Christ's Love

God is with you always!

What God said to Moses, he says to you: “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest” (Exod. 33:14 NIV).

What God said to Jacob, he says to you: “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Gen. 28:15 NIV).

What God said to Joshua, he says to you: “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Josh. 1:5 NIV).

God is with you always! =)

So blessed thus far!

I thank God for a lot of things this semester even though along with it comes some trials.

I am blessed to be able to tutor two kids. Not only do I have income, I find fulfillment from it too. My P5 tuition boy lives near my house and I tutor him on weekends. I believe God wants be to go home weekly and be with my parents. The boy's dad is quite nice and the recent mooncake festival, he blessed my family with mooncakes from Hongkong. He said they were different from the normal ones. My PSLE girl is the happy-go-lucky type and I enjoy tutoring her. Sometimes her cheery personality makes me laugh. The coming children's day is my last session with her. I chatted with her mum a few minutes ago. Luckily this week is mid-sem break for me, I can have more time for her. I believe she will at least get a B if she put in more effort this week. Her mind is on the games after PSLE. A happy kid. May God blesses them and uses me to lift them up academically and spiritually.

And I am more focused on my work and I enjoy them this semester! Halleluyah! On the learning mode.


Thank God for the people that I have encountered! =)

My cousin's wedding is on Friday. Hear the wedding bells! It keeps ringing these few months. May God blesses the couple.

(=^-^=) yea~*! And may God blesses me abundantly too! Especially this mugging season! May I have Creativity, Happiness, Energy and Wisdom to chew my lecture notes!!!

May God blesses you!

God, please grant me wisdom, creativity & energy to do my work! =)

Yours sincerely,

Like eagles

-Don Moen

O my soul
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
It's been told form the beginning
The Lord your God is on your side

O my soul don't be afraid
Hope in the Lord
By His righteousness and power
He will strengthen
He will guide

Chorus:
And I will soar
On wings like eagles
Held by the hand of God
I will run and not grow tired
When on His name I call
For the Lord is never weary
His ways are beyond my thoughts
I will trust in Him
With all my heart
(Repeat verses and Chorus)

And I will rest upon His promise
Patiently I'll wait...
(Repeat Chorus 2 times)

I will trust in Him
With all my heart

And I will rest upon His promise
Patiently I'll wait...

May Your Presence Go With Us

-Don Moen

If Your presence doesn't go with us
Lord we don't want to leave this place
Lord we need You near
As we go from here
To lead us by Your love and grace
May Your presence fill us every day
May Your Spirit lead the way
Lord to You we call
Let Your glory fall
And may Your presence go with us

If we have found favor in Your sight
Show us Your ways O Lord
Cause we want to know You
And live in Your light
For all of our days
Show us Your ways

We have our hopes
And we have our dreams
But we cannot go
Where You will not lead
Lord to You we call
Let Your glory fall
And may Your presence go with us

Legacy

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

2 Corin 10:5 (NIV)

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Some thoughts

Hey, I have an open book test later. At least 50% prepared. I was tired in the morning and I set about praying and I took a nap for a while. I thank God for renewing my spirit and I am refreshed once again. I find that my relationship with God is strengthened, especially in adversities. He always turned them into something beautiful. In the process, I find myself more outward looking instead of inward looking. As I treasure the intangible good qualities, I find myself being content and rich in every way. And he who is faithful with little, the more will be given. I am thankful.

Some interesting quotes...

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. -David Brinkley

My success can be achieved only with others.

My lessons can be learned only from others.

My weaknesses can be strenghtened only by others.

My servanthood can be tested only under others' leadership.

My influence can be compounded only through others.

My leadership can be focused only on others.

My best can be given only to others.

My legacy can be left only for others.

So I should commit myself to and celebrate with others!

-John Maxwell

Lets not forget to entertain strangers through small acts of kindness for by doing so we may entertain angels without knowing it. And of course, treasure the people in our life for they are teachers to us in some way.

Just some thoughts. Cheers~*

Bring it all to Jesus

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
-Proverbs 16:3

If We Hold On Together

-Diana Ross
Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

Here In My Life

-hillsong
I have never walked on water
Felt the waves beneath my feet but
At your Word Lord, I’ll receive Your
Faith to walk on oceans deep

And I remember how You found me:
In that very same place
All my failing surely would've drowned me
But You made a way

You are my freedom
Jesus you’re the reason
I’m kneeling again at Your throne
Where would I be without You
Here in my life, here in my life?

You have said that all the heavens
Sing for joy at one who finds
The way to freedom, truth of Jesus
Bought from death into His life

And I remember how You saw me:
Through the eyes of Your grace
And though the cost was Your beloved for me
Still you made a way!

Acts 17: 24-28

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said," We are his offspring."

-Amazing!-

Think on these things...

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.


9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

-Phl4:6-9 (KJV)

As The Deer

As the deer panteth for the water,
So my soul longs after you.
You alone are my hearts desire,
And I long to worship You.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.

I want you more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.

You're my friend and You're my brother,
Even though you are a King.
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything.

Chorus
You alone are my strength, my shield;
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my hearts desire,
and I long to worship You.

You Rescued Me

-Hillsong United

You rescued me and picked me up
A living hope of grace revealed
A life transformed in righteousness
O Lord You have rescued me
Forgiving me, You healed my heart
And set me free from sin and death
You brought me life You’ve made me whole
O Lord You have rescued me

And You loved me before I knew You
And You knew me for all time
I’ve been created in Your image O Lord

And You bought me, and You sought me
Your blood poured out for me
A new creation in Your image O Lord
You rescued me, You rescued me

You rescued me and picked me up
A living hope of grace revealed
A life transformed in righteousness
O Lord You have rescued me
Forgiving me, You healed my heart
And set me free from sin and death
You brought me life You’ve made me whole
O Lord You have rescued me

And You loved me before I knew You
And You knew me for all time
I’ve been created in Your image O Lord

And You bought me, and You sought me
Your blood poured out for me
A new creation in Your image O Lord
You rescued me (x6)

Joy

A joy shared is a joy doubled. -Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Philippians 2:14-16

"Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life..."

James 1:4 KJV

But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Be a people lifter

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise you Father in heaven.
-Matt 5:16

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, " He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night,

nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

nor the plaque that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

ten thousand at your right hand,

but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes

and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you make the Most High your dwelling-

even the Lord, who is my refuge-

then no harm will befall you,

no disaster will come near your tent,

For he will command his angels concerning you

to guard you in all your ways;

they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread upon the lion and the serpent;

you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

"Because he loves me," says the Lord,

"I will rescue him;

I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name,

He will call upon me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him

and show him my salvation."

On The Side of Me

By Corrinne May

[ This is a nice song! I am thankful for the ones on my side. At times I don't show enough appreciation but deep down I want you to be blessed. May I be on the side for those closest to my heart as well. Let's take a moment to be thankful and cherish those who add to our lives. God bless you! ]

I’m not the easiest person to love
I’m often the one who lets things go unresolved

Yet you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
Yet you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me

I’m not too proud of some things
I’ve done in my life
The skeletons in my closet
Are too big for me to hide

Yet you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
Blessed Charity
You’re on the side of me
on the side of me

Everyone needs a friend to hold
when it’s cold outside
and there’s no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
all alone I cried
there was no place to go
I remember when nobody cared
but you

I’m not the easiest person to love
But you, you’ve opened your heart to show me what I’m worth

‘Cause you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
What a mystery
You’re on the side of me
on the side of me

Everyone needs a friend to hold
when it’s cold outside
and there’s no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
all alone I cried
there was no place to go

I remember when nobody cared
Nobody cared
But you…

Yeah you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
