Farewell Note to CrossOver

Dear CrossOvers,

First day in office, and it so happen that there’s a Christmas lunch with people singing carols like “Joy to the World”, “Silent Night”, “The Trumpet Boy”, “Mary’s Boy Child” and “Feliz Navidaz”. Was sharing with CrossOver 1 the other day that my Christmas wish is to celebrate it with close friends, guess it’ll not happen now.

Anyway, want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your farewell notes and for coming to the dinner on Tuesday night. I know the schedule of most of you all so I know many of you made an effort to leave work early or readjust your schedule just to be there. Really appreciate it ^^

26 March 2010 to 14 December 2011. Some of you I have known for 1 year 8 months ++, some for a shorter time, but even for those whom I just got to know this year it seems like I’ve been with you all a long time. Sometimes I wish I could spend more time getting to know each and everyone of you better.

How I wish I could have helped more of you settle down when you first came to the cell. How I wish we could continue to have fun, fellowship, learn and grow together in Christ.

I know sometimes the things I say might be a bit hard and I do put a lot of expectations on those in leadership position.  I would like to take the opportunity to apologize to anyone of you whom I’ve offended. My heart’s desire is that all of us will have a spirit of excellence, growing deeper in our relationship with God and in His Words. Sometimes I have an answer to the questions that I ask, but I still ask it because I hope that the questions will stipulate everyone to think further. Sometimes I ask tough questions so that others who have questions will feel free to voice out as well. Cell is a place where we learn and grow together. Remember the ABC of cell. A is for authenticity. Please don’t be afraid to ask or voice out if there’s anything in your mind =)

I do really hope that all of us will continue to grow deeper in our walk with Him. The days are coming when there’ll be many false teachers and prophets, who would try to lead the elect of God astray if possible. How I wish I can be of help and to serve you all more in your spiritual journey.

Do make effort to attend the trainings/conferences/seminars in our church. I’ve been to many churches and I can truly say that it is a blessing to be in SIBKL where we have many opportunities to learn and be equipped. Since young one of the motivation that got me interested in learning is that, though the things I learn might not be of use to me now, it might come in handy one day or I might be able to use what I learn to help others.

Do call one another up if you notice someone has been missing for 2~3 weeks in a row. How I wish I can be there for all of you when you need help or just someone to talk to. Feel free to drop me a sms if you’ve got any prayer request. I won’t promise that I’ll pray for you 24/7, but at least I’ll try to pray there and then or before the day ends.

Thanks again for the great times together. May we all grow into the fullest that He has in store for us.

Take Care and God Bless,

From Bintulu,

Fret-Free Living

Psalm 37

A Psalm of David.

 ¹ Do not fret because of evildoers,
         Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
 ² For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
         And wither as the green herb. 
         
 ³ Trust in the LORD, and do good;
         Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
 ⁴ Delight yourself also in the LORD,
         And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 
         
 ⁵ Commit your way to the LORD,
         Trust also in Him, 
         And He shall bring it to pass.
 ⁶ He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
         And your justice as the noonday. 
         
 ⁷ Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;
         Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, 
         Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
 ⁸ Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
         Do not fret—it only causes harm. 
         
 ⁹ For evildoers shall be cut off;
         But those who wait on the LORD, 
         They shall inherit the earth.
 ¹⁰ For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
         Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, 
         But it shall be no more.
 ¹¹ But the meek shall inherit the earth,
         And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.


I returned my brother's book to him, the devotional material that I've been using for over 1 year now. Decided to look up what Our Daily Bread have and the above was the passage for today and below the sharing by the author. Today verses 5-6 stood up for me. To commit my ways to him, even in the new job that I'm taking. Even when things doesn't seem well, commit it to Him and eventually His righteousness in me will shine through.

Does it bother you to see how much attention is paid in today’s culture to people who stand for all the wrong things? Perhaps it is entertainment stars who get the headlines while espousing immoral philosophies in their music, movies, or programs. Or it could be leaders who openly thumb their noses at right-living standards.

It would be easy to fret about this and wring our hands in despair, but Psalm 37 suggests a better way. Listen to David’s wise advice: “Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity” (v.1).

