My Strength, My Help, My Best Friend, ... is God.

"The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. ..."
"Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity." (Psalm 93:1-2)

[ My Majesty, take your throne, I surrender to You. ]
Do I dare to say this? ... Do not wait until the very difficult time to comes, then only we say and act. There are unhappy matters keep happen to me at recent days. I know there might have the reason behind the scenes, perhaps God wants me to study and learn something more about His love. ... Oh ya, God, I'm not alone when the enemies are standing all around against me. There is no one, but You alone with me. Really I know, You are absolutely my strength, my refuge, my best friend and my big brother.
... I give thanks to You, God.

I received an invitation from my friend tonight, there will be a pastor come to share his testimony at one of the church in the city on the coming weekdays. Don't know whether I am able to join or not..... anyway... God bless...

Power of God

"Will you continue to love, trust, obey, and worship God, even when you have no sense of his presence or visible evidence of his work in your life?"
- taken from the purpose driven life, page 109.

When I was reading the above sentence, it caught my attention. The words "will you continue to...", "... will you...", "... continue...", it is like the God is asking for my affirmation. Do I get lost in the midst of my life journey? NO, it just like what I talked about the certain working life experience situation to the music school principal this evening... wake up in early morning to work, and go home late at night... bath... sleep....... working so busy from day to night... and we are covered up by a lot of busy and complicated stuff then,... slowly and slowly... and eventually, we might have lost ourself without notice. I told her I did not want to live such a life, and she has the common sense with me... and asked me to think it very carefully...... and she mentioned about the book of the purpose driven life... then, we have good conversation... it was so good though the conversation was short. Thank God!

I enjoyed listening to the messages of prayer meeting of a church shared on the internet tonight... It was so incredible... brother & sister prayed so eagerly and fervently was like a lamp really lighten up my heart. That's the power of God.

Faith on

Somebody tends to get into a temper the whole day... and showing emotional feelings to you continuously day by day... it is really embarrass. ... and to make matter worse, you are cheated by someone you trust. It was so bad, you trust her/him, and he/she still want to cheat you. This is not something funny to say, but it does happen to me. It is not good to think of this, and I ask for God's mercy and love, to completely cover me up. It's true, my friend told me to pray and to forgive. Isn't it? Why don't just look it at another way, wasn't our God also went through this, His friend betrayed Him, and His people wanted to crucified Him, but He said only the word of forgiveness. This is how God's love declared. Let's grow in Him with the faith granted. Be firmed and faith on.

The righteous will flourish

Reading is good, it calms down my heart from a busy day. And it increases my knowledges. I hope I can finish the 3 book(s) I purchased from the bookfest. Perhaps I will go there one more times. perhaps.

"The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, "The LORD is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him." " Psalm 92:12-15


Ponder : Do I pleased the Lord in whatsoever I did today?

Too late to know?

Standing in the LRT... feeling so tired.... many many people... many many kind of faces of mood... most of the people are in a rush on their own way... Are we all travel with the same reason - working? ...... I've had my breakfast in the world's well-known furniture shopping mall. HotDog + Soft drink, okay, maybe it is just only for this times, because it is not good to have breakfast with soft drink. This is something to do with health, isn't it? Thought the time is short, but I enjoy reading book there after my breakfast... I like the silent and calm environment there in the morning.

I feel like to join the Hillsong United Live in Malaysia 2008, however, it was too late to know... and because of certain reason, I think I might not be able to join at tomorrow night... it's okay. Next times.

Visit to Bookfest @ Malaysia 2008

Thanks God! Day off.
However, my mobile phone was sounding many times periodically today, these were the calls from office, felt like not to answer. They were bringing stress to me... come on, I need rest!! Can't you all do me a favor?

Once a year, wow... times rolls on so so so so fast... I went to Bookfest @ Malaysia 2008 this afternoon, it was not like last year, this times I bought only a few books, okay, only 3. I must spend my money wisely. And these 3 books is published from China... so it's cheaper than those from Taiwan and Hong Kong. Last year I spent hundreds $ to buy books, but this year only quarter of it I think. haha... I don't want to buy something just for a temporary satisfaction of soul, and I even do not read on it. It is considered a waste of money. So this year, please be wise a little bit. In fact, I was about to buy original version of certain book, which is in English, but since the price is far more higher than the one which has been translated in Chinese from China publisher, therefore, it is definitely not my choice.

