你是为了接受主爱被拣选的人
在你的生命中 接受那丰盛的慈爱
你是为了接受主爱被拣选的人

以主耶稣基督的爱 更多来服事你
我也愿向世界传扬神的爱

你是为了接受主爱被拣选的人
现在仍然接受 那丰盛的慈爱

Friendship

True Friends :)

wat's wrong with me lately?! i really dunno!! :( thoughts juz came in and out, and i really felt quite tired and frustrated with myself..

feel like finding someone to talk to.. but dunno who to find.. pple might not be free, pple might not be willing.. many thoughts juz came in.. so i chose to online, and see if i can find anyone on msn to chat with.. probably you might think that it's a way of hiding up? but i think it's a way for me to learn to open up myself.. :) thank god for providing me someone to talk to.. i'm glad that i chatted with this friend of mine..

below is part of our chat:

friend: haha~ i really think nowadays u're getting more open abt ur feelings and ttz gd for u
me: wat makes u think so?
friend: hmmm i oso dont know.. juz a feeling
me: hahaha... i think it's a good sign for me
friend: yep yep.. give urself a pat on ur shoulder!
me: i think pple really need to be more open up to others too.. else it's difficult for ownself, it's difficult for others too
friend: yep, i agree.. and u're improving which is gd cox not everyone can do it

i was very happy to have this conversation with my friend.. at least i'm know i'm really taking out actions to do wat god is teaching me and wants me to do.. be open and true to him, to people and to myself.. i believe tt no matter wat happen, he wont give me things that i cant bear..

i think many of us have a lot of friends.. but not many of us will have a lot of TRUE friends.. i think true friends are really hard to find.. it's really not easy to find someone who you can comfortably talk to about ANYTHING, including ur problems.. someone who is willing to share with you about their life, their problems.. someone who is willing to listen to you.. someone who is willing to accompany when you needed someone to be by ur side.. even if they dun know wat to say at times, or nothing to say at times.. i feel that it's ok.. it's the company they have for u tt really counts.. true friends need not talk a lot at times, but will still be able to feel each other by hearts.. it's the hearts tt talk.. :)

thank god for putting many true friends by my side.. i felt so blessed! :) and i really appreciate and thank god for each and every one of you.. i pray tt our friendships will really continue to stay strong.. i know it's not easy to maintain a good relationship with people, but i will try my best to put in the best effort i can to keep and maintain each and every relationships i have.. god please help me! :)

Be Willing And God Will Open Doors For You

if you're willing, god will open doors for you.. :)

this is wat i've learnt over the past 1 week plus.. the willingness to do something for God will determines wat God will do for you too.. if you're willing to take out a step of faith, God will be willing to open doors for you.. :) turning back to him, focus on him, and be willing to take actions for him.. :)

recently, god has been dealing with me on relationships with people.. and i see that if i'm willing to put in the effort in maintaining a good relationship with people, he open doors for me to do so.. sometimes i juz feel quite distant from my parents, and god let me notice that the problem lies with me, not them.. when i reach home, i will just walk straight back to my room and on my laptop.. i did not make the effort to try to spend time with them or communicate with them.. but when i'm willing to change, willing to start trying to put in efforts to rebuild a good relationship with them, i see how god leads me and gave me the opportunities to do so.. :)

i once made a prayer to god.. i told him, please use me as a channel to bring people back to him.. please guide me and lead me in doing the right thing for him.. and yes, god listens to my prayers.. he never forgets wat i told him.. i may have forgotten wat i had told him before, but he will remind me instead.. :) i made the same prayer to him once again few days ago.. and he's guiding me and opening doors for me to do wat i have prayed for..