While it is right to be “salt and light” (Matt. 5:13-14) in this tasteless, dark world—attempting to counter sin by reflecting Jesus’ light wherever possible—we cannot let negative forces cause us to live in anger and wrath (Ps. 37:8). Instead, we must rely on God to have the ultimate say about evildoers: “They shall soon be cut down like the grass” (v.2). Beyond that, we should take David’s approach: (1) “Trust in the Lord, and do good.” (2) “Feed on His faithfulness.” (3) “Delight yourself also in the Lord.” (4) “Commit your way to theLord.” (5) “Rest in the Lord” (vv.3-7).

We may not like what we see and hear from some aspects of society, but remember this: God is in control. Trust Him to do what is right. And don’t fret.

When tragedy, heartache, and sorrow abound,
When evil appears to have conquered the right,
We center our heart on our Father’s great love,
For He will bring hope in the darkest of night. —D. De Haan

Don’t despair because of evil; God will have the last word.

A Power House of Protection

Isaiah 54:10-17

New King James Version (NKJV)

10 For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.
11 “ O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children shall be taught by the LORD,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
16 “ Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the LORD.


A wonderful promise.
Still waiting for further solid answer as to when and how long..
But a promise to hold on too wherever I may be.


Dear God,


Indeed let me see Your goodness and comfort in the land of the living.
Help me to remain in You and walk in Your ways all the days of my life.
May I be a vessel fit for Your work.
May I be reminded of Your promises when I go through the valleys of life.
Help me to turn the valleys into springs of life.
Thank You.


In Jesus' Name
Amen

Word, Prayer & Persecution

On Sunday I attended the "Church History" class.
The first lesson was on the early history of the church, which we saw much persecution going on.

Yesterday I was reading the book "Lord, Teach Me to Pray in 28 Days" by Kay Arthur, and it was quoting Acts 5 where the apostles chose 7 deacons and devoted themselves to Prayer and Ministry of the Word.

Today's devotion "From Faith to Faith" by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland is about persecution as well.
The opening verse was taken from 2 Timothy 3:12 "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

But interestingly of all the passages that spoke on persecution the Scripture reading was from Acts 5, and starting from verse 1 to 15, talking about the apostles wanting to devote themselves to Prayer and Word and choosing Stephen, and how people were opposing Stephen.

Sometimes I wonder whether all this are just coincidence...


God, are You trying to tell me something?
Persecution on the way?
Right now I'm already struggling with so many things and its not settled yet. Please delay any more persecution for awhile O God....
But when it does come, help me to stand strong in You, that my faith may be refined and proven true, and may it encourage others to remain in You as well.
Thank You Jesus.

Communication

Yesterday morning as I was doing the homework for PUP class I felt that the passages were speaking directly to me. It was about communication, and it was asking us to refer to various scriptures that touch on our tongue, speech, words etc.

Guess what today's devotion passage is taken from?

Matthew 12:33-37

33 “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Even yesterday I acknowledged to my brother that this is an area that I know I offend others often. I guess God is really doing a deeper work in me and wants to perfect me in this area.

Dear God,

I thank You for constantly teaching and guiding me, and above all for accepting me for who I am despite all my flaws. Thank You for showing me where you want me to work on. Give me the strength to do so so that I may bring glory to You.

In Jesus' Name
Amen

Proverbs 3: 1-9

Guidance for the Young

1 My son, do not forget my law,
But let your heart keep my commands;

2 For length of days and long life
And peace they will add to you.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,

4 And so find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;


6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

8 It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.

9 Honor the LORD with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;

Interestingly yesterday as I was going for dinner in Chow Yang verse 5 and 6 came to my mind. "Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall make your path straight"
 
And Proverbs 3:1-9 happens to be the verses for my devotion today. I believe that God is really trying to speak to me. This is the 3rd time within a short period that God has been speaking to me through His word and confirming it through my daily devotion.
 
Trust in Him with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. Many people might not agree with how I'm handling my current situation. They think that I should be more proactive in changing my situation. And that's exactly how I'd do last time. But I think God wants me to follow His guidance and rely on Him more.
 
I believe that my past 2 interviews came from God and I want to wait on Him. I guess for many it'll be considered wiser to wait on God but at the same time apply for other jobs as well since there is no guarantee that I'll pass the interview. 1 of the interview has already been unsuccessful actually.
 
