Proverbs 18:24 reads "There is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother"

I thank God I've been learning much about the reality of God as our comforter! You know, so often when we are depedant on men, we run to people to cast our cares to them, hoping to find some sort of comfort or solace. But thank God, peace is found in Him alone! Tell it to Jesus alone! Let Christ our Friend be the first to know about all our sorrows and our burdens. For He said, "Come to me ye who are burdened and heavy laden, and I will give thee rest". He Himself said, "Cast thy burdens upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you". He also promised, "Casting all your cares upon Him, for He careth for thee". Oh, how many times must God remind us to cast our our worries, anxieties, troubles to Him and trust Him before we learn to do so? I learnt it the hard way. But I'm thankful nonetheless that I learnt it.

God has really been merciful to me and very very gracious to me! "Great is thy faithfulness!" is my praise to Him! I've been holding on to the promises of "I will never leave you nor forsake you" and "Fear not I am with thee", and God has been really close to me through this trying period of time. Truly in a good way, though the pain, He has taught me to "Put not thy trust in princes nor the son of men... for the help of men is useless" and to "wait silently upon Him". God is more than enough for me! Is my cry of dependance solely on Him alone!

Yet it has not been an easy time to go through. Learning it and being spoken to is great, but putting it to practice is hard! It has led to a period of awkward silence and coldness to many whom I am trying not be depedant on. And I am thankful that the peace that fills my heart when I continue trusting that God is all I need, transcends all my thoughts and emotions, and leave me very contented with my circumstances. (: Exclusivity I feel would not be an issue for me, if I surrender all these God-given relationships back to Him and start working!

Matthew 6:33
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.

God knows our needs even before we ask of Him. Believe it! Its writen in His word. (Matthew 6) God will provide those needs when we seek His kingdom first and walk uprightly and righteously. (:

Pastor talked about using our gifts and talents that God has given to us, during Youth Meeting. It encouraged me alot, because I was wondering why I have not been given to gift of utterance and speech when I feel that that hindered me from serving. But I am encouraged to know I can be faithful with whatever gift that He has given to me! and that I should not covet for other gifts, cos He has not made a mistake! I'm relieved to know that I am not useless, and God can use me! In 2 Corinthians 4:7, it says "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us"


Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. - 1 Peter 5:6

Humily, ah.. the removal of pride and meekness before God, and yes, before men. For me, humility would mean to not seek for self-glorification and not puff myself up with pride when I do something good. But rather, ascribe glory and honour to God. To be humble and meek would mean not associating with the proud but joining the ranks of the humble; visiting orphans and windows, literally and not literally. And yes, to be responding in love and meekness even though you know someone has wrongfully judged you, and not exerting your rights because your freedom in Christ is restricted by love for others.

So to whomever, it may be concerned: I apologise for not responding in love and humility and I implore you not to judge me, because it would not be giving due credit to the work that God is working in me. Truly, men look at the outward apperance, but God looks at the heart. If you are really concerned, which I am bound not to doubt, I ask only for prayer and nothing else.

God help our family through a crisis that has just taken us aback sudddenly. Yet, pray that God would use this crisis to bring our family close together and for God to show Himself strong to those unbelieving and astray.

In Psalms,68:19 I read today:

Blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with benefits. The God of our salvation!

I had to consider this, God who daily load us with benefits. Ha, really? Open our eyes and be utterly grateful for all God has blessed us with daily, for God promised a daily pouring out of his blessings in our lives! (:

Pray for me as I learn to place ministry the main goal that I press towards in my life! :D

Okay, random shot. The most glam photo of my windsurfing! Haha, the rest are.. pretty unglam. Lol.
