Seeing with Spiritual Eyes

Ever wonder how a person's perspective can be totally different from the other? This is what I've been discovering these few days. And the sad thing is, I had to agree with what Siow Jin pointed out: My perspective are very unbiblical. There's a lot of things that I used to think the tis no big deal and now I realized, it's super big deal!! Of course, I wanna thank God for opening my spiritual eyes and continues to do so. There's still gonna be a lot to work on and I'm gonna be cooperative this time.

I do need strength from God to talk and confront Mel of her sins. Not because I'm better but because I've experienced the peace and joy from God for doing what is pleasing in His eyes.

Thank You Abba Father for everything You've been showing me this last few weeks. I know You have more to work on and that You're gonna do it as much as I can take it so I pray that You'll continue to give me wisdom. I love You Lord!!

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Be Prepared!!

Mood depends on attitude. When I've decided to be discipline, I get done with preparation for class -> confident -> happy!! So, the lesson is... Always be prepared!!

That reminds me, we need to be prepared in all circumstances so that we would not be caught off guard. Be prepared with non-believers/believers' accusation, questions, doubts and we'll be able to answer them!!

The other important lesson today: Be bold and courageous and speak out when you see your brothers and sisters are in sin!! Do not procrastinate and do not give excuse!! Let them know the truth in love so that they may see Christ through us. Besides, we are supposed to encourage one another and build each other up!!

Thank You Abba Father for the day full of blessings. Teach me to count my blessings everyday that one day it'll become my character. Thank You and I love You, Lord!!

1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

Photo session!!

Uni magazine photo session day!! How time flies!! As photo session starts, graduation seens to be drawing nearer. Excitement. Fear. Stress. Mix feelings.

How nice to be able to just dress up and look good and pretty all the time!! But undeniable, looks without brain just aren't attractive. Only when there's character, wisdom with fear of the Lord and love for all mankind is a person attractive.

Thank You Abba Father for making me beautifully. Help me to focus on You instead of outward beauty. Help me to overcome my laziness but instead search for all knowledge to equip myself for Your purpose. Help me to practice the fruit of the Spirit and be more and more like You each day. Thank You Lord. I love You.

Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Chilling time!!

It's been a very relaxing day. Online, watch movie and cook dinner. Not a bad idea to do this once a month!! Anything more than that makes it a waste of time!! Chilling can lead to laziness. Remember not to fall into that trap. Do something useful between breaks makes chilling more worthwhile!!

Now that chilling time is over, it's time to get ready for the new week and new challenges ahead!!

Thank You Abba Father for this time of Rest & Relax. Pray that next week will be full of good surprises as I open Your gifts daily. Love You Lord!!

Psalm 118:24
This is the day the Lord has made,
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Instrument of God

Whenever I hear someone breaks up, it saddens me. But in a case when it's not a God-honoring relationship, it gives me joy. Many things could have been done but the most important things is what can be done now. I pray for boldness to be a Jesus Freak and I pray that God will soften her heart.

I know part of me is excited. But this time, I'm not doing anything by my own strength. I'm letting God use me as an instrument to show His love. I might need to remind myself more than once. But I have faith in God!! If He can use anything, He can use me.

Abba Father, I'm committing myself into Your service. Help me to deny myself and carry the cross. So that I'll be so busy, I won't be a backseat driver!, I love You Lord and I definitely grew much more in love with You than yesterday!!

Isaiah 63:14
Yet, O Lord, You are our Father, 
we are the clay, You are the potter,
we are all the work of Your hand.

Walking wisely... 

Be aware of who you hang out with!! You might not be best friends, but as soon as you start hanging out, you're putting yourself at risk of gossip and before you know it, you're haunted by the gossips!! Although God can use every bad situation for His purpose, some of it are really consequences of bad decisions. So, keep this is mind!!

On the other hand, if you hang out with godly people, you might not be making perfect decisions and hearing the right thing all the time but at least you know that each other is sincere and if you really made a wrong decision, you can learn together and cry together.

Sometimes, people might bad mouth you and say Christians think they are better, therefore they do not hang out with others. Take that as a compliment!! Don't give in to them and lower your standards, instead pray that they might see the difference and would want to know God too!!

Life is really all about perspective, therefore we need to fix our eyes on Jesus, so that we may see things our Heavenly Father sees. Abba Father, thank You fir opening my eyes into things according to my ability to accept them and help me not to run ahead of You!! I love You, Lord!!

Proverbs 13:20
He who walks with the wise grows wise,
but a companion of fools suffers harm.

P/s: I need to write more, coz when I read back, I wonder what did I learn on those empty days!! There's a feeling of emptiness. Blessings from God that was not remembered...