Bookfest @ Malaysia 2008

After I paid for the entrance fee - RM2.00, I got this catalogue for reference.

Though it wasn't a public holiday, but many visitors.

To pray, to love and to practice hospitality

In the house of God, let's praise Him and worship Him.
"Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest!......" so nice, I like this song to be sung in this morning... Cool!

I forgot to bring my holy bible today, but thanks God! As I can refer the given verses on the projector's screen. Even though it is convenient to see it there, but normally I prefer to refer to my own bible. A Christian should make a habit to bring their own bible to the Sunday Service.

"How should our lifestyle be in these last days?" ( I Peter 4:7-11)
Did I get what the message was telling about this morning?

Pastor asked, if we know that within 90 days the Lord would call us home, what would you do?
Sound like really a very familiar question and message. Perhaps I've been used to hear of this kind of message for so long that gradually make me losing my heart of concerns. However, God is always doing His works without stopping.

Pastor has listed down a few priorities as accord to the verses-7, 8, 9.
First, to pray
Second, to love one another
Third, to practice hospitality.

What else can we do? but foremost are mentioned above accordingly.


Congratulation to Rev Stephen Tong! an advertisement published on the newspaper I read last night, then, I knew that He was granted the Honorary Doctor of Divinity by Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia USA.
He is a very great evangelist & preacher. May God continually to bless him, and remember him. To God be the glory. ...... long time I didn't attend his seminar already, maybe I will find a day to attend once I am free.

Apathy Towards God's business?

Does God win my heart? ...
Seeing the articles reported on the newspaper tonight, there is one page talking about the Sichuan's Earthquake. With the title it said, "What have the Sichuan's earthquake been told?"
and the other one is, we are able to give, because we've first received.
It described the prophecy of the returning of Jesus, and the signs were lots more to see it happened before our eyes. ... and finally, our tears will be wipe away....

" Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying"A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" " (Revelation 6:6)

" There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. " (Luke 21:25)


" He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passes away. " (Revelation 21:4)


Thanks God! He reminds me. I am too busy with my works & problems, and all these have become the obstacles for me to grow in my spiritual life. Don't I see it now? O Lord, have mercy on me, and assist me.

Pray for Edison Chen


Is this an accidental click? Anyway, I am very grateful and glad to know about this news. Thanks God!

Pray for Edison Chen, Me and the World

Dear Bros and Sis in Christ,

I have a very urgent and special prayer request. For nearly 2 months now I have not announced publicly, even to my prayer team to protect the confidentiality of the fragile situation I am about to tell you. In February the Holy Spirit led me supernaturally to a special young man named "Edison Chen." He is a famous pop star in Hong Kong and China who recently this year was involved in a internet sex scandal that received worldwide attention. My heart broke for this young man when I heard the news. I prayed for him to find the love of God and the forgiveness that is offered through Jesus Christ. I also prayed that God would use this situation for greater good, somehow to redeem and bless the youth and families of Asia. Through a series of divine circumstances in February God brought me to Edison, I shared the Gospel and God's personal prophetic word to him and Edison gave his life to Christ. His heart was genuine, his repentance was true, and I was so happy to see a new brother find God's forgiveness, mercy and grace. God truly loves Edison. The days after, many others in his family and circle of friends came to know Christ. It was a supernatural experience, that only God could orchestrate.

Yesterday night, I found out that one of the largest secular magazines in Hong Kong/Asia had caught wind of Edison's conversion and wrote a front page story on our friendship. I was very much in shock to hear about this because I had not spoken about this publicly for nearly 2 months. I was more surprised when my contact in Hong Kong told me the article was 100% positive, shared about my own conversion experience, my personal ministry and how Edison is starting a new life and new path in Christ. Honestly, when I heard this news knowing that millions all over Asia would read this uplifting article and possibly find Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, I wept.

