1 Conrithians 1:27-29 [ 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. ] A month, it's as long as a month that I last did my quiet time. I was so filled with arrogance, self-confidence, I thought I can just go on without spending much of my time with Him. My life was in a total mess since then, in fact, it was a total mess from the very beginning. I doubted, therefore my prayers were not answered. I was so arrogant, He couldn't put His eyes on all the shameful things I did. But He never abandoned me, not even once. Instead, there was always His gentle voice whispering:" Come back my son, talk to Me!" Yet, I prayed insincerely, as morning prayers was not more than just a daily routine for me. I have to drag myself there, and...

Human's love, It fails. It comes out of desire. Out of conditions. Unfaithful. Unconsistent, it's like you're pulling "Love me not" petals. God's love, It never fails. Love you for you are who you are. Unconditional. He's faithful, for He loves you even if you failed Him miserably. Consistent, you'll find His love for you, 24/7. And we take His love for granted, just as I do...... P.s. I'm not critisizing anyone or anything(Cuz I did the same thing to Him), but something happened just stabbed my heart hard enough, I couldn't bear. Then, there was a voice, reminded me of Him, and all of sudden, I felt sorry for Him. He was waiting all the while, so I'll love Him just as I loved the person. He said:"I love you Son, I'm here waiting for you to come back." I just wanna lay my love on Him now, for He has done all the things for me just as I for her......

"Don't be so obsess with God" they say. How can I not be? He's just so great, you just can't stand on your legs, He should be praise, but there is no phrase. Nothing is impossible for Him, for Him, impossible is nothing. How can I not be? Praise the LORD!

I threw myself on my bed. My face was wet, tear tracks clearly seen. I couldn't stop crying. Every thought of mine stabbed me deeper, causing my tear to flow like a broken damp. I'm afraid that I will go There, where he will not belong. Out of love, I cried! I prayed so hard, pleading LORD to answer my questions:" Where were You when I needed You to defend me?! Where were You?! Have You forsaken me? Have You forgot what You promised?!" Doubts struck me hard enough, hard enough to crush my tiny faith, frayed into pieces. "Yea! Maybe he is right about You! You are just some lies told by some idiots! The so-called You Words is just a stupid book written by some nothing-to-do people. Why did I trust in You in the beginning? Shouldn't even have known You in the first place. Who am I praying to? To You or to something imaginative and doesn't even exist?! Talk to me! TELL ME!" "Who am I to You?! Your child You said. But will a Father not defend His chi...

Happy Father's Day!

Tonight, I watched a movie on TV2, it was about how a group of unlucky firemen risked their life in order to save victims from road accidents, suicides, and of course, fire. Towards the end of the story, the group of firemen (a firewoman) was trapped in a seriously burning factory. The fire was burning enormously fierce and the vision was poor. The fire reigned over the factory mercilessly, burning the place with heat, exhausting them. There was a scene where a fire hose with its water still turned on left spraying alone, unable to fight against the exploding fire and burned into ash. Two women were reported trapped in the factory. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Imagine yourself as the two women trapped in fire, helplessly, waiting for death, waiting to be devoured by fire. That describes Hell , in fact, Hell is far worse. If you are thrown into Hell by God , surely, there is only one option, eternal death . No other option. You will be spiritual...

I can't see what's ahead, Just plain dark. With tiny hope, I keep running. With tiny faith, I keep running. I am lost, In the mist of darkness. Can't see what lies ahead, Can't see what will tremble me, Can't see who will be there for me, Can't see which way I am going. I am longing for help, Waiting for someone to hold my hand, Pull me, Guide me. LORD , I am waiting, I can't see what You see. Don't fill me with doubt, For I am weak. Don't fill me with trails, For I am foolish. Fill me with strength, So I will be able to keep running. Fill me with wisdom, So I will be able to choose the correct way. Fill me with lights, So I will be able to see what lies ahead. Fill me with Yourself LORD ! So I will be able to know Your divine plan for me! LORD , let Your will be done, I'm here, Waiting, Longing for Your help. I'm here, Waiting, Use me!

