My Version of John 3:16

I asked Him: Who am I?
He answered me with John 3:16: I so loved you that I gave my one and only Son, that you who believe in me shall not perish but have eternal life.

He shined a new light into this verse. I always thought to myself that 'yea yea, He loves everybody and He's doing it for all of us in general.' And he said NO. Even if there's just me alone, He'll still choose to become human and to suffer and die for me so that I may live everyday of my life with hope, freedom and assurance of His presence. I can tell you it's so liberating!

For Malaysia:

The 1st Malaysian Youth Prayer Gathering was held on 19th July at Kluang, Johor http://mypg.wordpress.com/. God has Malaysia in mind for a national transformation. The oh-so-messed-up state of the country right now politically, economically and socially. I trust that a war has already been waged in the spiritual realm and manifested in the physical realm of the nation. So much fear gripping the hearts of the people. Lets not stop to keep our country in prayers. Even if we are not literally staying in the country but prayer intercessions know no bounds towards geographical distance.

Rev 4: 8(b) Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." It is God's desire to see the nation of Malaysia worship Him in unity even on earth as it is in heaven! Lets not be indifferent and ignorant as I was. God loves Malaysia that He came and die for the people, everyone of us.

We'll never know how much our simple prayer can do until we lift them up to God's throne.

What's On My Mind

So it's been a while since I last updated. I have this thought going on in my head. I might as well just share with you guys who are reading (no matter I know you or not). Quoted Wini: "I've got nothing to lose!"

My mind has been busy thinking these few days. Actively if you know what I mean. It's so easy to just get caught up in the wave of mundane routines day in and day out that the more I am accustomed to the way of life now, the more unwilling I am to change, well, to make changes I mean if need be. Am a creature of habit.

I have been sensing that this season or phase in my life will be a time of 'being' first and 'doing' next. Without having the right view of who I really am, my identity in Christ, how God look at me, which is what matters most in the end of the day, I cannot and He will not allow me to do His work. I've been chasing after the next 'destination' or 'thing' that I should do without even realising what and who I am doing it for. Going with the flow just ain't going to work for me anymore. More and more I feel like I have been wasting my previous life away. I'm not saying that people don't need to work and live normal daily lives. What I'm saying is in the midst of living our daily mundane lives, are we living for a purpose?

I'm so selfish in the way that I live. All I think about is ME, ME and more ME. Yes, with my uni application rejection, I'm desperate to look for a way out. I want to fit in and be like others. Go to college and graduate and find a better paying job and make my parents proud and stuffs. Please don't get me wrong, I do think they are good things to do in life if you have the passion for what you are doing and all. My point is, are you fulfilling your purpose in life? I know that I'm way tooooo far from even fulfilling 1% of my purpose. Really. Because I'm too busy thinking only about myself that I have no time to think about others - people around me and those who are yet to hear and know about a God who loves them and accept them just the way they are, that they don't need to be beautiful, successful, rich, intelligent, handsome, etc to be loved and accepted. He loves us just as we are, we DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING to gain His approval like how we do to please and impress our parents, friends and other people.

I pray for a revival in me, to love God and love people. That's what Christianity is all about. Not all the dos and donts and thinking I'm a cut above the rest! I'm too small-minded. There's so much more to discover and find out and tap into. I feel alive now. For a long time I have been dormant. Living but not actually living. I'm alright if you think I'm going crazy, in fact I'm happy that I finally started to dare to be crazy. Crazy after God and wanting what He wants for me and for the poeple around me.

It's time to ignite the passion!!!

Hillsong - Centre of my life

NUS Application Denied

Yes, people. My NUS application had been denied. I'm not sad. Honest. So please don't feel bad for me, ok? =)

The door to NUS is closed. Another will be opened. It might not be study. I don't know. No idea of what it is yet. I don't mind you keeping me in prayers, though...So that I will not miss out on what God has in store for me.

I want to live a full life. Fulfilling what I was made to do. What only I can accomplish. I'm sure there's something.

Here I go again in search for another piece of my life's jigsaw puzzles to fill in the gaps. The picture is not quite complete - yet. It will be an exciting journey.

Impending Hectic

You foresee a mountain of work coming your way. You know it and may even be able to identify what they are at this moment in time. They are pending and being held up behind the floodgates until the right time comes forth to unlock them and drown youuuuu......halp! (quote Angeline)

You feel busy, but just yet. How suffocating can that be?

