Let's meet in our dreams and go on that road trip

Dear Lord, I seek first Your righteousness and Your kingdom.

my God’s love is so big, so big

Thank You God for Your goodness and closeness in my heart. There’s really none like You. Thank You for showing interest in me and my life, for being in my life. (: Truly, I have something within me that the world cannot buy from me. (:

I love my unchanging, unfailing, amazing God. Lord, help me to not take Your love for granted.

Lately, i have been thinking about how hanging out and being around the right people is very important and what i really really want to do. Who one surrounds oneself with determines the quality of life and one’s walk with God. I want the wisdom and understanding of leaders, I want to be with people I can grow together in Christ with. Am gonna pray to God and ask Him to give me the right companions (: nothing beats being able to talk about God with somebody and enhancing one’s understanding, insights, perspectives.

Dear Lord, in 2012 and for the rest of my life, help me to live on a higher plane of revelation. Help me to break out of my limited self, to know and understand Your ways. Give me the courage, strength and faith to go after and pursue all that You put in my heart so that I can be in step with Your plan and will for my life. Thank You for loving me, Thank You for Your great concern over my life and future, Thank You for being in my life. I love You.

“The love of God… desires that self should be forgotten, that it should be counted as nothing, that God might be all in all. God knows that it is best for us when self is trampled under foot and broken as an idol, in order that He might live within us, and make us after His will… So let that vain, complaining babbler - self-love - be silenced, that in the stillness of the soul we may listen to God.”

Dear Santa,

I have a wish this Christmas. Just one.

Simple it may seems, I know I require God’s intervention and His help. I know He will intervene because He loves me. (:

My wish: To love, trust and obey God with all my heart. Every single moment of my life.

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.” - Psalm 51:10-13

My prayer to God for life.

“The Old Covenant sacrifices, as powerful a pointer as they were, had a limited purpose. Their purpose was simply to show us how even the most rational and beautiful picture of grace - a blood sacrifice for sin - falls flat in front of what Jesus actually did.

The ultimate fact is that it is absolutely impossible to come to an understanding of God’s grace just from an assessment of the facts. There is nothing in human experience alone that can awaken a person to the full reality of God’s grace. What Jesus did for us, the grace that His life and death is for us, is eternally impossible to fully comprehend. The fact that people like us will live with God forever is purely His gracious gift to us. Sadly, even though we know so much about grace, we continue to make obeying rules the high watermark of our lives, rather than grace.”

I must say I am impressed, amazed, in awe. I have had many years gone by wasted not knowing God and having Jesus Christ in my life but now I know my life is different and is gonna be different. Wonder what the years that are to come will bring, how they will be like, what plans God has in store for me hmmmmm…. I am happy to know that transformation is taking place within me. I surrender it all to You, Lord.

I know Jesus didn’t die on the cross for nothing. I vowed to hang on for life and that’s what I will do. Gonna fight for as long as it takes.

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Thank You Jesus for making the pain I felt last night temporary. Thank You for making me feel better. Thank You for letting me know this fight is worth it. Thank You for convincing me even further that I wanna hang on to You for life. Thank You for not giving up on me. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for being in my life.

I love my God and wanna love Him even more. (:

I need to overcome my thoughts. God will handle this.

“I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross… In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it? I have entered many Buddhist temples in different Asian countries and stood respectfully before the statue of Buddha, his legs crossed, arms folded, eyes closed, the ghost of a smile playing round his mouth, a remote look on his face, detached from the agonies of the world. But each time after a while, I have had to turn away. And in imagination I have turned instead to that lonely, twisted, tortured figure on the cross, nails through hands and feet, back lacerated, limbs wrenched, brow bleeding from thorn-pricks, mouth dry and intolerably thirsty, plunged in God-forsaken darkness. That is the God for me! He laid aside his immunity to pain. He entered our world of flesh and blood, tears and death. He suffered for us. Our sufferings become more manageable in light of his. There is still a question mark against human suffering, but over it we boldly stamp another mark, the cross which symbolizes divine suffering. The cross of Christ… is God’s only self-justification in such a world as ours.”

“The point to remember is that creating a world where there’s free will and no possibility of sin is a self-contradiction - and that opens the door to people choosing evil over God, with suffering being the result. The overwhelming majority of the pain in the world is caused by our choices to kill, to slander, to be selfish, to stray sexually, to break our promises, to be reckless.

Why didn’t God create a world without human freedom? Because that would have been a world without humans. Would it have been a place without hate? Yes. A place without suffering? Yes. But it also would have been a world without love, which is the highest value in the universe. That higher good never could have been experienced. Real love - our love of God and our love of each other - must involve a choice. But with the granting of that choice comes the possibility that people would choose instead to hate.”

Your love is beyond amazing

Third usher duty tomorrow. Gonna try not to think about upcoming exams and give God my very best. I love my r/s with God cause I know that He understands my struggles more than anyone else ever can and He loves me unconditionally. I love God and wanna love Him even more. (:

“Within every transformation is a truth, and the truth sets one free.”

I have so many things about me that need to be changed. Dear Lord, change me. Help me to surrender everything to You and mould me into the person of Your will. Help me to obey You. Help me to bring my faith to the highest level.
