I give My grace to the humble.

My first grace to you is…

know the level of your own deception.

Knowing this brings true humility.

True humility is agreement with the truth.

Truth reveals your true condition.

You must become blind in order to see.

Compare not yourself with others.

But if you keep looking to Me, then you’ll go far.

Many are distracted by looking at themselves.

If you turn from Me to look at yourself,

you will fall. Pride will make you fall.

Self-centredness causes you to fall.

To be delivered from self-centredness is to walk in love.

Love does not seek its own.

Your own reasoning will only leads you

to do wrong things in the wrong way.

Your ways are not My ways…this’s your deception.

You must be in union with Me to think like Me.

If you seek Me, you’ll find Me..to all who call upon My name.

I will be found by those who seek Me.

You’ll only have My judgements as you walk in unity with Me.

You can only have wisdom and judgements unless you abide in Me.

The more you mature,

the more you’ll know your desperate need of Me.

Light exposes. Fellowship with Me requires exposure.

Only when you seek to be exposed, and allow who you’re to be exposed,

then only you’ll walk in the light as I am in the light.

Jesus is the light of the world.

He who follows Jesus shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.

Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

His life brings light to mankind.

In His light, we see our true identity..sinners in need of a saviour.

When we follow Jesus, the true light, we can avoid

walking blindly and falling into sin.

We receive His grace and strenghth to overcome sin and death.

Christ lights the path ahead of us, so we can see how to live.

He removes the darkness of sin from our lives.

Have you allowed the light of Christ to shine into your life?

Let Christ guide your life, and yuo’ll never need to stumble in darkness.

Seek wisdom and truth…

wisdom can only be obtained when you gain experience.

Many experiences are painful and hurtful..

you can be so badly hurt,

the pain piercing through your heart..

this’s part of maturity in life.

When we take short-cuts in life, we learn less.

But when we take the longer way,

we go through storms and fires..

we get burned, injured, hurt, scarred and discouraged,

but our faith in Christ grows with stronger will-power,

in spite of peer pressure and other temptations

which try to pull us away from the truth,

from the light in God.

As we keep our focus on our Creator,

He’ll make a way where there seems to be only a dead end.

This life on earth is only temporary.

What really matters is ETERNITY with God.

.

Trust in the Lord in everything.

In Christianity, nothing is smooth going.

Everyone will face loneliness in our lives.

The different is how we accept it, and deal with it.

People come and people go in our lives.

Babies are born everyday, but people also die everyday.

Our loved ones can be gone in a blink;

our friends can turn their backs on us.

Everything is so uncertain.

Like the stock market, and the economy of the world.

But one thing is very certain..

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

This you can rest assured, if you’re not sure.

Even before you were born, He already knows your name.

He’s a God who deeply cares about you.

Ask the Lord to reveal Himself to you, to be real to you.

Just talk to Him about things deep in your heart.

He’s a friend you can truly trust, unlike other friends.

He’s always there to protect

and guide you in your life situations.

Seek Him for guidance.

Before you make any decision, think about God,

and how you can serve Him with your whole life.

Being a Christrian has never been an easy task,

for it requires great strength and courage.

There’re so many mountains to climb,

so amny storms and fires to go through.

But God will never let us down.

Miracles only happen at the peak of a storm,

when everything seems so impossible,

When there’s no more hope, no light at all and totally no future.

That’s when God moves His hand.

God is the light and He’ll light the path for us,

but only at His perfect time and perfect will.

God has a perfect plan for each of our lives,

but it’s up to us to unfold it, and walk in it,

and believing in the impossible.

Nobody knows when the world’ll come to its end.

Then, there would be no right and wrong,

because justice then no longer exists.

Cherish your moment now, and make full use of your time here.

Don’t let the evil one or anybody pull you down,

or influence your principle of what’s right.

Stand firm on your beliefs.

Differentiate right from wrong based on the Lord’s wisdom.

Don’t go astray from your Creator.

Do right and don’t go against your conscience.

Hear the still, small voice inside you.

You know it’s there, and it is right, but sometimes you doubt yourself.

Have peace within your heart. Hold on to the things you believe in.

Put your trust in God. He’ll never forsake you

..

Bitterness can turn the mind into a black hole of anger and revenge.

It poisons the soul and ruins health and friendships.

Bitter people may be right, but they’re lonely and obsessed.