P/S: No reply for uni application yet. Will blog about it once received.

Prayer S.O.S!

Please uphold Myanmar and China in your prayers. Myanmar had been strucked by cyclone and China by earthquake recently resulting in great casualties being recorded and the number is still soaring.

In China, many people are still missing. Many lost their homes. China is very open this time round to accept international aids from foreign countries and organisations. But still much prayers are needed.

Whereas for Myanmar, please pray that God will change the hearts of the military leaders as they barred and refused aids from countries outside. They even go as far as not issuing visas for people and relief organisations to enter the country. This is inhumane! Reports state that casualties is 100,000 and still on the rise due to eventual outbreak of infectious diseases, shortage of food, etc. Pray that doors will be opened so that relief efforts will reach the needy.

It's the least we can do. Please pray for them.

Saturday Afternoons

I remember the days I felt so excited about meeting you.

There's always this thrill that I had.

Counting down to the days toward weekends.

Saturday afternoons! The food, the games, the messages, the people and you...

The opportunity is around the corner to revive all that!

I shall grab it, oh yes, I shall!

Ignite that passion in me again, Lord.

To reach out to those you love.

Make me thy fuel flame of God!

I heart Asaph's Psalms!

Been reading Psalms by Asaph recently. So convicted. Such an honest man. Feel what he felt with all the struggles: envy, jealousy, doubts, questioning, comparisons, etc. Oh, how we tend to hide all these! Even to the extend when coming face to face with God, I sometimes still put on masks -acting tough and all. Must have looked pretty silly to God. Thank Him that he never ever overlook any areas in my life that need to be improved, such a faithful God. He who started a good work will carry on to completion, even God is working so hard for me, how can I slack then?

I love this relationship that I'm having. 24/7 access somemore, so blessed!

Picture of the day:

Oh yes, I am!

As promised but 48hrs late in delivery =P

Here's my update. It's a 'lil late I know, I said last weekend and it's Monday morning now. Pardon me :)

Dec' 07 passed by really fast. Lots of friends came over to Singapore for short trips and stuffs. Met up with them and had a mini marathon of outings back to back until the first week of Jan '08. Besides that, life's more or less progressing at the same pace..which is rather fast and without consciously taking note, this is already the 21st day of the new year. I still feel as though it's 2007. I still mistakenly write the year as '07 whenever I record the date..haha..

I'm going home for CNY this year! On the 3rd of Feb, for a week! It's been a year and a month plus ever since I last gone home. Miss home heaps, like never before...am all excited about it =) One thing I need to do before going home is to submit my uni application. Do pray for me will you? It's said that applicants will only be notified in May whether they are accepted or rejected, so it'll be a few months till I get to find out the outcome. It's dreading.

As for my work, God had pulled me through so far. Ever since I started in this job over a year now, I've been 'put to test', meaning the work that I took over from the previous employee turned out to be problematic all the time and case by case! My heart is always heavy whenever I step into the office every morning fearing that I'll get another 'surprise' again. It was the year of victory for our church last year, and victory comes only after a battle. It was literally a battle then in my work field..

This is a season whereby the whole of our church goes through the book of Psalm, one Psalm a day, to get intimate with God intentionally. I realise that it's the season for the Lord to work in me, before He can work through me. So many a times I prayed and asked the Lord regarding issues but I did not wait to hear Him answer, irony isn't it? Then when I see how the prayers of others get answered, I'll get jealous and bitter about it and start to lament and complain. I want to change. I want to know deeper of who God is and his heart. I want depth in this relationship and not mere worship by lip service anymore. I want to dwell in His sweet presence, in His sanctuary. To be sensitive to Him and be able to know that it's Him speaking to me and leading me, even for the slightest thing. And I know He will break me before He can mould me and shape me. And it will be painful and ugly, but I'm ready. No more excuses.

Be my witness will you? I know I'm not alone in running this race. Let us continue to bear witness to each others' lives. And I need to start by counting my blessings. I have been taking a lot of things in life for granted, as if they ought to be the way they are in the first place, and it's obviously not so when I look back.

Work-in-progress. I used to dislike this term so much you might not know. But it's so true. The work is on-going, every minute every second. There's never a moment He has given up on me and I'm forever grateful about that.