I wept with joy for Edison and all the millions in Asia who have been negatively effected by the sin & immorality that was spread. I knew God was restoring Edison, a prodigal son who had returned to his heavenly Father. I wept, because God spoke to me when I met Edison that He would bring greater good from this scandal than evil. That what Satan meant for evil, God would turn for good. I am thankful to God because I know millions who read this magazine will see that God has forgiven Edison Chen and all the victims, showing them His love and mercy. Therefore, those who read this article after realizing that God has forgiven Edison, will also realize that Jesus can forgive their sins and give them hope for a new life in Christ. Please pray that God uses this testimony to bless the masses with the power of the Gospel. Good News is spreading in Asia, Jesus died on the cross and resurrected on the third day so our sins could be forgiven and anyone who believes in Him will not die, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Now I ask you for prayer. Edison Chen, the Victims and myself need your prayers more than ever before.

Please pray for Edison Chen and others...

1. Pray for protection from media pressure: There is a lot of pressure with an public article like this to perform as a Christian. Please pray that people realize Edison and others who have become Christian are still a work in progress. As I am a work in progress myself. No one is perfect, we are all human and we all need love and forgiveness. God doesn't expect us to be perfect, but to trust in His mercy and grace. Pray that God would protect this story and situation against gossip, accusation or deception, but only the truth of Jesus Christ would continually be uplifted in the media.

2. Please pray millions of Christians around the world would pray for Edison, his family, the victims to be strengthened in faith, comforted and restored to be a testimony to society in a positive way. Pray that the many victims of this situation would also find faith and forgiveness in Christ.

3. Pray that many who read this article and story would be saved. Pray that those who read this testimony of Edison's repentance and faith in Christ, my own personal testimony will realize that God loves them also, that they can be forgiven of their sins and have a new life in Jesus Christ. Pray as they realize God has forgiven Edison, He will also forgive them.

4. Pray that my family and I would be a great testimony for Christ. Please pray that God would protect and help me and my family in America and Hong Kong to be good witnesses for Christ. I am returning to Hong Kong in May for ministry and I need God's wisdom in how to talk about this story to others so that they see Christ and not me or anyone else. May He keep me, Edison and all others humble, so that we decrease but Christ would increase.

5. Ask God to turn what was meant for evil into good. Pray that through this scandal, that greater good would come out of this than evil. Pray that millions will be inspired, touched and put their faith in Jesus Christ across the world. This scandal was probably one of the biggest news stories in Asia in the last decade, many were adversely affected, but God now can turn the tide and bring hope and healing to all the world and turn tragedy into triumph!

Lastly, I just really want you all to keep this low key and simply "pray" if you read this. Pray for Edison, he is like a brother to me. I love him and he has a good heart. Many people will try to ridicule or doubt what has happened, but it doesn't matter because I know him and he is not only truly repentant, but he is doing his best to become a better man, change his ways, and live for God. He is a good person. We all make mistakes. I urge the public who reads this, judge not or you will be judged as the Bible says. Forgive Edison, the victims and ask God to forgive your own sins, because none of us are perfect and we all need Jesus forgiveness. Edison is a good man, God loves him, knows his heart is truly sorry and will restore him to be a great role model in society. I know it, I have faith not only for him but for all who are affected by this. Pray for Edison's spiritual restoration. Because t's not easy, Edison, his family, his friends and myself are all God's work in progress and we need prayers, patience, mercy and grace from everyone to not point the finger, gossip or anything else, but to simply pray asking God to make us more like Christ each day and to be a testimony for Him in this generation. May God receive all the glory in this.

God is faithful. Please pray right now for God's will to be done. Thank you!

Under the mercy,

JMA

For anyone who read this blog post and you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, but you want to know Him. You want to repent and be forgiven of your sins then read what the Good News of Jesus is all about here