We cannot change the past. Don’t let the past puts you in prison.

Love is the foundation of any true happiness. To see blessings

and happiness in your life,learn to forgive and move on.

It’s not worth to hold on to the past. LET GO, and let forgiveness

flow and brings healing to your soul..even your health.

True meaning in life is hard to find.

But with faith, all things are possible.

True love can never be found in this world of ours,

because natural men of this world are never faithful,kind and true.

Instead, they’re always cunning in taking advantage of one another,

using each other and blaming one another.

That’s the world we live in.

Human beings never see their own mistakes and weaknesses.

Judgement will not come upon you,

if you first judge your own self and not others.

Always look yourself in the mirror, and see your own weak points.

The Lord respects those who’re humble and meek.

Without admitting our weaknesses, we can never improve.

The Lord is always there for those who need Him.

But do we see God in our lives?

Do we respect His presence?

You’ll only see His glory and faithfulness, when you accept Him.

Therefore search sinserely for the Truth, and KNOW the real GOD.

Do not let yourself be discouraged by the circumstances around you,

but always focus at the positive,

always look to God for hope, to have faith in Him,

to trust Him once again.

You see, God is mysterious and He wants you to discover for yourself,

things and hidden truths about Him.

If only you’ll open up your heart to Him once again,

and let Him into your life, then He’ll show you

things you have never known.

So do not put Him in the closet and seek Him only in times of troubles.

Instead always be with Him, every single day, every single time you have.

Cherish the moment…for soon the world would come to its end.

Be prepared yourself, and stay alert.

And trust in Him.

..

Crisis is never easy….

you feel the pain, anxiety and suffering no one understands.

During a storm, it always seems dark and without hope,

but with faith, the Lord will take you through.

When all is falling, stay strong and firm.

The future might looks bleak and hopeless,

nothing is impossible with God if you believe.

For God, miracle is a very small thing.

No blessing will come into your life

if you don’t respect and honor His presence.

What had you done for God that’s in

His will? Make right with God.

It’s never too late.

Don’t take time for granted for it flies.

The world will come to its end soon.

Be prepared, Be equiped.

Start walking in your calling.

Never give up.

Find peace and rest in God.

..

Do not let circumstances in life block your view of God

and hinder your intimacy with Him.

Unless you allow God to take control over your life,

and you let Him into your heart,

it’ll be difficult for you to have any relationship with Him.

It’s only by His grace and mercy that you can be holy as He is holy.

Every morning you’re renewed by His grace and mercy.

They are new every morning.

His grace comes to you in many different forms..

encouragements will come to you throughout your life.

What really matters is to seek the truth and do what is right.

God’ll take you through the storms, but you must allow Him to do so.

Only at the peak of the storm will you see God’s miracle,

will you see God’s hand moves.

Therefore follow your calling, and you will be blessed.

Nothing is too big or too small for God.

Your feelings are not too small for God to notice,

your worries or circumstances are not too big for God to handle.

Just imagine God holding the heavens and earth in His hand.

We’re only a small part of creation;

yet we meant everything to God.

Imagine just how wonderful God is.

God is always speaking to you,

but you’re not listening most of the times,

because you’re so distracted by things around you.

Be still,and know that I’m God.

Be still, pay attention to the still, small voice inside you.

Be still and let your mind be clear, when you’re seeking God.

The still small voice is the voice of the Spirit of God

speaking through your conscience or your spirit in you.

God wants you to come to Him,

and to lay all your burdens at His feet,

so that you can find rest for your soul in Him.

You’re feeling hopeless and tired most of the times.

Why?

It’s because you just would not want to see God as your friend,

as your comforter, as somebody you can trust to help you,

as someone you can reach out to.

God is waiting for you to draw near to Him.

To know God, you need to read His Word.

Reading God’s Word is reading His mind,

His thoughts and His plans.

God cannot be in your heart,

if you’re not ready to receive Him;

for your heart has to be cleansed first

in order for God to dwell in your heart.

All the unrighteousness, unforgiveness,

bitterness and negative thoughts

have to be uprooted and taken away,

before God can draw close to you.

Therefore seek God with a broken heart, and a humble spirit.

If only you have faith as small as a mustard seed,

you’ll see drastic changes in every aspect of your life.

So have a right concept about God

and then let Him into tour life.