But as I was pondering upon the situation, an analogy came to my mind. Let's say a couple has been engaged and they plan to get married. But just in case things didn't turn up right they decided to have a backup plan- the guy gets involve with another girl and the girl gets involve with another guy.
 
This is exactly what I feel if I were to look for other jobs rather than wait upon God. 
 
In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall make your path straight.
 
 
Father,
Help me to acknowledge You in all the things I do, and I pray that You'll lead me in a straight and smooth path. Help me to lean not on my own understanding, but to trust in You wholeheartedly.
 
In Jesus' Name
Amen 

Psalm 33 and 27

"Rejoice in the Lord, O you [uncompromisingly] righteous [you upright, in right standing with God]; for praise is becoming and appropriate for those who are upright in heart."

This was the opening verse for today's devotion. When I was reading the verse it sounded quite familiar. And as I look at the address, it was Psalm 33:1 from the Amplified Bible. Aha, no wonder it sounds so familiar. My brother texted me Psalm 33 yesterday and I was reading it.

Hmm..coincidence? Looks more like God is speaking.

Psalm 27

A Psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.

3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.

5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

9 Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take care of me.

11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.

12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.

13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.

14 Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Today's devotion passage. A timely chapter I guess, especially with all the things that are going in my life right now.

Dear God,

Indeed you have always been my help. And I pray that even in my current situation right now You'll help me swiftly. The path that I'm on doesn't seem very smooth right now. Lead me in Your straight path I pray.
Help me to believe that I will see Your goodness in the land of the living, so that I might not lose heart.
And even as I wait on You, strengthen my heart o God.

In Jesus' Name
Amen

Hebrews 10:32-39

Hebrews 10:32-39 (New International Version, ©2011)


32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. 34 You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. 35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.

36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For,

“In just a little while,
he who is coming will come
and will not delay.”
38 And,
“But my righteous one will live by faith.
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back.”
39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Devotion today is from Hebrews 10: 32-39.
A timely passage I guess. Many times I wonder whether I'll give up eventually because I don't see the things I hope for coming to past and giving up, going my own way seems to be the easiest thing to do.

Patience is power. I need to have the courage to refuse the lies of Satan that says the Word is not working for me. I knows that God's Word has never failed. Patience will not draw back in fear but will press forward in faith until I have the answer.

Last Day of Work

My first official last day of work.

I have 2 weeks notice, but because I have 5.5 days of leave today is my last day in office.

I have plans in mind, but I shall wait till I spend time talking to God.
It's not an easy task, considering that I'm the hyperactive type who'll want to take things into my own hand.

But I shall wait on God.

Hopefully He doesn't make me wait too long.

Recently a friend of mine who is contemplating about his career had this verse from God:

Psalm 28

Of David.


1 To you, LORD, I call;
you are my Rock,
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who go down to the pit.

2 Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.

I guess now is the time for me to call out to God. I'm sure He will not turn a deaf ear to me. Just that I'm nervous that He'll make me wait for an extended period of time..

God,
 
I want to trust in your guidance.
Give me the patience and faith to trust in You.
You have been gracious to me all these while.
Let me trust in Your unfailing faithfulness again.
I pray that even as I wait upon Your guidance You will open the doors for me.
 
In Jesus' Name
Amen

Handed in my Letter

Officially handed in my letter to my boss.

Been thinking, talking, praying about it. Decision was made last week. But we agreed to send in the letter today.

So now I need to wait on God.
I want to wait on God.
Spending time to seek His direction and guidance before I make my next move.

Many people will not understand the decision I make.

Guess a lot of time the journey I've chosen is a lonely one.


Went to BASF Malaysia Sdn Bhd in Bukit Jelutong this morning.
It's a program BASC do for new joiners. But I didn't manage to go the past few times due to lack of man power in my team. Hmm..6 months. Fast? or Slow?

Discover Our Calling in Life

Making choices without considering God is easier. I don't have to worry whether I'm making the right or wrong choices. Just make the most sound and correct choice and don't regret about it.

But when I put God in the picture things get a bit more complicated. I want to make the right choices in God's sight. But I'm not able to discern which is the correct one. The most sound and decent option by man's standard may not be what God has in mind.