2008/5/3(六) 陳冠希信耶穌 ~ Jaeson Ma 牧師見證

我感謝上帝,因為我知道數百萬讀者 將透過這本雜誌 看到上帝原諒陳冠希和所有受害者,向他們展示祂的愛與慈悲。
- Jaeson MA 牧師

這看似咒詛的性醜聞,神卻要使它成為陳冠希的祝福
撒旦的工作是要來毀壞一個人
可是神的心意卻是要人得著豐盛的生命
- Jaeson MA 牧師

陳冠希懺悔 信耶穌贖罪

《東周刊》指經商務及經濟發展局長馬時亨(相關)的牧師侄兒馬正遠(Jaeson)的勸導後改信耶穌,藉信主而覺悟前非。據知Edison是經林建岳(相關)的好友輾轉介紹下,認識現年26歲任職牧師的Jaeson,二人一談之下十分投契,當時陷於迷惑的Edison深感罪孽深重,經Jaeson的感化後便決志成為基督徒。而原來Jaeson除了是馬時亨的侄兒外,他的出身也大有來頭,於美國出身及受教育的他,擁有3個學士學位,包括神學、青年事工及工商管理。Jaeson曾想於Rap界當巨星,於教會事務上創立一個叫Campus Church Networks,目的是推廣於每個校園內也有學生帶領的教會。而原來Jaeson與Edison年少時性格同樣反叛,Jaeson少年時曾吸毒和犯下偷竊罪行而留案底,現在痛改前非,與Edison浪子回頭的經歷十分相似,難怪Edison會受感化信耶穌。

陳冠希悔改信耶穌

剛剛看了Jaeson Ma牧師最新的一篇文章,知道了這個興奮的消息!
原文大概內容是我盡我所能翻譯囉!!大家一起為這樣的事情禱告~)

親愛的弟兄姊妹,

此時此刻我很需要大家一件緊急的事情禱告,今年二月的時候,聖靈很奇妙地引導我與陳冠希相遇,我與他分享福音並向他發先知性的話語,我的心真的很為這個年輕人感到破碎,他悔改接受了耶穌成為他的救主,他的心很真誠,悔改也很真心,我真的很開心看見在基督裡有這位新的弟兄,神真的很愛陳冠希,這些日子以來,陳冠希的家人與身邊的朋友也開始慢慢地認識耶穌,真的只有神能做成這事。

昨天晚上,我意外發現香港的媒體用頭版新聞的方式報導這件事情與我和陳冠希的友誼,我真的很驚訝,因為有將近兩個月的時間,我沒有公開地提起這事,更讓我驚訝的是,我在香港的聯絡人告訴我這篇文章是100%正面的新聞,寫到了我的重生經歷、事工、還有陳冠希如何接受耶穌得著新生命,真的,當我聽到這件事時,我就想到整個亞洲有很多的人都將看到這篇報導,而且可能因為看到這篇報導而認識這位救主並接受他,我哭了。

我真的為陳冠希以及罪與一切不道德對亞洲所帶來的影響而哭,但我知道神在恢復陳冠希身上做恢復的工作,一個浪子如今回到愛他的天父面前,我哭了,因為神說當我去找他時,神會把好的帶給陳冠希,這看似咒詛的醜聞,神卻要使它成為陳冠希的祝福,撒旦的工作是要來毀壞一個人,可是神的心意卻是要人得著豐盛的生命,我真的很感謝神,因為我知道當有許許多多的人讀到這篇報導的時候也要看見神的饒恕、愛與憐憫在陳冠希與所有受害者身上,也將明白神可以赦免我們每一個人的罪,我們可以在神裡面有盼望與新生命,請為這件事情來禱告,求神使用這樣的見證祝福許多的人也彰顯福音的大能在他們身上,神的福音要在亞洲傳開來!耶穌為我們與且在三天後復活,赦免的我們一切的罪,
約翰福音3章16節:神愛世人甚至將他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信祂的不致滅亡,反得永生。

我真的是請各位為陳冠希與受害者和我更多的禱告:
1.在龐大的媒體壓力下,求神保護。
2.為有更多的基督徒可以為陳冠希代禱
3.求神幫助閱讀到這篇報導的人,也能得救
4.求神使我和我的家族都在眾人面前為神做見證
5.求神使所有咒詛變為祝福,使不好的變好

