No BIG movement so far but i can feel that God wants us..the youths to be bonded together..as in brothers and sister in a big big family..well that's what we are(in Christ)..and we should be reaching out too i guess..since there's goin to be a new UCSI building nearby..it could be that we are suppose to reach out there..who knows?and of course..the need of us to cling on to our bible mustn't be excluded or ignored..
above all, i personally(that means i don't know what the others think) feel that the youths should really be able to see that amazing truth..that God had died for us..of course i know that the youths all know about that and we had been told millions of times..but how often we always took that for granted(including myself)..1st, we have to know about it, not just know ABOUT it but to KNOW it personally..2nd, if we know it, we should be embracing that truth and live our lives around it..i mean there are many cases that you feel it personally and know it but yet you don't do anything about it..i think that we shouldn't take little things for granted..3rd, SPREAD the truth..
most importantly, i really pray and wish that the youths will live their lives for the glory of Christ..that their passion for Christ will grow and everything they do will be for the glory of Christ..i don't want this to be just a church thing, but rather it sinks deep into our lives..i really don't want them to feel like..(oh yes i heard that many times) or (yes la, stop it okay? i'm bored) or (who's this guy who thinks he knows alot and brag about it, whatever i want my life, boasting about christ? maybe later la,, i want to ENJOY my life first), or (get a life, that's boring)..because, the truth and the mystery of it is when God is most glorified our heart is most satisfied..when we live our life around it.. our heart is truly satisfied..i pray that the youths will be serious about their relationship with God..not just making it a Saturday Sunday thinggy..
Prayer: Lord Jesus, i just pray that You'll open up our eyes of our youths, that we may be able to see the truth that is in You.. We thank you Lord for dying for us on the cross.. indeed it is by your grace and mercy, by Your sacrifice that we may be able to even have each breathe we are having now..forgive us when we fail you, we confess to you that we are sinners O Lord, we thank You that even though we are failures and weak yet you still chose to love us..I just pray that Your hands will be upon the youths as we depend on You..heal each sickness we have for You are our healer..forgive me too..Lord i am not perfect and i sin too..but let me be Your servant..guide me..In the name that every knee shall bow, In the name that's above all name, it is in the name of JESUS i pray..
AMEN

It's been a while since i posted anything, reason remain hidden:P
anyways, Vacation Bible School just ended yesterday.. it was really awesome. The reason i said this was because it was a joy for all of us to serve and play and teach these kids about God and to spend time with them, really it was a joy for us.
Christmas is near and we are preparing for it, i hope the youths will find the true meaning of Christmas and what is these faith all about. This gift of love and how awesome it is to really be a servant of this one and only GREAT GOD. tat was one of my wishes as i gaze upon them up from the stage today and many other times. That the sacrifices i made would really bring them up and carry them to find the greatest treasure of our lives.

Tears
As i walk down the road of my life,
I realized that the road wasn't all dry
The paths that I've gone through sometimes
Was wet and damp
Filling every corner of this road..
As kept walking
The load that I have been carrying is heavier
And it's another day where i felt that pain again
What are these drops of water
that tried to held on to my cheeks
yet pulled down by gravity
slowly coming down to drop down to the ground
is this what that is known as tears?
Yet what is this heaviness that is in my heart?
As tears falls down my cheek
Even the rain starts falling from the skies
This weight, i could no longer bare..
I wish that i can find a place
Where i could be away from everyone
Wishing there will be peace and comfort as well
Yet hidden from the sight of man
Where is this place? is there one to be found?
I walked and walked..all alone..
I realized it wasn't a place that i am able to find
I kept on looking yet it's too heavy for me to carry it on
I feel my tears escaped from the flood gates that I've put on
As my heart could do nothing else but to cry out
I raise up my hands and lift them up
Opening them as if waiting for someone
I raise up my eyes and gaze at the skies
Hoping to hear the Voice of the Holy One
I cried out hoping
He would teach me what to do..
I cried out hoping that
He would stop this pain that's in my heart..
Yet as i turn back and looked upon the road that I've walked
I realized that the path that I've walk
Was a path that's so dark
A path that i wished I did not walked
I could do nothing else but to bow down my head
Feeling so unworthy of all things
I cried for forgiveness
Yet I realized that as if my knees are torn in two
Never ceasingly falling down
And just kept falling down
To the pit of darkness..
Again filled with unworthiness and shamefulness
I realized that the road wasn't all dry
The paths that I've gone through sometimes
Was wet and damp
Filling every corner of this road..
As kept walking
The load that I have been carrying is heavier
And it's another day where i felt that pain again
What are these drops of water
that tried to held on to my cheeks
yet pulled down by gravity
slowly coming down to drop down to the ground
is this what that is known as tears?
Yet what is this heaviness that is in my heart?
As tears falls down my cheek
Even the rain starts falling from the skies

