Comfort

2005-03-19T07:50:00.000+02:00

A lot of my frens around me is having this dilemma about bgr.. especially this particular girlfren of mine.. she’s know better that we r not supposed to be unequally yoke but she just cant give up this relationship.. & the worst thing is now he’s starting it hit her.. n it really hurts me to hear that.. I understands how she feels.. when u really like someone u wont mind how much his hurts u. but if it’s the right guy isn’t he suppose to make us smile instead of making us cry?? Neway I read this particular book, God’s Inspirational Promises & hope that this may bring comfort to my dear sister.. pls pray that she would have enough courage to break this relationship & recommit herself to God..

Inspirational promises
About God’s Comfort
The Lord hears good people when they cry out to Him,
and He saves them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted,
and He saves those whose spirits have been crushed. Psalm 34:17-18

God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us. We share in the many sufferings of Christ. In the same way, much comfort comes to us through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Even if I walk through a very dark valley, I will not be afraid, because You are with me. Your rod and Your walking stick comfort me. Psalm 23:4

A note from Max
About God’s Comfort
They are historical moments in which a real God met real pain so we could answer the question, “Where is God when I hurt?”

How does God react to dashed hopes? Read the story of Jairus. How does the Father feel about those who are ill? Stand with Him at the pool of Bethesda. Do you long for God to speak to your lonely heart? Then listen as He speaks to the Emmaus-bound disciples...

He’s not doing it just for them. He’s doing it for me. He’s doing to for you...

The God who spoke still speaks... the God who came still comes. He comes into our world. He comes into your world. He comes to do what you cant. He Still Moves Stones

Father, You are God and Creator, but we come to You as children coming to their father, as children who would ask their father to hold and comfort them, hoping to receive words of wisdom.

Love

2005-03-06T23:26:00.000+02:00

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

This is a well-known verse to most of us. But do we really LOVE? Here, there are the do’s & don’t’s..

Do's
Patient
Kind
Keeps no record of wrongs
Rejoices with the truth
Protects
Trusts
Hopes
Perseveres

Dont's
Envy
Boast
Proud
Rude
Self-seeking
Easily angered
Does not delight in evil

These definitely are my everyday challenge. If everyone practices these, this world will be full of LOVE. But sad to say, I’m still not up to God’s standard. Still trying my best to live & practice His word.

Impressing ppl

2005-02-11T15:32:00.000+02:00

impressing ppl.. i guess some times i just cant help but feeling like impressing ppl around me.. but last week i heard a very good sermon.. this preacher said that it's God given personality that gals like to dress up & impress ppl.. or wants to leave a good impression.. BUT we dun need to impress everyone.. the most important is to be yourself.. i, for sure will prefer honesty than trying to fake it out so that it'll leave a good impression.. neway just wanna let u know that dun feel bad if u r not popular coz i'm sure there's someone who appreciates you.. n for all my family & frens out there.. if i never say it, it doesnt mean that u r not appreciated.. u wont know how much u mean to me.. love ya n may God continue to bless you!!!! *hugs*

Discipline

2005-01-30T04:30:00.000+02:00

DISCIPLINE.. i dun like this word... it sounds so formal, scary n it makes me uneasy.. so y am i talking bout it here?? i guess i just felt that it's time to start facing it.. the reason i always run from it is because i didnt want to get out of my comfort zone.. giving excuses is really easy.. n that makes mne feel better.. i get myself out of being guilty.. but i realised that it's starting to give me real serious problems.. like getting late for classes, missing some really important appointments.. missing datelines, n most of all disappointing ppl..

sometimes.. i'll tell myself that i need to be more disciplined n stuff but i nv got thru it.. i guess it was because i've been in it far too long that i can't change it just like that.. it's tough.. real tough.. i'll always regret after something happened but after that very minute i'm my old self again..

so wat can i do then?? i guess i'll need lots of encouragement.. i dunno.. i really dunno wat to do.. so pls do pray for me k?? i desperately need it.. n besides i guess i'm doing lots of thinking nowadays.. i dunno if it's good or bad.. but i hope everything happens for the better..

that's all for now.. tcare n God bless..

Blessings n Joy!!!