最後,我真的希望所有閱讀到這篇文章的你們真的可以為這樣的事情禱告,陳冠希對我來說真的是主裡的弟兄,我真的用主的愛愛他,或許有些人開始懷疑或是嘲笑這些事情的發生,但卻不會影響我,我認識他,他真的真心悔改,也盡自己的最大的能力讓自己更好,改變他的生活方式,為神而活。他是個很棒的人,我們每個人都會犯錯,我真的是希望大家不要論斷,正如聖經所說因為你們怎樣論斷人,也必怎樣被論斷,饒恕陳冠希與所有受害者,也求神饒恕你,因為我們每個人都犯了罪,虧缺了神的榮耀,沒有人是完美的,我們都同樣需要神的赦免。陳冠希是個好人,神真的很愛他,神也知道他的心是真心的,我相信神也會修復他,讓他在這個社會重新成為模範,真的為他的屬靈上的修復禱告,這真的不容易,因為他、他的家人和我都是神手中還在進行的工作,我們需要更多的禱告、憐憫與恩典,讓我們不是指指點點或論斷,而是單單來到
主面前向祂禱告,讓我們都更像耶穌,有耶穌基督的身量,在這個世代成為神的見證,願神得著所有的榮耀。

下面是雜誌上的相關報導,請現在就為我們禱告,讓神的旨意成就。謝謝你們!
主內 Jaeson Ma

Disaster Relief Fund

Thing will be better if we compromise? There is no 100% absolute answer I think. As it could become worse, or better. However, there must be something to sacrifice. Difference of opinion may break the unity. And the best opinion, may not exactly achieve the best target.

Passed through the entrance and the exit way of one of the building in the city, with a very strong emotion that I could not bear, I finally donated to the fund collection of Myanmar cyclone and China earthquake people. God bless......

No matter what society is doing the work of fund collection, I just think that it is good, because they're doing the right thing, and I should not has the prejudice though I did ask God that whether I was doing it right. Because somehow the fund will finally reach to them.

Have Peace & Rest

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."
"I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' "
(Psalm 91:1-2)

What is mean by "rest"? I might have rest for my body, but soul. Because if I got enough sleep, then, it was fine. And, what about my soul? If I couldn't have rest. Perhaps because of my anxiety, worry, difficulty... then, I would be looked so sleepy and tired, not much passion for life... and furthermore, what if I couldn't have rest for both soul and body.... it is the worst thing I think...

God will make a way when it seems to be no way... Because there is peace in Jesus, in Him I have rest.

Have Your Mercy on China and Myanmar

It was so hard to wake up when the alarm clock was sounding in the very early morning... I snoozed it several times... then, only I got up from bed...... so tired... the mood was to have more more sleep..... but why did I not have such mind during most of my day off. My mood treated me unfair. :-(

It was not only stressful to work at new office, but ... far... food & drink are expensive there...etcs. I prefer to stay back at old office, though it is very busy most of the time. But it is near to the place I stay. :-)

People need your help, but they don't request from you directly or in a pleasant way, instead, they blame and complain you unreasonably in a way where they say you're not doing your job well in order to get your hands. Though it might be something that is not your job coverage, and suppose there should be someone who has already been designated early to take charge of it, and he/she shall responsible for it with full attention and make the best efforts since the beginning of work, and keep an eye on it from time to time. Perhaps, no one should be blamed since the company is really short of manpower for quite some time. Come on, please do be understanding and be considerate of your employees.

so Scaring number (I do not want to see...), the number of death is increasingly added every day, as well as the missing... lost.... so terrible.... I stopped myself from reading the related news about China earthquake, it was so sad...... the earthquake so cruel... so merciless... my tears dropped down... O Lord, Please remember Sichuan, remember the cyclone in Myanmar... Have full mercy to your people.... Have your love comforts those are in sufferings........ Bless and have your arms for those doing the work of relieve...

The fruit of the Spirit

The fruit of the Spirit:
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control.
(Galatians 5:22-23)

I found this lovely bookmark when I cleared away my magazines this afternoon. My room has been accumulated by too much redundant stuff, somehow I need to find a day to tidy up all. I shouldn't keep too much things in my room, and since it was outdated, then, it is no reason why I still do not want to throw it away. Isn't it?... By the way, looking at the fruit of the Spirit, "How many do I bear?" Let God judges me. Anyway, I need to learn that all.

