportunity to cook... or maybe that's just an excuse... hahahaha

mmm.......

love is in the air...

2010-05-07T14:57:00.001+08:00

what is love?

love is patient,
love is kind,
it does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud,
it is not rude,
it keeps no record of wrongs,
love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth,
it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres,
love never fails...

missing...

2010-05-05T15:49:00.002+08:00

hv u ever feel like something is missing from your life?

hv u ever feel like things are just not the same 'cos something is missing?

mmm..... missing a person can be so "unbearable"...
but we can't tie a person to be with us all the time...
there are time to be together, there are time to do our works separately...

learning to love, learning to give, learning to let go, learning to accept....
lots of things to learn ;)

REACTING or RESPONDING to circumstances?

2010-04-14T17:51:00.000+08:00

people are suffering
people are dying

Lord, have mercy on us!

We stray away from you
We rejected you
We run away from you
We mock you
Lord, please forgive us!

You are a JUST God, but You are a God who loves us.
Forgive us! Have mercy on us Lord!

People of God, Children of God
rise up!
Time is running short...
Grab as many people as you can from the lake of fire!

Don't just sit around, enjoying His blessings, enjoying life!
Look at those around you - your family, friends, relatives, colleagues, schoolmates...

THEY NEED JESUS!
Rise up! Rise up!

Look around for what God has prepared for u...

2009-11-23T14:30:00.001+08:00

Read the following story... a very simple story... yet it bring tears to my eyes...
i m touched by the "sacrificial giving" ;)

GO & DO GOOD!

Dan Clark recalls when he was a teenager, he and his father once stood in line to buy tickets for the circus. They noticed a poor family immediately in front of them. The parents were holding hands. They had eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. He could tell that the circus was going to be a new adventure for them. The attendant asked how many tickets they wanted. The man proudly responded, 'I'd like to buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets.' When the attendant quoted the price, the man's wife let go of his hand and her head drooped. The man leaned a little closer and asked, 'How much did you say?' The attendant quoted the price again. The man obviously didn't have the money. He looked crushed. Clark says his father watched all this, put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a twenty pound note and dropped it on the ground. His father then reached down, picked up the note, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, 'Excuse me, I think this must be yours.' The man knew exactly what was going on. He looked straight into Clark's father's eyes, took his hand, shook it, and with a tear streaming down his cheek, replied, 'Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.' Clark and his father went back to their car and drove home. They didn't have enough money to go to the circus that night, but it didn't matter. They'd blessed a whole family, and it was something neither family would ever forget. That's called 'doing good.'

what else can you think of?
(something positive la... :P)

2009-11-10T16:42:00.000+08:00

One author writes: 'I can't make myself love God, but I can come to know Him better. And because God is love, the more I come to know Him, the more my love for Him will grow. Love is a by-product of knowing. So I can spend this day loving God. And tomorrow I can seek to love Him a little more.' That's what it means to be 'rich towards God.

a little more every day ;)

be thankful for what we have

look at all the beautiful genuine smile from his face :)

life is what about what have or what we do not have,
but it's how we spend it, how we fill it ;)

fill your life with JOY!
fill your life with LOVE!
fill your life with FRIENDS!

this morning, this song just came into my mind....

a reminder of what my dear Lord Jesus has done for me;)

Thank you for the Cross the Mighty Cross
that God Himself should die for such as us
And everyday we're changed into Your image more and more
Yes, by the Cross we've truly been transformed!

And we're so amazed, and we give You praise
that You would save us at such a cost
And we're so amazed, and we give You praise
for the POWER OF THE CROSS
