Sunday, October 7
rainy day
the Bible is a gem. don't take it for granted. i've got the whole entire Bible in a language i understand. i can read it anywhere. i can buy it anywhere. not so for others in other countries.they stood for 6 hours in the sun worshipping God and reading the law of Moses. they responded to God's word. they were enthusiastic, attentive. they wept. they were teachable.
new building. new hearts. may our hearts beat according to His.
meeting with Jesus. should make an appointment soon.
i have to train my mind to think of things that are right, noble, pure, true, lovely and admirable. my mind has to be saturated with the word of God and equipped with God's word. if i ever get dementia, i pray that i'd never forget God and that i'd never forget verses from the Bible.
remove the 'what about me' question in my life. it's selfish to just keep thinking about myself, how hard i've got to study and stuff. that brings about self pity... there are so many other people out there who are in a more horrible situation than i am in yet can be joyful, maybe they're fighting for their lives, maybe their losing someone they love....
it's a joy to think about others first. Lord, please help me to give more and more to others. to put them before myself. and to put You before them.
all who are studying, jia you.
thank you Lord for giving me the comfort of reading Your word on the quiet bus ride back. comforting! felt safe.
thank you for the bottle of sparkling juice.
no one is good. all of us are bad. sinful people needing the grace of God.
under the tiny green umbrella.
i found warmth.
thank You Lord that i have You.
help me to trust.