"What are the factors that causes prayers go unanswered?" the pastor said. I didn't know "unforgiveness" is one of the factor, that's why most of my prayers go unanswered. I do have someone that I could not forgive, or I should say, a family that I could not forgive. It is kinda hard for me to forgive them, for all the damage and impact that they had cause to my family. Wrecking our house, threatening us, mistreating us. Matthew 5:23,24 ["Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. ] I can still remember the scene where they were wrecking my grandma's house. Using a 12lbs hammer, they knocked open the gate, inside, children and old folks, frightened. Fortunately, the thick wooden door held them from coming in. The husband of that family, he was like a mad co...

Today, 20 minutes before my tuition class ends, all of sudden, it rained cats and dogs (someone taught me this idiom, I hate idioms. Imagine-lah, if God send cats and dogs from Heaven , SPCA will be in big trouble, am I right? No wonder it is to describe a heavy downpour, it floods SPCA, haha!), I was like, "My Goodness, how am I gonna go home? Wonder she's home." So, for my and her sake, I prayed:" Father Lord , You send this rain Lord , will you stop it Lord . Stop the rain Lord , so that I will be able to go home without getting wet." Few seconds later, I doubted:"Is it really gonna stop?" Have you ever doubted His power? You always pray, and ask for something you want, then you doubt:"Will it come true?" Matthew 21:22 [If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.] Matthew 21:22 is one of my favourite verse. I always have them in my mind every time I pray. But, as normal, my weak, tiny faith had always failed me. I d...

Today, I walked around the corridor in front of my grandma's house. I was waiting for someone to call, or maybe, message me. I was troubled, not as troubled as the one I'm waiting for. My grandma's house is on the fifth floor, I can get a pretty clear view there. Someone was playing a kite, probably 300 meter or more away from my grandma's house. I thought the one playing the kite was kinda stupid playing in place surrounded by trees. I could see the kite floating up and down, powerless, helpless. In a narrow place like that, surrounded by tree, it's kinda hard for the kite to actually fly high. In the end, the kite got stuck on some branches, never came down again. In our life, sometimes we can find ourselves depart from a narrow place just like the kite. Peer pressure, financial, relationships, and etc. And when we depart from that point, we might face a lot of problems or obstacles, slowing us down, helplessly, powerlessly. Then when we started to find ourselves ...

Last night, I watched "Aladdin" on Disney Channel with my little cousin. (I put "with my little cousin" just to give myself an excuse to watch cartoons, haha!) I guess most of you watched "Aladdin" before. Frankly, I was a big fan of "Aladdin" since I was young. Especially the love songs and the magics that the Genie does . It was all about the fun watching it when I was young, but it all get so different when I have grown up. You know, as our mental begins to develop to be more mature, somehow fairy tales might give you more values than you get when you were young, no matter good or bad. I ask you a question, don't talk about Genie, God is more powerful than he is, if you are granted 3 wishes, what will it be? Most answers are, unlimited riches, hot wives and concubines, world peace, good health, no evil in the world (and three more wishes, haha!). Wishes are wishes, I can't judge whether these wishes are good or bad, only God can. I a...

God 's patience and perseverance had paid Him reward. Year 2008, my Form 5 year was the year I found Him and recognized Him . He sent me wonderful people to bring me nearer to Him . And it was all miracle how things happened. Abigail was the one He sent. And that was how my wonderful journey with Him started. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a miracle how I met Abigail . Somehow, you wouldn't expect to pick up a random friend and then develop into a strong friendship. I'll tell the story of Abigail and I much deeper because it was her who God sent and let me recognize Him . I still couldn't believe. It all started from a forwarded e-mail from Woo Xian Lum, a librarian. It was a mail about......well I call it spam. I opened and read it. I didn't give a damn about that mail anyway. When I was about to hit the [Back to Inbox] button, the word " Abigail " caught my sight. I don...