Day off, staying at home, except my lunch and dinner. It was sort of easy feeling came up from my mind while I was walking on the night market street. I bought a lot of food though, and drink, ... Do I have very good appetite? Can I finish them? Moreover, there were 3 pieces of water-melon presented to me, however, I finished one only. So full tonight... felt like vomit... and not so well for a while... but after my guitar playing and singing... I felt better. Thanks God!

I browsed on a few politicians' blogs today... have read some of their articles... then, I get to know again, it seems that many of the assemblymen are a Christian. ... I saw scriptures... I heard of the music of "Give thank".... and kinda Christian's words. I pray that they are doing their job well, whatever they do, be glorified to God. ... and
I came cross to something in mind that, of course they might try their best to serve, to resolve and to fulfill the needs of the people there, it could be the public facilities, human rights, public security, democracy, educational issue, transportation..... etcs... however, what about the need of their soul?... perhaps... they are also doing their part under the restriction of law. Perhaps...

It is fine.

Thanks God! No matter what, thanks God!
... feel so tired. Thanks God...

Pastor Eddie shared a message this morning, "Developing a disciple's attitude." (Matthew 5:12)
Very Obvious, this is referring to our Christian life. However, now I think that no matter who, we all human being need to build up a disciple's attitude. By the way, I know there are differences between non-Christian and Christian. This is because of their belief.

There was a very meaningful and funny question for our understanding at the end of the message,
"$86400"
Everyday, you have $86400, how are you going to spend?
We have 86400 seconds a day, how are we going to spend?

Well, we shall plan well our schedule, be a discipline Christian.

Yesterday afternoon, I had done something that I previously did in my secondary school specified time. Two students came to me, while I was eating, they asked for educational fund donation. Government did not support the Chinese independent school in financial matter, therefore, they require to go out to ask for donation publicly. Thanks God! I did my favor for them.

Again, I've learnt something today... it seems that I am able to view something with a grateful heart... be open-minded. I told myself, "It is fine, as if people treat me not good, as long as I do not owe them my kindness." "People treated me not well, and even as they did something to hurt me, it is fine. I shouldn't repay them the same way. Because in God's eyes, it is not right!" I should always have the faith that I will gain God's rewards one days in heaven.

My eyes almost get wet when I hear of the China earthquake.....particularly when I knew that the people there are poor... and they are student as well....etcs... I couldn't understand...... Is God putting His people into death?..... that's the way He used to do?.... ?
Merciful God... Your love, ...... I still believe that You love Your people.......
When the disaster broke out, ..... it reminds me that... the coming day of Yours is near...
however, the other question may bring me to consider is, "Should churches discuss this subject to become a very hot topics?" Then, "What is the consequence may cause?"
Perhaps I get the reason why the topic is not widely spread or discuss in a hottest way. perhaps...

Silent Down and Have Peace in mind.

When people tended to arise a very tiny matter to become a very big matter by ignoring the understanding of the decision of the management, and purposely created a story that is not true to make you to be blamed, ...... etcs.... I just think that such an action is so ugly... and foolish. Why is it some people get more interest in the office politics rather than pay more attention to their job? Since the new office has just been set up... and the company is in a situation of restructuring.... every one has been very busy & stressful in the office... and to make matters worse, somebody still want to make troubles...... However, I thank God so much that my superior has a common thought with me, and stand up for me and the department. Thanks God! May God bless us.

Now I know that, the lesson of getting a silent heart to face such problem is so important. When people shot you like an adventurer, the wisdom from God is highly needed, silent heart, peaceful mind. I thank God that I've learned this. How great is your maturity of mind will be shown on the way how you react to the difficulty you're undergoing. Dealing with people is a lifetime lesson. There are so many different kind of man in the world, they have their own belief, personality, character, perspective of life... so forth... However, we cannot deny that God is so great, because He gathered many many different nation all around world to Him, and call them the children of God, they gather in different place to worship Him, praise Him, and learn to know more about Him...

I tell myself,
"When you are facing a very big trouble that make you so angry, and please hold on, and COLD DOWN. You're now need a very silent heart, ... pray and ask for God's wisdom. Have peace. Isn't it?"

