Guard our heart

“Everything that God allows in the life of a believer has been divinely designed. There are no mistakes in the plan that was made for you long before the foundation of the earth. Whatever is happening in your life that doesn’t seem right or fair has been allowed for a distinct purpose. It is never easy to suffer through our painful trials, but it is the working of our faith that gives us endurance to stay in the race and not give up.”
~ Marianne Lordi

To walk in faith is a struggle... I remember Pastor Joey said to understand how bad you were as a person is to try to be a good one... Our journey to heaven is indeed a struggle but always remember not to give up. Never let envy, hate, jealousy, sorrow control your heart for its like an elephant's ant that will eat the very goodness of your soul... been there and its not a pleasant experience for me and my loved one... and just had the urges to share this to you so you will know it too... "Above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life" ~ Proverbs 4:23

Thriving Vs. Striving

(Adaptation from Thriving: Pstr Jun, VCF)

Are you striving or thriving in your life right now?

Are you doing things by your own strength?

Or are you flowing like a stream of life?

Striving ( Surviving) (Dead in the Spirit)

- Doing things by your own strength.

---- Just like a dead tree even when surrounded by life..... inside its empty... its dead in the spirit striving to live on its own and unaware of its life source... God.....

"You are doing things right now that hinder your growth you are dead in the spirit... Because of sin...."

~ Pstr. Jun

Romans 3

God’s Faithfulness

1 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.

- It says in the scripture that even at times we fail and sin... God has entrusted us with his very words... for Guidance.... his words is the signature of his faithfulness to us...

Romans 6:6

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

Romans 6:11

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹¹ Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

----- It said that when God has been crucified he took our sin and die with it so "we" will no longer be slaves of sin....

How to know if you are doing God's will?

You are Thriving - (Flowing) (Alive in Christ)

---you are flowing like a tree which lives by its source of life - GOD

~ Pstr. Jun

---- "When you are doing things by your own strength you are striving, but when you are doing God's will you are thriving because God has given you his grace"

" To know that it is God's will you don't even have to exert any effort to get it.... why? because God himself has given it to you without even trying.... because of his love... he has given you his grace....."

Something to look forward to...

"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. You can't see the future, yet you know it will come; you can't see the air, yet you continue to breathe."

A New Year.... A New Beginning.... Hello 2012...

Every year few of us make resolution list which at the end of the year...

Some...

......are happy to accomplish it...

Others...

......unsatisfied for not even close to achieving it....

New Year's resolution was never on my list...

I guess because, I was simply one of the many, who get caught up with it...

I value words and intentions of some one I love....

Rather than list of uncertainties....

For me, a promise meant to a person.... is more relevant than a list of resolution I made for myself...

A promise will never be forgotten....

A list will be torn out and trashed...

I may not have the courage to make a resolution list for myself...

But I always keep my promises....

Here's to a new chapter in our lives...

Here's to a new beginning.....

#1 Reason I love Twilight Saga

They may deny they're love for each other...

but these gestures definitely tells a different story..

When you love some one...

It shows...

As the saying goes... "actions speaks louder than words"

I just adore Robert how he is with Kristen...

the look, he gave her...

being so proud of her...

the sweet, gentleman gestures...

and above all how he adores her during interviews...

love the best part, when he looks at her all the time while answering queries...

Love shows....

It may be all tactics... but who knows...

I know what I'm seeing.....

and I want to believe its love...

P.S. loved the song too.... ^_^

here's the video of the song....
