Give Me Life In Thy Way

By -
O Lord God Almighty,
Give me life in Thy way.

Give me a spirit that is poor,
That I may rely on Thee,
And may I inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Give me a heart to mourn,
THat my heart may be broken for pain and injustice,
And may I be comforted in Thy embrace.

Give me a life that is meek,
That I may be gentle and compassionate to others,
And may I inherit the earth Thou created.

Give me a thirst for Thy word and a hunger for Thy righteousness,
That I may walk upright in Thy golden pathway,
And may I be satisfied in Thee my Provider.

Give me a capacity for mercy,
That I may forgive and forget transgressions against me,
And may I be forgiven in my sins against Thee.

Give me a heart that is pure,
That I may not set my eyes on vanities,
And may I see Thy glory with blazing sight.

Give me the power to make peace,
That I may live in peace in the land of hostility,
And may I be called Thy son by Thy sweet voice.

Give me righteousness and strength in the midst of persecution,
That I may stand firm in my scorns and sufferings,
And may I rule along Thy side in Thy kingdom.

Give me blessings when I am scorned, accused and killed for Thy sake,
That I may rejoice and be glad to share the fate of the prophets,
And may I be greatly rewarded in Heaven.

Give me a body that is saltiest of all saltiness,
That I may do good to the world and not lose my worth,
And may I not be thrown out or trampled by men.

Give me a light that is glorious,
That I may be a city on Zion,
And may I not be overcame by darkness.

Father, let my light shine before men,
That they may see Thy good works,
And may they praise Thee in Heaven.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 5. Project Kwam Wang - Sabaidee, Laos! I don't think I can ever say this enough: Laos is an unforgettable nation, mainly because of the unforgettable journey that God had taken me through. The initial idea was to paint a school building in Vientiane, but imagine our shock when the team saw a building with 2-walled rooms. Instead of complaining, the team quickly came together to lay bricks and cement. 5 days later, we have classrooms with 4 walls and whole school of happy children. The highlight of the trip came later. To catch our flight in Lua Prabang, we took a 6-hour bus ride into Vang Vien, a magical, spectacular heaven-on-earth. The 2-hour tubing experience to enjoy the peace and scenic view of Vang Vien mountain range, the lovely morning breakfast with a morning sunshine and green mountains. It was a great time of serenity and reflection. Then another 6 hours of bus ride across the mountain into Lua Prabang. Tasted on

Stand for Judas

By -
You know, there was once my sister told me when I tell her the story of "The Last Supper":"Yer! Why Judas Iscariot so bad one? Betray Jesus ( with a kiss )!" I did not answer her question, I did not know how. I got the answer lately, the thinking somehow struck my mind. Some people might say Judas is bad , taken over by devil. But I think he is quite a brave man actually. If he did not sell Jesus out, Jesus could not carry out His Father's plan. He was actually carrying out his mission that God gave him. And yet, after accomplishing his mission, he hung himself. Think about it, will you kill yourself after accomplishing a mission or successfully completed an important job? Well, even if I throw a knife to you and ask you to cut yourself would need huge courage ( Mrs. Ramani did this experiment before and I had seen it myself, even I would not cut myself ), prove me wrong! Not to say to praise him for selling the Son of Man out, but he deserves our little re

Heavenly Disconnected

By -
We were all happily chit-chatting (or yelling) at grandma’s house. My second aunt suggested that we go to one of her cousin’s house to visit them but unfortunately the cousin wasn’t at home so we had to cancel it. Then I suggested to visit my youngest aunt’s house with the urge to play some mahjong. My intention was to play only, I did not intend to involve money. We drove there in 3 separate cars with me fetching my sister only. As we reached there we got everything ready, the mahjong table, chairs and of course, the mahjong. I couldn’t wait for my elder cousin to come and join me for a 3-Players Cantonese Mahjong. Just to make it fun, I (while being a Christian) suggested to involve money. This is where the problem starts. I feel pride arise. Holy Spirit was prompting me not to play with money, in fact, the mahjong at all. But I ignored it on purpose but seek selfish desire for pleasure and greed. I won around RM10 with starting fund RM13. But I also get the sense of guilt.