Probably it is fear. Fear that I've made the wrong choices. Like the decisions that I've made recently regarding my career. I really don't want to do something if I know it's not from God. I prayed, I tried to wait on Him, I asked people to pray for me. But I still don't know. Then the night before I had to make a decision I had a strange dream. Was that a sign from God? Or was it just a random thought? I've never made any decision base on my dream. My brother says that my decision was due to a lack of faith. But he didn't know that the whole day I was trying to do what he thought was right. If God had given me the slightest indication I would have gladly done so. But none of that came. I only had a strange dream from the night before.

Today one of my colleague send me a link on a sermon her husband preached recently, called Discover Your Life Calling. It suggested 5 questions to help people discover their calling:
1. What do you feel joy doing?
2. What are you good at doing?
3. What do you feel are the biggest needs of the people around you?
4. What is your unique personality?
5. What do your trusted friends say?

But what spoke to me more was this paragraph:

Having said that, our focus should not be just on methods to discern God's will. We are to trust in God Himself. There is no system that ensures you never make mistakes, but we can rely on a God of grace who will guide us and teach us even when we make mistakes. He is big enough to rescue us and lift us up when we fall. Otherwise, we would live in constant fear, always searching for the perfect formula for discovering God's will so we won't make any mistakes.

God,

If I've made the wrong choices please forgive me. Kindly guide me back to the path that You've intended. Even as I face new challenges and need to make new decisions everyday, I pray that You'll give me a discerning mind and an obedient heart.

Probably it's not biblical, but I pray that You'll close the doors that are not from You till I am more mature to discern which open door is from You.

Help me O God.

In Jesus' Name
Amen

The Inner Witness

Been going through some confusion lately. Not sure where is God leading me in my career and not sure how to make decisions cause I'm not sure which is the 'correct' decision.

On the way back from prayer meeting yesterday my brother was saying that sometimes we focus too much on our prayer items that we do not focus enough on God. He was also asking me how much time I spend waiting on Him.

Coincidentally or miraculously today as I do my devotion the article was on this issue of hearing from God.

The Inner Witness

Do you ever have trouble hearing from God? Do you find yourself caught in confusing circumstances needing guidance, and yet even after praying and reading the Word- you're still not sure what God wants you to do?

I've had that experience. I knew His written Word and acting on it changed my life. But I was uncertain when I had to make decisions about things the Word didn't specifically address. Things like whether to move to one city or another, for example.

What held me back was my ability to know that I was doing the right thing. You see, God's written Word and the inward witness are two different things. They never contradict each other, but they're both a vital part of our walk with God.

God expected Israel, for example to obey His written Word. But He also said to them, "Obey my voice" (Jer 7:23) because He wanted them to know His will in specific situations That's what happened when Israel invaded Jericho...

..But exactly how, you may wonder, does God speak to us? Does He just shout down to us from heaven?

Not usually! Romans 8 says the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit. That means that God's directions come from inside, not outside, of you.

At times when you hear His guidance, you may even wonder, "Was that me, Lord, or was that You?" That's because God doesn't normally inject thoughts directly into your mind from the outside. Instead, He speaks to your spirit, and your spirit translates it into a thought.

Tune in today to that inward witness, to that quiet knowing, that urging, prompting and leading arising within you.

If when you hear it, it sounds like you, don't be surprised. It is you! It is your spirit being influenced by the Spirit of God! After you're born again, your spirit is a safe guide because you are born of God's Spirit. You have His nature. And the Holy Spirit lives in your spirit to teach you and to give you direction.

Guidance

I guess even as I pray for God's guidance, I need to believe and trust that He is guiding me.

CrossOver

Had a wonderful weekend with my cell group in Penang.

It was our Friends 2 Cell Group Retreat.
But rather than making it just a playful fun holiday trip, the core decided that there should be more meaningful and spiritual significance to it. Which I agree.

So it was a retreat where we reflected on Joshua chapter 3 and 4, how God is and has brought us out of our Egypt and across our Jordan. It was also there that we launched our new cell name-CrossOver and got our personalized cell t-shirt.

It was a great time for us to do some reflection on how and what God is doing in our lifes.

