One more lesson to learn

"You can't be disappointed if you don't have any expectations"

-Chuck =)

This is Our God

Freely You gave it all for us...

As these few days past, I've come to some realizations.

1. There are friends out there who can use a helping hand

2. Not every friend I made will last forever

3. I ought to give whatever I can to help a friend

God I pray for Your providence, that I may be a pillar of help to a friend in times of need.

I ask for more of You not for my own sake, but that others may come to realize that You are a great and awesome God.

Forever Your Name be glorified,

Servant and King,

You are our God

No turning back

As I look through my list of friends and reflecting on my life,

it seems that friends are not always meant to be in your life all the way.

It seems that certain friends are meant to be there by your side even at your funeral.

And mine?

I'm confident that I have built several, if not few, concrete friendships/male bondings with certain people.

And the many others?

I suppose on my part, I have failed to live up to their expectations or in 1 way or another, I have committed grave mistakes.

dear bloggie, I just have this urge to run away from everything in my life including all the sad things that bugs me. I just want to go to somewhere to start anew, a second chance. And knowing all the mistakes I've made and not committing them again. To the people and friends I have lost, to love them the way I should have. I don't want to be bonded by serving and serving again and again. I think I'm beginning to lose my center of focus already =(

Right now? Right now I think everyone's too busy to talk to me. Yup with exams pressing in and relationships coming into their lives. Different friends with different ambitions and goals from all walks of life.

I hope I won't walk through this life alone

Living the Dream

Living the Dream is something I'm sure many desire their own lives...

Question is: Who's dream are you living?

Yours? Or the dream of someone else?

Well for me, I choose to live not my own dream, but the dream of God.

The dream/desire to love.

The desire to reconcile.

The desires that I have had cannot go with the desires of His,

because I was a sinner and He is holy.

Therefore, I must die to my own self and arise anew.

Lord, I pray for renewal.

Renewal of the Spirit, mind and body in this degenerating world today.

May I yearn for purity and holiness in You.

It may seem out-of-fashion or cliche to many, maybe even for the old-timers.

But I pray that You will manifest Your presence.

For You are everlasting to everlasting.

May I never exasperate myself or be anxious about anything,

but with thanksgiving, present my requests to You and hope in You.

That the God who died for me is the God who lives in me,

That the God who takes away is the God who free gives in His will,

That the God who lives yesterday is the God who lives today and forever,

That You are God, and Your Name will be exalted in all the heavens and the earth.

Amen.

Who is the greatest?

It has been an eventful week, I will say 7 out of 10 maybe.

If there is one thing I can share,

it will be "Giving up my rights and Lordship to Him".

Yups, Jude's sharing at Friday cell was simple yet impacting...

It reminded me what to and what not to in my life...

Am I striving to please myself or Him?

Am I trying to accomplish tasks on my own merit?

Another week ahead, I pray and hope that I will not falter...

Because He is with me and He will always be.

Thank You Lord and Your name is to be praised,

greatly to be praised =D

Who is the greatest?

Thought for the day

God said in His word that the greatest of all is love.

God also said the greatest command is to love Him and to love others as oneself.

But how much do we care what He says...

I wonder...

So so so many things ah!

Today's sermon on discipleship was really good...

5 simple yet important values of a Disciple...

Yet again, so many questions and doubts have surfaced in my mind regards to all about my faith and all that I had given...

I don't think it will be appropriate for me to voice them out here, so I will not stumble others in their faith...

But 1 thing I know, I don't decide all these..It is wholly God's sovereign will.

His and His alone! Amen...

Let this be my daily prayer

Our Father in Heaven,

hallowed be Your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread,

forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.

Amen.
