Through a Christmas Musical, I kinda have gotten another message from God.
you know how imperfect we all always are; we don't bring ourselves to love our enemies, we dishonor our parents, we lie just so everything seems fine, we only come to God mostly when we need Him(like we don't even do qt sometimes, but when theres a problem immediately we seek God), we commit so many other sins.
But through all these don't you realize that it is only then that God's glory is seen.
Okay take it that we are jars of clay with cracks in it all over. God's glory can shine through these cracks so that His glory can be shown. Whatever imperfections we may have, it is through God that we are made perfect.

"Without our imperfections there would be no need for a God, and he, in all actuality, would not exist because we would all find ourselves at the same level and mental state as our creator. Also without these imperfections there would be less of a focus on the eternal love and acceptance that our father gives us. Without our imperfections, we would not need him to love or care for us and take us in because everything would be in our hands and we would not need assistance. But the fact of the matter, once again, is that we are indeed imperfect."

never stop seeking the Lord for He will always be there for us. always have faith in Him for he is good and ever so real in our lives.

"Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God."
Deuteronomy 18:13

Slowly I am returning back to my old sinful lifestyle, so far from God.
suddenly things seem to turn out all wrong like everything is against me. Could it be that God is angry with me? It seemed so much like God planned for my punishment and destruction,
I wanted so much to run away from God, I doubted Him.

But then it suddenly struck me that those were the lies of the evil one. God loves me and will never plan my destruction for it says in the bible that because He loves me, he will never plan for me to be destroyed but for me to prosper. And no matter what, the Lord will always love me for He loves me not for what I did or do, but for who I am.

Friends, we may be people of little faith.
We stumble and fall so many times, but know this: God will ALWAYS love us no matter what and He is only a prayer away when we need Him. His mercy and forgiveness knows no bounds. His love is endless.

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" (Jeremiah 29:11)

Sickness

Amen Dexter, Amen.

I just remember the lyrics to Hillsong's song 'You Hold Me Now'.
You hold me now, No darkness no sick or lame. No Sickness. In heaven it will be so fun that theres just simply no time to get sick, after all sickness ain't fun. Just a thought.

Also I was talking to my work colleague about how I got my name. I tried to explain that Gabriel the angel spoke to Mary about Jesus and also stars in the Muslim faith as the revealer of Mohammad's reveolation. He said he was an atheist but then said he was an agnostic. Basically he believed any one could have written the bible and he didn't like the Catholic church too much.

I read in Our Daily Bread, the more you talk about Jesus the more you love him? It's like when you have an awesome girlfriend or awesome friend who has changed your life, you tell everyone? So evangelism is a good indicator of how much you love God? I dunno, I'm probably wrong.

Oh and when I get better I'm gonna 6am prayer meets at my local korean church. Some of them live in the city so they have to wake up at 4am then go to university. Now that's commitment!

God bless you guys! Stay on fire for Jesus. Hope I can. We should always include a bible verse in our blog post which means something to you at the time. Mine is Roms 1:16 - I am not ashamed of the gospel and the power of salvation to everyone who believes, first for the jews then for the gentiles (thats me and you!).

Pray that I'll keep better care of myself and I'll get better. =]

whoopee I have something to share:)
yesterday I had a fever, my hands and feet were cold but my body was warm. Before I went to sleep, I prayed to the Lord and asked Him to heal me of my sickness and take it away today. this morning I am feeling so much better and there is no hint of fever at all:) praise God!
friends, I believe that God will always answer your prayers if you turn to Him and pray sincerely. He will answer your prayer as long as its reasonable(well in the sense that you don't ask for impractical things like extra pocket money so you can buy new clothes, shoes etc.) for God is our rock and our salvation. He is our caretaker and healer!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Friends, I believe this verse will serve to strengthen our resolve to spend more qt? like really have faith to believe that God will speak to us if we listen. Even if we literally just sit there silently in His presence and wait for Him to speak(oh and pray haha, like before you sit there quietly remember to pray that God will speak to you! haha common sense?lol). This is something I learnt from camp and I will never forget.