For me personally it was quite good, looking and remembering how faithful God has been throughout my life.
It feels kind of strange that although I can see that God has been leading me all this while yet when I face with new challenges and decisions I still feel anxious and uncertain.

I need to train myself to turn my focus from the issues at hand to God.
Trusting that God has the best intention for me in mind and that His plans will prevail.


Father,

Thank you for all the wonderful things You've done in my life.
Thank you for the different experience that You've brought me through.
Even as I continue to face new and different challenges in life,
help me to trust in You and rely on You to bring me through.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen

Career Path

As I sat in the LRT this morning on my way to work I was thinking to myself that my career path is so unpredictable and because there are so many things that I don't know about the future, I can't plan too far ahead and I need to rely on God to guide me a step at a time.

I was with a company that was interested to do property development in Malaysia for more than 2 years.
Then I came to a shared service centre.
And I don't see myself doing any engineering related job in the near future.
If the government calls, I'll most likely be a PTD in Putrajaya.

I don't really know what's the long term plan God has for me in His mind.
I'm not sure how the skills and experience that He's bringing me through will play a part in the future.

But I believe that He has something in store for me and though I feel that it's a bit of a waste that my engineering knowledge that I studied so hard in university is not being put to use, I need to continue to trust in Him.


God,

May you mould me into the vessel that best suits Your purpose.

In Jesus' Name

Amen

Pizza Dinner

Somethings cannot be put into words. But some words will bring to mind the memories for the person involved.

Took a shower in office (no water to my house for few days) and was on my way to KL Sentral to meet a sister from cell just now.

She's not going to prayer meeting tonight but offered to drop me at church.

When I was passing Abdullah Hukum my brother sms asking whether I want to have dinner together.

If I was already in KL Sentral probably I would have to say no, but since I was still on the way I was glad to accept the offer.

Interesting thing was that I didn't know her sister was joining us as well.

We went to a Pizza Shop near Bangsar and had dinner. The food was quite good despite the strange location on top of a stationary shop.

The sister somehow paid for the dinner, which I still don't know why...

But anyway as she was preparing for her exam she didn't follow us to prayer meeting.

On the way back home from prayer meeting I had a wonderful conversation with my brother.

I had been thinking of the monologue/dialogue for a few days but didn't think that I'd bring it up.

Interesting.

Thank you God for such blessed time today. 

Releasing the Word

It's interesting and amazing to see how those around me receive words from God.

Hebrews 12:1-2 and Psalms 24:3-6
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
look full in His wonderful face,
then hour by hour you will know His power,
then you know you have run a good race.
Give us CLEAN hands and a PURE heart.
He WILL receive the Lord's blessings.
Let us be the generation that seeks Him, O God of JACOB.
We shall not sell our birthrights for the things of the world.
Fix our eyes on Jesus!!!

One of my cellmates who's also attending URM
Before 3rd Service 10/10/10
Sermon for today was taken fr. Hebrews 12: 14-17


There is a stirring in the hears of the people as we pray.
It is like a baby in the womb, before the final birthing, there is major stirring in the body.
A birth of a new generation is about to happen.
Even before we have decided to go, He has already planted the seed and we will witness its birth.

Discernment in Prayer

Was at DUMC Prayer Confernce just now. Will probably blog about it after the whole thing finishes.

This entry I'd just like to focus on discernment in prayer.

During YA Camp there were a moment where we tried to discern what God is saying while praying for another person. So just now when I was praying for a brother, I asked God for discernment and I had a feeling to pray about a topic, but I wasn't sure whether that's just my thinking alone or that is actually from God.
But on our way back we had a short conversation and I guess my "discernment" wasn't too far off topic. Am quite excited that I can actually "hear" what God is trying to say and pray for another person.

When the brother prayed for me, he thank God for my passion and desire everything, but he prayed that above all I'll know God's love, and through knowing God's love that I'd know God's will for me.
When he said that I was reminded of what Ps. Lee Choo prayed for me during YA Camp. Though the wordings might be a bit different, but the core remains that I need to put more of God into myself and know God's love for me.


God, is that you speaking?
How then do I know your love?
By spending time with You in reading Your Word and prayer I guess.

Help me O God.

In Jesus' Name,
Amen