Encounter with God, or experience with God,

comes in many different ways,

not just one fixed way of experiencing God,

just as God’s graces come in manifold varieties.

Therefore do not be anxious for an encounter with God,

for in His perfect time and perfect will,

you shall have your personal encounter with God.

Trust in God, and never give up hope in Him,

for He’ll never forsake you,

and He’s always there to help,

to watch over you and to protect you.

If you’re obedience to His calling you,

then you’ll be blessed.

First make right with God,

and make a covenant with Him.

God is always full of grace and mercy to those

who show mercy and trust in Him.

God treasures very much the times you spent with Him,

and God just wants to cuddle and hug you forever,

but at the same time, for your own good,

God also wants you to grow up and to mature spiritually.

He wants you to pray, fast and read His Word,

so that you’ll be able to see your own life changed,

and you’ll be able to see God.

Those who are pure in heart, they shall see God.

God is the beginning and the end.

He’s the Alpha and Omega,

the creator of the universe.

Just imagine God holding the universe in His hand

He can be anywhere,

at any time.

He never sleeps and He knows everything,

every single thing that’s happening in the world……

the cries of the sufferings,

the deaths of many,

the mournings of the sad,

the joys of the blessed,

the births of babies,

just everything you can think of.

God listens to all our prayers,

He’ll answer them all

if only we wait upon Him and be patient.

God has a plan and a future for everyone of us.

But we’ve the free choice to choose between good and evil.

Every breath that you breathe is a gift frm God…..

are you aware?

Be thankful,

and appreciate the goodness God has given to you.

Life is meaningless and aimless without God.

God created us for a purpose.

What’s that purpose?

It is to fulfill His command,

to fulfill His mission to us…..

What’s the command and mission given ?

To love one another…the 2nd greatest commandment.

The greatest command is to put God 1st in our hearts.

God has not created us to be robots.

We’re free to choose whether to obey.

Those who belong to God hear His voice.

God has not predetermined how our lives would be like

Or where our souls will go

after this temporary life on earth.

So choose and cherish the chance given to us

to live a fruitful life,

to choose to love God,

to express our love for Him,

as He had first loved us.

 Many things we don’t understand,

but we need not have to be angry.

‘cos there’s a bigger picture we can’t see.

Many things that happened in our lives are like puzzles,

hard to understand..too many whys and hows,

no one can answer..those memories,dark secrets,turmoils and

bitterness..no one would understand..but they all happen

for a reason, a purpose..by themselves, the puzzles have no

meaning, no picture. Don’t hurry time in order to understand,

but wait upon the Creator to fix them all.

Don’t resent Him,but give Him a chance to be real,

to work things out.

An achiever is one who is an overcomer.

Our lives on this earth are only temporary.

What’s important is eternity.

It’s what inside us that makes us different.

Not our achievements and accomplishments.

True satisfaction cannot be achieved from this world.

It can only be found in God.

.

.

Look around..grace and beauty can be found, even within pain.

It’s fear that keeps us trapped and blind.

Your cage is the condition of your mind.

Grief and bitterness can only keep you a prisoner of the past.

Revenge can only make you bitter forever,

a prisoner of your own hatred.

We become prisoners in our own dark souls,

suffocated by our own brooding thoughts.

Hatred and resentment wound our souls.

It opens the door for the devil to come in do much damage,

bringing confusion, fears, deception, depression, madness.

Anger and bitterness are your real enemies.

Those who strike out are like wounded animals.

Because of pride, they resist attempts to relieve the pain.

Not easy to put the past behind,but look what the future holds.

With God’s help,you can do almost anything..

overcoming your fears and pain.

But you have one power to redeem the past…

if you’re willing to receive God’s forgiveness,

to forgive others, and to trust God

to do the impossibles…to work bad into good.

Let Me take over, says the Lord,feel powerless before Me,

and you’ll find true happiness and security.

Only in Me, can you find true freedom and friendship.

Reach out, grasp hold and don’t let go.

Time cannot be reversed.

Once you make a decision,it becomes the unchangeable past,

which in turn sets the stage for present options.

If you continue to make bad choices, because of pride and deception,you suffer the consequences.you reap your own bitter fruits.unless you’re humble enough to let God work bad choices into good,that is to do the impossible…who can?