Going through sufferings and pain..
Had you ever feel that sometimes you wished you could go back time, and wished you could do something to stop something you don't want from happening? Had you ever regretted that you did something wrong and wished you never done it? Had you ever wished that the very thing that's happening now would not had happen and you wish it's just a dream? Had you ever feel so useless and so angry at yourself for letting a certain things from happening? or.. Had you ever feel so bad and sad because of a certain things that happened?
i think all of us had that before, whether big or small.. things that we wished it wouldn't happen yet it happened.. And your heart it just feels so bad or sad or broken.. sometimes we may say it's alright but deep down our heart is hurting.. deeply hurting as if thousands of knife came piercing through your heart and crushing it and slicing it till bits and pieces.. that feeling of hurt that would come to everyone could be happening to you to me or to anyone around you..but no doubt..all of us will one day feel that pain.. It's just tough to handle this emotions sometimes, whether in or out.. it feels like crying.. either tears from your eyes.. or tears from your heart..
There are many many parts of my life that tasted like that too. it's hard to go through it..it really is tough..but let us stop here for a moment or two..cause there's something that's important for you..it may not be true for you..but it always helped me through:p..i think you would also wonder why that such things actually happens..and most importantly why did God let it happen? let's search for an answer for it...
Psalm 119:71
The suffering you sent to me was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your principles.
Psalm 119 was one of the longest psalms in the whole bible, it is written by an anonymous person though some suggested that it is the Ezra the priest who wrote it.. Priests and prophets who followed God faces a lot of troubles and sufferings.. Faithful and upright people of God are people who would stand up for God and hear God's voice and tell the people.. but very often they would be the ones who needs to speak something against the people's will especially when they sin and fall..Therefore, they not just have to face the enemies of Isreal, but also faces dangers and persecutions from their own people, and as well as the results of sin, whether cause by them or the people.. it must be tough for them..
So, the psalmist was saying that the sufferings that You, which means God, sent to me(the psalmist) was GOOD for it taught me to pay attention to your principles. What was the psalmist trying to say here? the suffering that God sent to him was good for him? can you say to yourself when you face suffering that this is actually good for me?i think it's gonna be real tough to say that..
So what does it mean by good? good in what way? God is a all-knowing God and he knows and plans everything that happened.. so why did God allowed sufferings in our lives? i think that in all things that happened, God has a reason and plan for it..
So what's this purpose of suffering that we need to go through? let's take for example..there's a kid who fell down and hurted himself.. the kid asked himself why do i have to go through all this pain and stuff? why? because he fell.. if you take that as a suffering, the psalmist would say it's good for him. why do you think that it is good? i think because of that fall, it could had saved his life.. imagine a child who never fell and never experience pain before, one day he just leaped off from a high place out of curiosity and fell to his death? the pain from a tiny fall actually teaches the kid alot of stuff and warns and lets him experience it, and making him be more careful to avoid from falling down again.. i think that, in a way that small fall the boy had, that "suffering", was good in a way. i think that's what the psalmist was trying to say.
There are many times we would face hardship and stuff..i wouldn't want to write much cause i know it's hard to read long long articles..but i just pray that as we go through sufferings and hardship..always remember that God is still here with us and He has plans to bring us back and bless us..
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Joshua 1:5
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
May God give you strength and comfort in your most difficult times as you depend on Him.. He will always be faithful and true.. He never promise us a life that will have no suffering and failures at all.. but He promises us to always be with us and to help us go through it..
AMEN