2005-01-16T23:54:00.000+02:00

blessings.. the past week had been "real blessing week".. u see blessings like rain.. u cant stop it nor can u control it.. some ppl might think that it's coincidence.. n for some that didnt get the blessings they want.. they might think that God had been unfair.. but wat i can say is.. He's ever living, real n just..

it was exam week n a lot of us was thinking of taking the short cut, some cutting the time with God.. there were a few times that i wanted to back out the very last minute.. not going to give my exam.. we can take our exams anytime we want as long as it's before due date since it's oral, 1 to 1 type.. there were a few times that i told God i really dowan to go for exam so i told Him that if it's His will, i'll be able to find my teacher.. he's a bz man.. running around 2 departments n since we were late on our exam (we were suppose to give it a month earlier). he sometimes just make us wait n disappear to somewhere.. my group mates have a record waiting 5 hours for him only to be sent home saying he's tired.. so i told God that if i dun c him i'll just leave the building n come back again.. but everytime i just happen to bump into him.. there was once his office was lock so i thought the chances of getting away was definite only to find him standing rite in front of me.. not only that.. he can still sit patiently teaching stuff that i'm not really good at.. it might sound normal to u but it's really something really rare here..

neway wat i've learn this past week is.. put God 1st n He will put u 1st.. the other thing is.. to multiply your joy, 1st count your blessings.. hope that God will continue to pour His blessings on u too.. tcare.. =p

hols n to serve others!!!

2005-01-09T21:35:00.000+02:00

it's been a week of hols ald.. but it doesnt really seems like a hol.. with exams to clear n helping melissa with her anatomy exam.. learned a lot thru the week.. everywhere i go ppl are constantly reminding me of God's grace n to trust God in everything.. i started to really commit things to Him.. oh something i learn from my bible study group.. it's from James 4:7-10

1. Submit to God
2. Resist the devil
3. Come near to God
4. Purify your heart
5. Grieve, mourn n wail
6. Humble yourself

it's been the guide line 4 me.. and for the 1st time i actually enjoyed serving others.. for instance.. i'll never willingly cook for melissa but within the past week i actually enjoyed cooking for her.. =p hopefully i'll continue to serve ppl..

The Quiet New Year Eve

2004-12-31T23:16:00.000+02:00

it's new year eve.. this year is surprisingly quiet.. i guess not only here in ukraine.. nobody will be in the mood of celebration with the tsunami hitting so many places at once n claiming so many lives. i really dun see a bright year ahead without God but i know God is ever present in this world, especially in my life, going thru everything with me even at times when i have neglected Him.. People around me is reminding me that the reason we're here is not just to enjoy life but it's to do God's work. constantly urging me to really spend quality time with God n doing God's work as the end of time is really near.. for the past months i've been struggling to spend time with God, talking to Him n reading His word. hopefully this new year will make a difference. i dun expect it to be a easy life but i really pray that God will see me thru especially times when i struggle to put Him 1st in everything n that He'll shower me with His peace n joy.. so happy new year n may this be a year that will glorify God in everything.. please do pray for me!! thx n God bless u too..

It's the end of the year!!!

2004-12-30T09:34:00.000+02:00

whew!!! there goes another year.. i used to love year ends n of course the beginning of another year with all the christmas, new year, chinese new year, hari raya n u name it.. all the hols n of course the new school year.. but this year it's totally different.. being out of school n the most important thing.. being far from home.. though last year was ald far from home but then it was like 'yeah!! finally, i'm out of home n into this 'adult's' world'.. but the fact is.. it's not as interesting as i thought.. if i'm given a choice.. i'll chose to stay home.. of course.. a lot of times things happen for the better.. i love the book of James.. especially during this time of trials n temptations.. it says that we're not tested for nothing.. n that comforts me a bit then it continued to say about faith which i always thought that i have plenty until now.. i realised that i havent been practicing like i should.. so hopefully this process of growing up will make me more complete.. n of course.. help me to put God 1st in everything.. winter break starts next week.. i hope i'll make good use of this 3 weeks to read more n think more.. come out with a new year resolution..

2004-12-14T23:12:00.000+02:00

Another boring week.. life was so meaningless.. study, exam, then study again then sit for exam again.. there was this point that i didnt even know wat i was studying n y am i studying.. UNTIL.. it suddenly hit me during the friday bible study.. God was telling me that i wasnt doing wat He want me to.. i'm not reaching out.. i'm not becoming a testimony to ppl around me.. i'm not even worshipping him whole heartedly.. neway the point was.. i dun live a life that's pleasing to Him.. it was after all these that i finally found the real meaning to life n to live life.. it'll sound weird if i say that i'm starting to really rely on Him.. i know i should have done it long long ago but i just fell everytime i try to do some.. so this time, i'll make sure i pray hard n really commit my life to God n put him 1st in everything.. really wanna thank God for all the things He've done for me n bless me with.. So 1 last word for the day.. God is LOVE n i love U LORD!!! :p
