*+_Praise † Grace_+*

He gives me strength when I am weak, His love endures forever. He anoint my lips, and in a thousand tongue I speak, His love endures forever. He instill fear in my heart, and I fall in reverence of His presence, His love endures forever. He gives me wisdom when I am foolish, His love endures forever. He inspires me to do great things, His love endures forever. He creates and never forsake, His love endures forever. He promises and never fail, His love endures forever. He carries me when my feet cannot, His love endures forever. He disciplines me when I am beyond control, His love endures forever. He leads me back when I am lost, His love endures forever. He is my light in the coldest night, His love endures forever. He is my lover and loves me when I am not, His love endures forever. He is fair and just, His love endures forever. He is graceful and merciful, His love endures forever. He is never changing nor casting a shifting shadow, His love...

For a moment I thought I would never have to write this. Apparently, the end of the world didn't come as Hollywood expected [well, they didn't think it would come anyway, they continued their American dream chase as they did.]. And so at the eve of 2012's ending, let's lay out some New Year resolutions: To preach in churches, especially PBBC, my University church. I think I'm ready to take my service further. To really focus on things that really matter, to juggle between reaching out to people more in need, Need to realise that I can't do everything. To be a little more mature and wise in my daily interactions with people. I need to make less unfruitful and disgusting jokes. To wait patiently for the Lord to say I'm ready to commit in a relationship, no more mental jumping and desperate hopes. To focus on serving the Lord. To set apart at least RM700 from my next semester's PTPTN, live in a tight budget, to fund my future missions. To set apa...

It was THANKSGIVING!!! Our prayer coordinator, Jason Lim, who never cease to surprise me, came out with the idea to write down things we are thankful for to replace Psalm 136, and so voila! For all answered and unanswered prayers, His love endures forever. He anoint my lips and in a thousand tongues I speak, His love endures forever. Thank you for giving us Jesus, His love endures forever. Thanks for giving me true joy and peace which men cannot give through the servings and distribution of gospel flyers. His love endures forever. Thanks for letting me to experience Him in every single things in each of my daily lives. His love endures forever. Thank you Lord for your forgiveness, His love endures forever. To Him who is ever-faithful even when I am not, His love endures forever. Who gave me a family when I am far from one, His love endures forever. Who always just send someone, something to cheer me up when I am down, His love endures forever. Th...

ODB 25 Oct 2012 The author said:"...Sometimes the busyness of everyday life blocks our view. We take for granted His amazing work in our lives. We lose the wonder of the cross. We lose the wonder of the cross. We forget the privilege of being His child. We neglect the pleasure of His presence and miss the beauty of His creation. What can I say? Nothing, because Iam at fault here. Just last night there was so many grudges in my heart. I felt like the whole world is against me. My heart was cursing at everything and it burns with ander, which is fear and worry in disguise. I realise I was worried because I don't trust God. I blame God for such ugly situation. While all things came like a tsunami, I forgot His splendor. I forgot that my God is was bigger than this. I forgot that my God is more than able in this. Defeated. I realised I did not enjoy. In the midst of all these I entrapped myself with expectations of achievement. I was not set free. How can I enjoy when I...

ODB 23 Oct 2012 The journey back from workshop was a terribly long one. Lamentation 3:15,17&18 best describe my feeling:" He has filled me with bitter herbs and given me gall to drink......I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is. So I say:' My splendor is gone and all I had hoped from the Lord." I really wished my dad would love me the way he loves others. As I was talking to my mom and she tells me all that my dad suffered outside my house, she also tells me the sentimental part of my dad whom sound strange to me. The cheezy, loving, gentle dad is not the dad that I know. Ever since young I'm dying to live out to be a son after his heart, but it never seems enough. Even that lazy, worthless uncle of mine seems to get more defending praise than I do. I really don't know what my dad is expecting of me, the impossible? The sole reason why I would be jealous of my sister ever since young was because dad praises her even if she...

ODB 22 Oct 2012 There's a thousand things that I ought to give thanks, more than what my mortal brain can recall. But it's funny that I don't do it often enough. Today alone I have so many to give thanks to God. When Pei Juan of 1st year texted that she would be able to join Family Camp, I shouted for joy. I thank GOd because that really lifted my spirit. I thank God for getting rid one thing that had been bothering me. Wang Ching wanted to come for Family Camp and his Islamic background put me in a dillemma. While we were squeezing our brain trying to weight good out of the bad, Wang Ching decided that he wants to celebrate Hari Raya Haji. A part of me feel sorry that he couldn't make it, but a bigger part of me felt relieved that I have one less thing to worry about. I thank God for dinner tonight, for he blessed Gilbert so much to bless me a dinner at Shnagri-La. I thank God I could dig out some time to come for today's devotion. I thank God for the place ...

OBD 21 Oct 2012 Today as I went through YouTube for some voting videos as preparation for MAD Week, I stumbled upon a clip that broke me into tears. My soul is weary and all that Jesus asks of me is to hold on. But the storms come and the rain hits, I feel tired. If Jesus is to declare today "harvest day", I would want Jesus to find me still holding on to direct people to Him. If He is to ask me to present each fruit that I have gathered, I would like to present my peace, kindness and self-control. So let me sow to the spirit and reap eternal life. Therefore, to remind myself, I ought to test my own actions, without comparing myself to someone else. In all that I do, I should ask myself, "Am I sowing to please my flesh or the Spirit? Am I going to reap destruction or eternal life?" Let me not be weary in doing good, for at the proper time, I will reap a harvest if I do not give up.
