Do everyone has to suffer losses, before they realised they have taken things/ time/ people for granted?
I wonder why God made me go through so much, but when i try to advise people (who are digging their own graves), they end up still not listening..
Then i go through for what lei.......
sigh.. Life's tiring.. I'm quite tired of caring for others, but i cant stop..
The only day i stop is when i die.. only then my physical eyes will close, and my spiritual eyes will only look up to Jesus..
I need more strength loving children in my care...
Heeellppp...
Today I just felt like tagging along to tracting with the others.
It was fun, i got to pair up with a close friend, and she gave a few pointers on how to present the tracts so they will take.
Not only that, i guess being cheerful and smilng a lot helps.
We then proceeded to.a.nearby coffeshop to have light snacks.. At my table, there is an.uncle, dad of a friend of my, who is suffering from dementia. It touches my heart to see the young adults who spent time talking to him.
I dont understand the.condition, so i wont be giving any advice.
I noticed how others.kept asking him questions to keep reminding him of what he remembers..
I then asked if someone would forget about their salvation.. He said yes. Then I said, perhaps we should be reminding uncle of who Jesus is, and what He did. Our names wont save, names of fruits, objects wont save, only Jesus does.
Humans will fail, Jesus wont. It saddens me, when uncle mentions his doctor dont wants to talk to him. I guess the doc has his own issues that he has to handlr but uncle didnt knw of.
However, I'm glad the young.adults quickly asked him to share about his testimony, and if he remembers who Jesus is. It took quite some effort, im glad he could remember an I'm thankful to God for that.
Later, I went to the Library, and picked up a book on Jesus.. Got reminded that we are able to love, because He first loves us.
Without Him, what should all of us look forward to?
I cant imagine living entirely by my own strength in this life, it's impossible.
I thank God for giving Jesus,
He's my friend,
my teacher,
my mentor,
my Mastor,
my Saviour..
Before I knew Him, He has already knew me!
Imagine that?
The King of kings knows my name.. How important I am to Him.
God is good, amen!
It's so sad to see teachers minding their own business and not care to find out bout family backgrounds.
Any child who hits, shouts or behaves wrongly is immediately labeled as naughty, hopeless, ill-disciplined..
No one wants to know, or try to know how this child really feels..
No wants to find out how the child goes through those dreadful nights.
It breaks my heart when i'm asked why i scared my child when I told him, u have the choice not to fight and quarrel like ur parents did. Jesus loves you, and I love you too..
I'm lectured for using myself as an example...
Seriously? U weren't there seeing how dreadful and horrifying those nights were. You weren't there when my dad grabbed my mum's head and knocked it repeatedly against the sharp edges.
You weren't know who angry I felt, to the extend of getting a knife, with only one wish to end dad's life. And I was young, only 5.
If you don't understand a situation, best advice is to keep quiet.
Anyway, i'm just really glad i'm called here to teach, as i shared with my child, tears threaten to spill out....
I've forgiven, truly i have.. but those images are permenantly tattooed into my brain.
I thank God for Jesus who knew me.. who cared...
My real home has yet to come, i long to see His face. The One who cried along with me, the One who told me,
"I've got a choice to be His Child, He loves me, and He's waiting for me"

There are are rules in home, office. God also has rules for His family.
1st commandment, thou shall have no other gods besides me. God knows even if you r worshipping in secret, not to uphold anyone, even yourself.
2nd commandment, thou shall not make for yourself any graven image. God is a spirit, He do not need to be represented by any statues, He's bigger than any objects, we cannot limit Him in a statue.
3rd commanment has got to do with His names. We are not to take His name in vain. He has many names, Jehoveh Jireh, even Jesus' name.
The word "vain" means for evil purpose. Cannot use His name to tell lies. How? "I swear!" Bible says let your yes be yes, and your.no be no.. we dont need to swear, no need to challenge others to swear..
vain also means empty.. sometimes children use their fathers' name in vain.. example, child using their fathersz name to access, "my father say...." In english tv, western films, they will use "OMG!"
What is require:
1) Includes His title. eg. Bruce Almighty. this is God's title. like the group name ABBA.. Abba is a dear name to address our heavenly Father. Trinity is also another title being misuse.. in films or products.
2) God's house. In the bible, church refers to body of believers. They meet in houses of believers, as numbers grew, buildings were build and set aside for worshipping.. but we should.be careful not to set human rules.. some.poorer countries have no choice but to use it as a guest house for visitors.. be careful not to use it for anything else as well.. We can worship God anywhere. some places dont even have a place for worship.. we must be careful not to be too extreme.
3) Holy communion. Some mothers gave some of the bread and wine to their hildren to pacify them.. parents should be training
their children to respect.
some use church bulletines to gather lottery number..
some labeled thenselves as gods.. ..."
Had to leave because of my duty church...

justified by faith
Job 9:2 NLT
“Yes, I know all this is true in principle.
But how can a person be declared innocent in God’s sight?
Romans 5:1
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
Martin Luther read Romans 1:17
This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
and was convicted in his heart, and understand that we can be righteous by faith.
Are we sure of our salvation?
This is important because we must be sure and know where we're going...
In Romans 5:1,
Justification is the work of God, which will cause the believer to be convicted that he had sins, and repent and put his faith in Christ's work.
When we accepted Christ, God unconditionally accepts us as righteous. Its a one time offer, and not repeated or over a period of time, nor based on the number of good works.
Being justified by faith is equal to all believers. It doesnt mean a pastor or elder has more righteousness, every believer is sinner saved by faith.
After being justified, its for eternal, it doesnt mean that 2mr when i sinned, i'll lose my salvation..
being justified doesnt equal to reborn. Reborn gives a new life, being justified gives us a status as children of God.
we still have sinful nature in us,
therefore we have to walk closely with God, lest we be tempted to sin.
It is our blessing to.be justified by faith.. The devil would often would accuse us of not "working our faith", or our relatives or friends would do the same, we must remember, God will say, you are already justified by faith when you first believed and accepted Jesus Christ's work of salvation.
Once a person is truly saved, the Holy Spirit will guide us NOT TO SIN...
How did God justify us, sinners?
it doesnt mean closing both His eyes while we sin, but He's always watching.
Itzs by his Grace we are justified.
Romans 3:24 NLT
Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.

had to leave for lunch duty, gues the message is cleared enough.. God bless!
This has been my faithful companion to work.. thanks to the wonderful inventions of gears on mountain bikes, i could ride quite smoothly from home to work, and vice versa..
had to be careful at traffic junctions though, almost got knock down while crossing the zebra.crossing...
anyway, it takes me about 30 to work, and 40 min to home.. reason being, im awfully tired after work, and the paths goes uphill towards home..
But it has helped me sleep better at night, so i honestly have no complain..
till next time!