god is good.. other than rebuilding a good relationship with my parents, i also saw how god helps me to get connected back with friends that i've not met up for a long time, and build up a better relationship with friends that are still in touch quite often.. :) recently, i've learnt how to be more open up to people, i've learnt how to take the initiative in dating my friends or even starting a chat with them.. it's a breakthrough for me as i'm quite a quiet and passive person.. :p

i noticed that i do have many good friends around me and i need to continue to put in effort in spending time with them.. maintaining a good relationship with people is a 2-way thing.. it takes effort from both parties.. it may be juz sending a short sms asking them how are they, or meeting up for a short lunch/dinner, or having a short msn chat, or calling them up for a short catch up, it's all ways to get ourselves connected with them.. they might not be responding to us as actively as what we want, but all these are ways to show that we still care about them, we still love them, we still remember them.. it doesn't takes up a lot of our time.. it's the effort and thoughts that really counts.. :) who knows, one day we might need them to encourage us, to support us, to let us know tt we had not been forgotten too.. :p

juz do watever that is within our own abilities and capabilities, for wat we are doing, god sees it and he appreciates it.. it might juz be a little action from you that can change someone's life! we wont know, but god knows.. 试试看， 做做看，一定行！

Fear Not, For I Am With You!

it's really not good to have too long a break and got nothing in mind!

for the past 1 week, life was a complete misery for me.. negative thoughts just kept coming into my mind.. i felt really lost, really tired.. it’s a real torment.. was struggling to get things sorted out.. cant find any peace and joy.. felt super uncomfortable that i really got the thought of going back to my old self, felt like hiding myself up.. it's to an extend that when you want to find someone to tok to, there is no one around.. and if there is someone for you, you juz dont feel like toking.. :(

it’s juz like you had put on the lock, and it’s juz a step away to either remove the lock or lock it and that’s it! it's a really really tough process to go thru, as the outcome of both action will be completely different.. at times, it just seems like i've already gotten over things, but the fact is, i had not completely got over, and negative thoughts will juz come and go as they wished to..

really thank god he had never forsaken me and never leave me in my toughest time.. in fact now i really know why we will have to go thru such tough process at times.. sometimes we are juz to complacent with our present life that we may had forgotten about god’s goodness to us.. and at these times, god will let us go thru sufferings to remind us to go back to him, to remind us how weak we humans can be.. it’s even to the extend that we can feel really helpless and all we can do is to cry out to him and seek him.. :)

i guess i had already completely get things over, and had learnt many things thru this process.. god reminded me and teaches me many things over the past 1 week.. haha.. i give thanks to him that it’s only 1 week and not 1 month, or even up to 1 year.. :p

few things that god taught/ reminded me:

1. how to be more open up to him and to others
2. how to look at things from different perspectives
3. how to seek him and feel his presence
4. we need to spend the effort to take some actions to see things changed
5. have faith in him and not doubt him
6. the harder it is, the greater the glory
7. for all things that happen, it happen for a reason.. and ultimately it is to glorify his name
8. dont think about what others think, juz do the right thing for him
9. juz do things that are within our abilities and capabilities, for whatever we do, we are doing it for him.. he sees and appreciate wat we do..
10. always know that he is in control of all things, and he has his best timing and plan for all things..
11. he really understands and knows wat we are thinking and how we are feeling, juz got to fix our eyes upon him, open our hearts to him, and follows wat he wants us to do, and he will open his doors for us..

experienced his goodness to me yesterday.. went to airport with angie, esther, sarah, and weiying.. when i’m on my way home, was feeling a bit tired.. got the urge to take a cab home.. coz wat i have in mind is to get home fast! haha.. in the end, i did not take a cab.. took mrt to kallang to change bus.. while i was walking to the bus stop, i was hoping that i will not wait too long for my bus to come.. so i juz made a short conversation with god.. i said that, god if u are really good to me, please let my bus come juz as i reach the bus stop, so i do not need to wait so long for the bus to come.. and when i juz reach the bus stop, i turned around to see if there’s any bus coming, i saw my bus.. at that moment, i was so shocked that there is nothing i can do or think but to give thanks and praise him for his goodness! that’s not the end.. haha.. when i board the bus, i told god, please let me reach home by 1045pm.. and when i reach home, it’s not even 1045!! haha..

well, all i can say is.. he really listens to every single little things we said.. even if it is the smallest thing, he still listens to us.. all we have to do is to pray and have faith in him, juz believe and not doubt! :)
