Easter

Dissection test is over!! And i truly praise God for being the same yesterday, today and forevermore, the really amazing and faithful God! It's really awesome how God provides and blesses. May all the praise, the glory, the honour be to our God forever and ever!

The past two weeks or more, i've been reminded that mediocrity is not enough for God. Laziness is detestable in God's eyes, DETESTABLE. During this time, Easter season, we look upon the cross and be reminded of the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord(though not only during Easter that we think of it). When we think seriously of what He's done for us, the King of kings and the Lord of all lords, given His best for us, would it be fair or acceptable when we give our second best to Him?

But on the other hand also, we are reminded that it's not by our effort, our works nor by our hands that we receive this grace, for we are saved by grace through faith. It's simple, a choice whether to receive or to reject or to seriously think of what to do when we are offered this love and mercy.

Many times, we've let God down, let people down, let ourselves down. But what's important is that we repent, REPENT, not just merely saying sorry, but REPENT. There're times we fail, but that should not and will not stand in our way to do better next time. There're even times when we know we've given our best, but do not succeed to meet our own or God's expectations. We're often misled to think that only by being the best we glorify God. We need to be reminded that God expects our best, not just to be the best. He'll take care of the rest. When our motivation is to glorify God, to honour God, to please God, to love God, even when we fail, we know that God is pleased and it helps us get back on our feet, to move on. In His time, God makes all things beautiful in His time. The amount of regret or sadness will not change what has already happened, so just get back on our feet and move on.
In good times, we praise God, the same goes when times are bad, we still praise Him for what He has done! For all honour, glory and power belongs to our God!=D Let us be encouraged by His love! Happy Easter! thank You, Jesus!!=D

He's SOOOOOOO real!!!

when words are said at the right time, at d right place to the right person, it's just so so amazing. that's how God is. He just knows when to speak and what to say. words of encouragement or words that rebukes and builds us up, it is just hits bulls eye when God speaks. but many times, it's just that we are so blind, so deaf that we just don't listen to His still small voice, and don't recognize that our shepherd is calling.
people that rebuke and correct us because they love us, these people are hard to come by. the word of God does more than encourage, it teaches, builds and rebukes. it's just utterly absolutely undeniably awesome when and how God speaks. i'm just so blown away, so amazed, so in awe, so in love with God. He's really someone i can count on, someone i can take refuge in, someone i can talk to, someone that will be there for me, someone who teaches and disciplines me, someone who loves me so much that He gave me the gift and grace of salvation through Jesus. i pray for a still and attentive spirit that listens to Him and recognize His voice. He is a covenant keeping God, indeed!! He's a wonder working God!!! He's so SOOOOO real!! He is so refreshing! wow!!

Give up?

It's so easy to give up, to take the easy way out. So many excuses or "reasons" we can find to walk away and say, "i've got nothing to do with this, and i shall not have to deal with this." But when we stop and think, what if God had given up on us? Would we still have this day and this privilege to come before Him, and be so honoured to call Him Dad? If God had said, i've had enough, you'll never reach the standard of holiness i have; and might be, you should just stop trying; and might be, i should just give up on you. If God had given up, there would not be a reason for us to live. If God had given up.. I wouldn't dare imagine that day and place without God, it would be so dark, so hopeless, so much suffering, so much agony, so much tears, loud cries of help that would not be answered...

But thank God, He hasn't given up!!=D there's still hope in the Lord Jesus Christ! And when i have received this gift of love, grace and mercy, i am going to share this love. We're all called to love. To love God first, and to love others. When i feel like giving up, i could only think, what if God did the same?

When people tell us that they want to give up, will we encourage them to persevere, continue loving and serving? or will we say, 'yeah, i think it's better to give up and stop wasting your time and effort'? I have chosen to be an encourager, i will try my best never to cause people to stumble. I pray for the gift of encouragement and faith, faith like that of a child, faith as big as a mustard seed, faith that can move mountains.

"Perseverence must finish it's work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing."

"And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