Give thanks

I was asked to reach to the office 1 hour earlier than usual this morning, however, there wasn't any door that has been opened to let me go in, ..... before long, my superior called me, then, she brought me to a place nearby to have breakfast with another senior colleague... that is a local market place which is very famous for its very good taste local food & drink... it was my first time being there to have my breakfast... so many people and very busy they entertained to their customers... after that, I followed my superior to the new office... I just wondered what have happened this morning... was it good? why suddenly she seemed so nice to me? was it?... no idea... just Give thanks to God.


Praise be to the LORD forever!
Amen and Amen. Psalm 89:52

Help

It was something that is very hard to tell couldn't cry out from the deepest part of my heart. It was so sad to see the news of the worst earthquake happened in China published on the night-newspaper tonight, as well as those broadcast news on the TV. How could I not sad over the death of people, where the number of death, missing, buried.... is increasingly falling into a very terrible amount... it was a so scaring number ...... people cried for their loved one, friends, family... who have lost... died... killed... missing... I couldn't imagine how sad they are, but I know they're in a very terrible condition...


Let's turn on the prayer's flame, keep it on... sms was filled into my mobile and it was a united prayer for the earthquake... O Lord, stretches out your powerful hands... rescues the victims, give strength to the people, enhance their will in doing the work of relieve... O Lord, please remember. Have your mercy falls down... and your love and righteousness declare...

Eternity & Disaster

Day off. Thanks God!

A topic, I read, "Made to Last Forever", chapter 4, taken from The Purpose driven life.
Am I made to last forever? Am I talking something that is very religious?
"God has... planted eternity in the human heart." Ecclesiastes 3:11
One day, man's body will damage, and spirit will last for another stage - world, where? eternity... what is eternity all about? heaven and hell. For Christianity, it will always bring their minds to the point of heaven, everlasting life, the home above, that's my hope too. As the Lord God has already granted me an eternal life.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

It is very sad to hear of the news of the strong earthquake occurred in China, it was reported at tonight news, about tens of thousands people were estimated dead, or missing in the tragedy.May God bless those who are still alive and being caught in the collapsed building and land can be rescued as soon as possible,... May the merciful God remembers the victims, and bless those who involve in the works of relieving the victims of the disaster.

"Everything comes from God alone.
Everything lives by his power,
and everything is for his glory."
(Romans11:36)

Life seems so tough at recent time, days, months, years... however, In God I put my trust.
Everything will be fine soon.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

"Are You Looking After Your Mother?" [Ephesians 6:1-2]

This is the message shared on the Sunday Service today. It is "Mother's Day" today. I was so appreciated those brother & sister shared their testimony on stage, and have some words for their lovely mother. It was so sweet, so warm, so touching... to see people's gratefulness to their mom on the TV, church... I was disappointed as I can't celebrate with my mom, I am working abroad..... perhaps I need to do something.

Since I am struggling with certain problems at workplace as well as some other matter, I am a bit down, ... I do not know why are these happen. I asked God for mercy and kindness. I try hard to push myself to the positive way, pray that God will help me in a way that it will be good.

The question, "Are you looking after your mother?"
I heard it this morning while the Pastor was asking us, but I paused myself for a while... because I am not at my mom's side. Sorry mom.

Happy Mother's Day! Good health! Take care! speaking to my mom tonight... God bless you,mom.

God is good.

I couldn't take a good rest last night... mosquitoes, and housemate talked on phone noisily aroused me. How come I went to bed early was frequently disturbed by the mosquitoes or people around recently?... so bad!

I was asked not to take my day off on schedule, but to make it delay one day, two days or etcs. Usually I was just tired about this to be happened so often... because I was really really so busy and tired.
Many times, just take it easy, think it the other way round, perhaps God has something surprise for me, which is mean to be GOOD. Am I not right!

I miss my family tonight....

Tomorrow is Mother's Day! ...

In God I Trust

Thank God! I've got a good rest last night, felt good today.
Did not know why I was fascinated to view on political articles of several politician(s)' blog tonight.
Perhaps I wasn't too concern about the country, the society... etcs for quite some time. Because
Everyday I've been too busy with my own matters-problems... works...
then, what about God's business?
Where do I invest the most, there is the place my heart will be.
I like the words shared in the facebook of a senior state cabinet, which is her religious view:

In God I trust.

