All I need is You
I'm back to using this blog!!! cos blogspot is easier to customise haha..(although there's no option for 'friends only' posts) I can have a playlist, and a tag board too! so i'm permanently back i think^^
hmm actually i'm not sure what to write... lets see..:
I just read the birthday card that Zealots for Christ(2008 cell) gave me. I MISS ZEALOTS!!! i really miss you all..i miss our understanding for each other..i miss our unique laughters haha:)
The above picture is meaningful to me bcos it reminds me that God's Word, the Bible, is what guides me and leads me along God's will. I've been stuck at Hebrews 7. And every time I flip to it, I end up closing it after 15-30 mins cos I didn't learn something. I did think of changing to another verse, but I just felt that continueing to read it was better? Is this correct? Or should I do my TAWG from another verse?
God, would you tell me the one thing I need to focus on now?

"I'm sending you.." to do what?
As we enter into a new Poly and JC, we will once again enter into an atmosphere thats different from God's will. People will not have habits and cultures that we may be comfortable with. And there will be many situations where we(I) dont know how to respond. But God says in Ezekiel 2:6,
"Do not be afraid of them or their words."
"Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them."
Even if Christians are scarce there, and we are surrounded by people who can influence us with their ways, we will "not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around [us] and [we] live among scorpions."
(Ezekiel 2:7)
Instead, "[we] must speak [God's] words to them." He is sending us there to tell them what He says! Whether they listen or fail to listen, even if we think that they will definitely not, we must still speak His words to them.
(Ezekiel 2:8)
"Listen to what [He] says", "open [our] mouth and eat what [He] gives [us]." This means that we must feed ourselves from God's word-to be careful not to adopt others' behaviours!

Loving God too much?
Has anyone heard someone saying excitedly, "God is great! I love Him too much!" ? Or perhaps we have said it before.
Today I went to my paternal grandmother's house
She had told me that her relative didn't like her going to Church when she was young. So I asked her, "What about now?". Surely there wouldn't be be anyone there to stop her anymore, I thought. She asked with a smile, whether I was thining of inviting her. Of course I said yes. Then she replied, telling me that she couldn't possibly go to Church every week- it was a matter of tiredness and her difficulty of walking, and the need for a Hokkien service to understand. She also said that quite a nunber of her friends were going to Church too.
Then surprisingly naturally, I went on sharing with her about my relationship with God for the first time! I told her about how God was always looking after me..
prompting me to pray for someone who finally found her lost bag, which was very important..
how I wasn't nervous for my O level results because I know that He is in control and has a purpose for me wherever I go.. how I wanted her to feel the happiness too, that someone us there to take care if us and He loves us more than anything. Then she looked at me with a slight smile and said, "I will go with you soon."
I said all these in mandarin, a language I don't use to share about God! Indeed, it is by the grace of God. Indeed, when we share about God, our tongue will move in His will.
A few hours later, I went back to my aunt's room feeling really thankful. Thoughts like "I can't thank You enough, Lord!" and "You've done so much for me!" came to my mind and soon, this thought: "I love You too much, God!" But I quickly put it away. Instead, I said to the Lord, "I love You so much!".
Other than the testimony, here's something else I wanna share:
There's no such thing as 'loving God too much' simply because we cannot out-love God! We can never love God enough because His love is ever so boundless and has no limitations.
Isn't this beautiful and wonderful to know? There're no boundaries to how much we can love God, how much we can do for Him and how much we can obey Him!

Love
1 John 3: 18
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth."
God wants us to love with actions and in truth. Whether it is towards God's people, our family or even those who do not know God, He wants us to show love with action and in truth. If we were to write a card or tell our family how much we love them, He would rather we love them with action and in truth.
To love with action is to do acts of service unto the people we love, which is every person on this earth- the saved and the unsaved- because God loves us All.
To buy breakfast for my family.
To help with the housework.
To pray with them.
To talk to anyone who looks lonely in school.
To buy something for them if they can't go and eat...
To love in truth is to love in a Godly way by following how the Bible defines love! To love Your people the way You love us! Some verses to always remember are: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 1 John 3:18.

"The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men."
Psalm 12:8
"The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men."
When reading the Bible and reflecting, we don't want unknown words to stop us from getting the meaning of a verse because that verse could very well be what God is trying to speak to us. So whenever we come across an unknown word, we shouldn't try to guess the meaning or brush through that sentence. Instead we should check the dictionary to see what it means! This helped in my Time Alone With God on 7dec when God spoke to me through Psalm 12:8.
::The word "vile" means wicked or nasty::
In other words, wherever we are, we will only feel comfortable when our ways are practised and adored by the people around us.
+ Where are we most comfortable at? Home? Church? School? What is the way of life there? What is our way of life there? Are we following the way of life there? Should we change ours?
+ Where are we least comfortable at? Church? School? Home? What is the way of life there? What is our way of life there? Should we change our ways of life to follow them?
