Think God put us where He thinks is best for us. People say they cant imagine how they are goin to survive if they are born in a non christian family suffering those persecution. But I think, personally, for me, I wont be able to survive as a christian if I am born into a christian family. Without those persecution, I guess I won't appreciate or cherish the very fact that I can go to church.

Every Saturday is indeed a miracle for me to go church.

People dying to get into church and the people dying to get out of church, the irony that I just can't understand.

I always like to go to the coast and take a good look at the sea, its grand view and vastness that stretched out beyond the horizon. The vast mass of the sea always reminded me how fragile and small I am, yet God the creater of the universe, chose me and called out to me. Not once, but as many times as it was needed to make me believe that He is the faithful God.

Joy unspeakable, love so unique, strength so mighty, power unimaginable and words that are so true. In the mist of persecution He taught me courage, in the situation of impossiblilities He taught me faith, in cases of poverty He taught me how to give. When I think back of the things He taught me, I would always smile and say "my glorious".

He saves, seriously.

Its been ages since I touched my blog. Anyway pastor was preaching about the importance and the very essence of what worship is. The message just came at the right time at the right moment, where worhsip to me had become kind of like a practice or routine, but now i know the true meaning of what worship is all about.

Worship Is

Obedience to the Lord
[Everyone can say they Love God and would sacrifice evrything for God. But when it comes to the point where actions must be taken for that sacrifice....how many will really say " I will Lord, for your Glory"]

More than a song
[True worship last even after praise and worship, the presence of God will lingers in you every moment evryday. It last]

Putting God First
[Basically, to put God the number one in our lives]

Preparing For

Worship

The bible says that ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you[Mattew 7:7]. So what you seek for during praise and worship is just a pleasing and satisfactory experience, at the end of the service, all you will get is just satisfaction, but your life will be the same as before you entered the praise and worship service, never been impacted by the awesome majestic presence and power of the almigty God.

Come to God with a heart of expectation, expecting God to show you more of his glory, expecting God to show you His mercy and power, expecting God to touch your heart and change your negative thoughts around.

"Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."[John 16:24]

A pity that many of us dinn't come prepared to meet God. While our faithful God always came prepared to help us and resuce us.

Casting crowns-praise you in this storm.

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

-You are my greatest encourager, even when I embrace the storms of life...you are close to me wiping away the tears i cried.

You choose to love me even when I am so worthless and useless.

And I will give up everything I love that I might gain your love, your perfect love.

The story of David and the goliath - A young boy who killed a giant with just a sling shot.

The giant was huge, his voice strike like thunder and all the soldiers feared him. But despite all the fearful threat and discouraging insults, David still ran to fight that giant, with only one thing in mind....God.

Our problems are like giants, it may seem impossible or threatening that the very thought of it makes you stumble with fear. However, we caqn view our probems with different perspective. From God's view, He will fight for us and help us, for He will never forsake us or leave leave us, and this is the confidence and assurance that we have from God which is the very essence that allows david to fight the giant goliath.

If you Focus on Giant...You stumble.
If You Focus on God...Giant stumble.

For if God is with us, who will be against us.
Fear the one that can take away both physical body as well as the soul instead of the one who can only take away our physical body.

Fearing People is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.
[Proverbs 29:25]

Have you ever been so devastaed some point in your live that you hope someone will be there to save you? Desperately wanting to find some relief from those troubles you are facing? Seeking throughout your whole entire life time just to find a place where you can call it sacturary.

I found it. I found someone who will stand by me in the storms of life, able to rescue me from my troubles giving me refuge and peace where I can call it sacturary.
I found the greatest love that this world have ever recieved. He is called the saviour Christ Jesus.

Let me tell you what are some of the most wonderful things I learned from this journey with Him, or infact the journey He invited me on.
1. True strength comes from the joy of the Lord.
2.Faith really move moutains, moutains of troubles, moutains of illness and many others.
3.My soul is now free now because Jesus paid it all at the cross.
4.His words and promises is really comforting and assuring.
5.Tougher decision makes tougher faith.
6.He is really the God of miracles. Trust me, God never fails to suprise me that makes me crazily shouting His praises.
7.Calm down and be still, you will know that He(Jesus) is God, the king of kings and the lord of lords.
8.Do not ask what God can do for you, but what you can do for God. Thats what pastor recently told me, while my dad always tells me "do not ask what people can do for you, but what you can do for people."
9.God wants the best for you.
10.God love us more than we love Him, and He will always be there for us, always.

There are much much more things that I have learned from the amazing journey that it will take days to list out all. I am sure all those who enbark on this journey will have their own story to tell too. But for me it is really an honor to be found in Him, the creator and saviour.

Dear God,
You guided me and taught me even when I failed you. In troubled times, You always rescued me without fail. Trepidation overwhlemed me but you came to calm my heart. When nothing seems possible, I found joy and peace in you, yet you make it possible. Rain or shine you stretch out your arms to help me, giving me strength and hope, putting a smile on my face. I will never regret knowing you, the one who heal my broken heart and making it whole again.

I will Love you, trust you, worship you and follow you always....and forever.