Do all things, even bad things, work out for good for everybody…no, only to those who love God, who has His favor upon him.Do you respect and honor His presence? What had you done for God that’s in His will? Do you take things for granted? also His mercy and grace? Do you have a grateful heart?

The world will come to its end.

Be prepared and stay alert. Trust in the Lord.

the poison of bitterness

 

The trees look grey and down. 

The bitter autumn is over now

 

but how can i forget

the bitter pain and the heartache. 

How could this happen? 

 

Into the empty sky i sit thinking,

my dazed wet eyes just staring.

My swollen eyelids upon tired eyes

for how many days crying unending,

my inner feeling wanting to die.

My happiness torn apart like a flower.

It’s now all over. 

   

               The heart is so fragile

that it’s so easily broken.

Love is what it longs for.

In everyone there’s a need and a void

that needs to be filled.

Love is the foundation of any happiness.

Our past can control us,

our regrets and bitterness of heart.

Regret comes from our wrong choices;

bitterness comes from choices

other people make.

Bitterness can turn the mind into

a black hole of anger and revenge,

from which it’s hard to escape.

The bitter person thinks only

the hurt caused, the wrong done,

the pain inflicted.

Bitterness poisons the soul.

It also poisons everything else,

ruins health, destroys relationship,

punishes friends and enemies alike,

wrecks havoc wherever it goes.

 

 

A bitter person feels it’s all so unfair.

Yes, it’s unfair; the pain is real.

But being right does not make

a person happy.

Bitter people may be right,

but they are also lonely.

They may win in a court of law.

 

But is being right worth it?

Is it worth the price paid

in loneliness and obsession?

They have spent many wasted years justifying their bitterness.

 

 

 

We live in a fallen world,

and people are imperfect and fallen.

It’s difficult to trust humans

and to find true love.

We cannot change the past.

But nothing happens by chance.

It’s part of a big puzzle still unfinished,

which you cannot see.

In 20 years’s time, you see the blessing.

Have peace with one another. 

We still have a future and a calling.

We must find our purpose in life.

Look in the mirror

and see our weak points.

 

 

We are born into this world for a reason.

 

 

Search the truth and know our destiny.

 

 

With faith, all things are possible.

 

 

 

Loneliness

 I feel the loneliness of the ocean

as I sit by the shore

not a sound except the waves

against the rocks.real2me1

 I feel the loneliness of the prairie

as I view the vast expanse of the field

except for the mournful howl of the coyote

I feel the loneliness of the mountains 

 broken only by the sighing of the wind.

 

I think of the thousands in loneliness of solitude

In mental institutions and in prisons

I think of the thousands in great cities among the crowds

Yet walk in loneliness

without speaking a word

And inside him are found burdens

of grief, pain and anxiety

Only he alone knows

Sometimes you can be among friends

in a party and merry-making

but inside you feel lonely

an emptiness even friends can’t fill 

 

 But the loneliest soul of all

is the man steeped in sin.

Every sin you deliberately cling to

Is a mighty power in making you lonely

The older you get the lonelier you will be

Sin always separate and leads to loneliness

 

Hell is a place of loneliness and darkness

Sin always has been darkness

For those who travel the pathway of sin

There’s an engulfing pall of night

That isolates them from true fellowship

My old painful memories are fading away

I’m lost in words I cannot say

This morning as I wake up today

My eyes are pierced by the sun rays

To start a new day

newday

This broken heart can still survive

With a touch of Your grace

Shadows fade into the light

As You come by my side

When love comes inside

Can I see beyond the scars

And make it to the dawn?

Can I change the color of the sky

And start to feel alive?

Yes I can make it through the night

When love comes inside

Now that I have come this far,

Just hold on my dear

There’s nothing to fear

When love is near

I know Lord

People might had hurt and harm me,

But You’re different.

I will open up my heart to You

And trust You in my troubles

And You’ll see me through

As I wait patiently, not giving up on You

For it’s not an overnight thing

But to put You first in everything

And let Your love fills my emptiness

And give meaning to my meaningless life

And to bring healing to my emotions,

My mind and my inner being

Even to my body…all the scars

Remain but a distant memory.

Cold Mountain movie says, “You can grieve endlessly for the loss of time and damage done, for many things that happened. You can grieve on and on. You can grieve your heart out, and in the end, you’re still where you are. All your grief has not change a thing. What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost
