"Do not fear of those things which you are about to suffer... Be faithful until death, and i will give you the crown of life"
WOW. This verse speaks a lot to me. Even though I am not worthy of things in life. God still saves me, How COOL is that huh. Well yeah, that's my God and I wish to boast about him throughout the whole of my life. Its is actually hard to be faithful until death, it may actually seem impossible but IT IS NOT. Why? Because of one simple reason, we have Jesus. But I am really not worthy of what He does for me you know. And i realize one thing that is really blocking me from drawing close to him and that is self-infatuation. I care so much about my outer look that sometimes I choose to forget what God has done for me by giving me all the pretty stuff on me. It is really not rightful of me to claim any credit for it but I am just thankful for it. Especially when i choose to chug my problem one side giving excuses that because I need to focus. I should deal with it shouldn't I? Give me strength Jesus to walk this path. No matter how painful it is to me right now, I know I will reap the benefits of it someday, and God approves of that. So help me O Lord, you know my hearts deepest desires. Forgive me because I really do not want to do this anymore. I need to learn how to treasure the relationship with you more than anything in my life. Don't let anything in life cloud my vision of you. You know it's difficult Jesus but I am weak and you are strong. Help me know I can utilize the power in me Lord that I may conquer all this in Your Mighty name! Amen~
Now on to talking about my week. Well, one word, AWESOME. Because I had Jesus with me! And i choose to feel so. I have not been especially close with God because of what is happening around me but it is all my own fault. I am sorry Jesus :( please forgive me. I have sinned and i want to sincerely repent. Take me back into your courts where all sing of your praises. But what is the best thing is that, during the papers. Although i do not know how to do a certain number of sums and questions, God helped me write what i needed in the very last minute. I started to write really fast and the information just came to me suddenly. Although I didn't get to check for careless mistakes, I am sure that it will be ok. I have received His blessings so much that i might overflow! So i need to spread this blessing Jesus. Help me to think of names that I should invite to this camp. That they will be ready to accept you when the time comes. Help me to be sure of that name and not because of my own desire to pull someone back to Christ. It would be futile if this is so. I need your power to show me clearly dear Lord to ask the person you want me to. Tug at my heartstrings and i will choose to pluck up my courage to do it. So back to the topic, i think God has been really good to me throughout this exams and I pray that i would be mindful of Him like how He sees me through all this. Thank you once again for everything and I wouldn't have it otherwise.
Lord i also want to dedicate this to Karishma. She has been really heartbroken because of the rejection. Well, i know it is because your plans for her are yet to come to pass. So keep her hopeful Jesus, that you may light her way to life. The one that she has been yearning for and that you may bless her with the comfort to walk through this journey with you. I pray that she will not feel so awkward in service when with him so that she will be able to seek you out :) Stay with her really as my heart goes out to her. I pray that her blessings will be double-portioned because she is really in need of it now! Thank you for always blessing her! I really love her and i know you love her more than 10 times!
I pray for Amanda as well that she will be able to know that you will be with her through the last papers and that She will walk with you till the end of it. Help her to keep her mind focused on you before anything starts. I know she has faith in you and feels greatly for you so keep her on her toes and let her soak in your Mighty presence always :)
I also pray for Elisheba that she will stay close to you throughout this period because You love her as she is and do not want her to stray form you O Lord. She is a really cute and sweet girl so I pray you will be with her all the way throughout her life that she may stay true to herself and you always :)
I pray for Jacey also (although my heart feels weird saying this but) that she will be able to overcome her circumstances and praise your name like everyone does. She is having her own struggles and I have not been exactly encouraging but whatever it is. Help me to control my emotions and take her step of faith to help her out. Like i always say to put aside my feelings and Let God, yes i shall do so. Thank you for her presence and i pray that in due time we will be close to you as one like how we used to before. But i just thank you for the work you have done in me that you may continue till all jealousy is gone. I can do this because your love is greatest of them all.
Lastly, Neo Shu Qi. I pray for this girl that she will turn back to you God. And let her come to know that church should be her priority always. I pray that throughout this holidays that is to come that she will not go astray with the fun you blessed her with but turn her eyes upon you once again O Lord. Thank you for bringing her into my life and i pray that she will hold onto you tightly and be faithful till death.
Thank you for my blessing my friends as well!!!!!! Because of you I believe they felt peace and serenity because you calm their nerves unknowingly. But when the time has come I pray that you will guide them into your Presence whether is it through me or someone special in their lives. I pray you will rise up Christians to do their work foe you Glory O God. Thank you for all that you have done!
I really love you Jesus for doing so many good things in my life and may i be allowed to praise you to eternity because only seeking you is the greatest comfort i will get in life on Earth. Call me to do your work and may i be prepared to work it hard for you till the day i see you again, and let be be faithful unto death as i focus on what is unseen and not seen as what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal! Amen~
Through the stress and strain of life
My tread of faith may break,
The cable of God's faithfulness
No one can ever shake
-Anon