It is a very simple declaration of statement, but I just think that it comes with a very strong confident and will. It is not easy to say, ...... but what I think is that our faith cultivates the very high possibility of the accomplishment of work/plan. It could be a miracle. Isn't it?
For the Lord our God is the Highest, the most powerful God. Hallelujah!!

God is in Control

Supposed I was able to have a good sleep last night, I slept early, but because of the loud voice of my housemates, they laughed so loud continuously... and it aroused me from sleep.... I looked at the clock, and it was about 1.25am... the worse was, when I opened the door, looked at them, one of them asked me, "what's the matter ?" ... I lifted my eyes to the wall-clock... you all did not know what time is now? silently I said in my heart... then, I went to toilet... walked back room, then only they closed up the door, perhaps they afraid of my temper... so bad... I was hardly to fall sleep later......
so busy... stress... too much stuff at work covered me up with tensions, & troubles, which made me nearly fainted...
Thanks God! He made a way to lead me back to the old office in the late afternoon time, ... I didn't need to face too much stress there... and there I was able to go home earlier... Thanks God!

Something just happened unpredictably, and gave me a shock...... I can sense that it is God who hold my all... Thanks God!

The Four Facts of God

Thanks God! Day off.
A day just passes so quick... however, I thank God! As I've got enough sleep last night, I think.
Tonight I called back home... it was so good to have talks with my parent.


"The Four Facts Of God.", it is the tiny booklet for the use of sharing the gospel, it has just placed on my table, I got this from church 1-2 weeks ago... it is to share God's love... and has been printed into English-Chinese combined version...
What are the 4 facts of God?
Fact 1 - God love us
Fact 2 - God's love not experienced
Fact 3 - God demonstrates His love
Fact 4 - God has given you a choice... to accept or to reject


Have we not well-prepared ourselves yet to share with other(non-believer) the gospel? Or we have been too busy with our daily works... until we say only, "I have no time to say about the God's things"?

Don't wait until it's too late!

Late, still I was able to join the praise & worship session... Thanks God!
"the secret place"... this words of the song caught my heart's attention... where is this secret place? my secret place? where shall this place be? It's God! Great things will happen in the secret place... God so great, so amazing.
"How to live a life that is true in the midst of suffering." (1 Peter 4:1-6)
I felt sorry to God. Because I couldn't concentrate so much... I was distracted... due to my worry? my weary? my problem?

I appreciated those who bravely walked before the stage there to commit themselves to God again for their dedication to God in response to the calling of Pastor, and Pastor prayed for them. Thanks GOD!


Enough is enough. Do not delay... no more wasting time... it is true.
"DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE!"
Preach the gospel... love God...
Following Jesus, there is no turning back?
and why? if you want to turn back? worth it?

Faith, Hope & Love

Faith, Hope and Love.
The greatest one, is LOVE.
But, among the three, I cannot have no one.
Hope without love and faith, life is empty.
Love without hope and faith, life is a lost.
Faith without love and hope, life is confusing.
sound logic?... How can it be?
It's just a personal perspective only.
So what do you think?
Isn't it life is so complicated to comprehend?

I am remembered

Life is tough, but
God is good,
the road seems so narrow, but
the shinning light so bright,
You are not forgetful,
morning and night, every day,
I am remembered in Your loving kindness,
Have mercy on me, in You
I am set free.

New Beginning of the Month

Labour Day! It is holiday. Thanks God!... It is good to take rest, since I do not take my day off for almost 2 weeks.

I called up to the service center this afternoon, thanks to God! My external hard drive is back from the manufacturer's service center, they change a new one for me, though the outlook designed is slightly different a bit to the one I bought, however, they told me it is similar to the one I bought when I called back to them. By the way, I've checked it, it is okay to me, in addition, I prefer the design of the USB connector of this drive. And it works well tonight. Thanks God!

I bought 2 magazines today, one is about travel and leisure ... I long for holiday at some other place outside the country... when talk about travelling, the geographical knowledge is considered a critical issue, but the main one is all about "$$". Life is just so realistic.
