no condemnation.
just when i have prayed and committed and asked God to help me in a particular area in life, soon after, satan catches me unaware, and i end up in a situation, doing the very thing that i didn't want to do. satan laughs. i can get discouraged and think that i have failed again. but that's a lie. the truth is - there is NO condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. each day is a new day. a new me. a new start. a new clean sheet. there is no condemnation. amen.

choose to rejoice.
if the only things we focus on are the doom and gloom our present circumstances bring us, then we'll wallow in the mud. the mud will cloud our vision, skew our focus, and make us forget that the sun still shines above us. but if we make the choice to rejoice and keep looking up, when we hit the inevitable mud puddle, our shoes might be a little dirty, but it will not affect the way we see life.-lysa terkeurst

ecp with jo.
this robot is tired
but holds a flower of hope.
thanks jo,
for today.
enjoyed chatting with you.
reading the Bible while enjoying the sea breeze.
seeing people catch fish.
cycling.
relationships like this keeps me going
even though i'm tired.
i've realized.
it's easier to get discouraged
if one doesn't have enough sleep.
do wish for a rest.
but it seems like there is always
an endless list of urgent things to do.
choose to rejoice. (:

to think about.
sometimes as i walk along each day, in shops, or listening to something, or reading something, once in a while, God allows me to come across interesting quotes. here are some i saved in my handphone. ((: hope it's enjoyable to read.
find hope through faith.
peace through prayer.
life through Jesus.
trials are not enemies of faith
but are opportunities
to prove God's faithfulness.
life with Christ is an endless hope.
but life without Christ is a hopeless end.
the israelites felt helpless
because they saw the giant in relationship to themselves.
but David saw the giant in relationship to God.
the key is not our talents
but the cultivating of our hearts
so when God does work through us
we offer the praise to Him and let others know
it was God who accomplished the work.
lessons to learn from noah's ark:
don't miss the boat.
remember that we are all in the same boat.
plan ahead, it wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
stay fit. when you are 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
don't listen to critics, just get on with the job that needs to be done.
build your future on high ground.
for safety's sake, travel in pairs.
speed isn't always an advantage, the snails were on board with the cheetahs.
when you are stressed, float a while.
remember the ark was built by amateurs, the titanic by professionals.

not quickly broken.
there is so much to thank God for if we were to take time, to pause, and to notice them.thank God for church youths.
it's amazing.
God answered our prayers.
they shared in their groups.
they prayed.
they had fun too.
He provided uncle ivan to get food for the youths.
i could sense God at work today.
thank God.
He has given us different gifts.
He has made us so different.
yet because of the bond of Jesus Christ we are one.
where one is weak, the other can be strong.
that's why He put us together.
same same, yet different.
three.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 says:
two are better than one
because they have a good return for their work.
if one falls down
his friend can help him up.
but pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
but how can one keep warm alone?
though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
a cord of three strands is
not quickly broken.

the truth.
a cult tried to share the 'gospel' with me today.she was doing her version of 'street e'.
be careful of them.
false teachers.
they are quite forthcoming and agressive.
if we don't know our Bible well we could be swayed by their seemingly truthful ideas about God.
she could even open her Bible and show me many verses which supports her claim.
it was hard to counter what she was saying on the spot.
and she spoke with so much passion.
it puts me as a Christian to shame.
this experience has motivated me to want to study the Bible more.
and to want to share the true Gospel even more.
we need to reach the world first, before such cult groups reaches them.
we need to know the truth.
the world needs to know the truth.
for that lady who is so sincerely wrong in her belief, God, help her see the truth.
and for all those whom she spoke to, may they not be stumbled.
the truth.
know it.
and know it well.
prayer over the phone. (:

far greater.
never forget that what you have to gain in Christ is far greater
than any loss you will be called to endure.

emptied hands.
God wants to give us somethingbut cannot because our hands are full -
there's no where for Him to put it.
-by Saint Augustine
suffering empties our hands so that God can give us Himself -
the true treasure of life.