I moved up to Form 3. Chapel period was getting bigger for me. From Wesley Tower's Multipurpose Hall, we moved to the church. The place got bigger and better, so was the preaching work. But I never listen. I was arrogant. Thought that I can handle anything. Only weak asses need Him , I thought. I used to sleep, I used to joke, I used to talk whenever a speaker or a preacher is speaking. I changed praises for God into vile, ugly words. I always turned Him down. He is great, surely He is. His grace, His mercy on me, is limitless. In spite of all the things that I had done to Him , He blessed me instead of punishing me. He blessed me with friends that I ever needed. In that very year I started Locasha , my first online chit-chat forum with 110 members in it. I became a webmaster that very year, not to say successful, but it was that online forum that God sent me friends and tied us up together. He blessed me with result of flying colours. I scored 8A's in my PMR that ver...

Today I was born, Today God blew in the breath of life on me, Just like God did to Adam. Today I celebrated, Today I blew the flame off the candle on the cake, Just like God did to Adam. Today I am blessed, Today God blew dusts and haze off me, Just like I did to the candle. Today I am more than blessed, To get to know that they care, To get to recognize myself, To get to recognize my LORD , To get the happiest day of my life. Happy Birthday, Kar Wai and thank You, Jesus ! I love You ! And so are you, my beloved friends. I dedicate this very poem: To my LORD who loves and blesses me abundantly, To Pooi San who organized and planned the celebration, To Wai Jeann&Lung Chuin who gave me a big surprize, To Ben&Voon Keong for that lovely handphone holder, To Chuan Zheng&Zhi Hao for skipping their tuition classes to celebrate with me, To Lap Bann&Voon Keong who came but didn't sing with us, To Abigail who rushed for the celebration and that lovely wallet. And to...

Exactly 17 years ago from today, I took my first breath on Earth. It was the day LORD brought me out on the Earth . I was larger in size compared to any other child in the ward. But He , the Almighty one brought me out of my mother's womb safely. I turned away from Him and sinned against Him ever since I was born. Even so, He blessed me abundantly. He raised me up through my parents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was a jerk when I was younger, during my primary education. I abused words , I abused my friends , I abused my freedom . Nobody liked me , even though they did not say it. My mom used to tell me complaints from other parents. It was all about complaints from their children about me. At that time, none of my friends actually celebrated a birthday with me. I used to shout around that it was my birthday , but when I realized nobody actually care, I kept quiet ever since. That was why I worked so hard....

i dragged my worn out body came to house of the vineyard owner i dragged myself towards the door it was small and narrow i knocked at the door no one answered i knocked again the door did not open again i knocked i could only hear the knocking sound here i knocked again He opened the door i asked can you help me? i'm thirsty i'm hungry i'm suffering here i have nothing He said gently I have nothing to give you But you can have my Son He is the water drink it and you will never get thirsty He is the bread eat it and you will never get hungry He will bring salvation receive it and you will never suffer again believe in Him and you will have everything [John 4:14 " but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."] [Matthew 26:26 "......Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it,......, "Take and eat; this is my body.""]

A young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time.When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or any expert who could answer his questions. Finally, his parents were able to find a scholar. Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions? Scholar: I am one of willing, I will be able to answer your questions. Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions . Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of God Young Man: I have 3 questions 1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape. 2. What is fate? 3. If Devil was created from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Devil and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far? Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard. Young Man(feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me? Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your th...

I walked forward, everywhere was bright, I could only walk forward. My eyes could not adjust to the brightness. As I continued to walk forward, my eyes at last could see something other than white. Many people was around me, whispering, talking. I had no idea where I was. Then, someone, or maybe two, talked behind me, familiar voices. I turned to see my father and mother talking to each over, they seemed to be very happy. My sister was holding me, she seemed nervous. I looked around, people seemed to be waiting for something. I had no idea where and why and how am I here? I tried hard to listen to others' conversations. "Where do you think you are going? Heaven or Hell ?" "Hey, they called your name, go line up!" "Yes! Yes! I'm going to Heaven!" I guessed a little, "so this is the place where we gather to go to Heaven and Hell ". Then, I saw a huge door. The door was enormously huge . It was a wooden door with dark brownish metallic bor...
