Last friday I'm actually having grapes for lunch l, then while eating those which already fell off the stems out of nowhere I suddenly wondered why it got different shades, some are more violet and some are lighter. I then picked 5 pieces, raised my palm with grapes and asked my colleague, "Lieu, why do you think grapes got different shades?" At first he was also wondering why I asked but once I heard his answer I knew already that I need to write it down. He answered, "maybe its about the nutrition. Maybe some get much some get less so the color differ. I don't know. Did I answer your question?" I laughed and said, I also don't know that's why I asked but the answer you gave me is just awesome. I was amazed and immediately I looked again in the grapes seeing the branches there and I thought, I guess in a way we are also like that. Those grapes came out from the same vines but turned out to be different. Nothing is exactly the same in shades and size. We are all created by one God but I guess, the size and shade of our faith differs based on the nutrition that we get from our source. How often do we really nourish our spiritual life? How much nutrition does our soul gets everyday? I hope and pray that we grow in our faith with a good shade and shape because we seek to be healthy in our personal devotion and commitment with God. Be that bright and full of color christian! Have a healthy spiritual life everyone..😊
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. - John 15:5 Galatians 1:18-24
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter,[a] and remained with him fifteen days. 19 But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. 20 (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.) 21 Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. 22 And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ. 23 But they were hearing only, “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.” 24 And they glorified God in me. So, I start my journey back on this wonderful epistles of Paul to the Galatians. Unsurprisingly surprising that I will witness once again how the bible speaks to us in different ways no matter how many times you have read it. Here I see Paul again, so faithful to his calling. He seems tired-proof (my own term, no need to search for google😂) in serving God. He moves from different places to another, I admire his deligence and obedience so much and he truly inspires me in many ways but what he said in the end of chapter 1 really pinch my heart. He is like an unknown missionary preaching to the people. All they know about him was "HE IS THE BAD GUY BEFORE WHO TURNED GOOD". I'm amazed of how many of them truly witness ed Gods power through Paul's life. They were convinced and convicted not by words alone but of the transformation they have seen in Paul. I feel like when all of them saw Paul preaching that time they are saying in themselves, "The change in him must be Really By Gods Power Alone." How many of you turned to God because you have seen people close to you, enemies before, loved ones, family members or simple strangers you always passed by that changed radically after meeting Christ personally? How many of you has been touched by peoples' transformation just to be with God. Paul was no exemption, we are all sinners who are continually being transformed by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today I pray that like Paul, we will never listen on this world shout of who we used to be, who we are in the flesh and who we are in other peoples' eyes but who we are in Christ, who we are in the eyes of God. May we continue to grow in faith, that no matter what, we will stand firm to defend the Gospel by living it out in our own life despite of the pressure of this world to turn us back to who we used be before we met Christ. Good morning.😊😊😊 Have a continious transformed life ahead... When I took this photo through my phone last time I went for street evangelism in marina bay I did not really pay attention of what's happening to the picture. I was too distracted of how grainy it was because it's too dark and that is all the aperture of a phone camera can do that I just neglect it and store it, then I realized while browsing my camera roll today to get an inspiration of photos I have taken to give impartation that this photo means so much.
Today God brought me to the book of Obadiah and it was just one chapter with the prophesy of the judgement of Edom and Deliverance of Israel. When I was reading through the book I felt the strong presence of Gods protection and covering among the people whom He is well pleased. If we will read the book like Pastor Benny Ho told us all before there seems to be impartiality but true enough God hated the Nation of Edom because it was built with the prideful bloodline of Esau the brother of Jacob and from then on the spirit flows and captured by the whole nation. It was a reminder for me and for all of us that we become what we feed our soul and everyone will see it. I prayed that each one of us will be filled with the spirit of the Lord. All the days of our life. Then when I tried to view the condition of the house of Jacob Amazingly I saw Gods covering to the people who chose to serve Him despite of all suffering. When I looked at the photo of that marina bay sands I took I notice that in the photo though it was very dark that time the clouds was outstanding. You will see a very tangible covering in the place wherein it's supposed to be dark and clouds may not be so visible. I felt like during that time of despair this is how God proved His protection and covering to the house of Jacob. Edom might be a powerful Nation, built with warriors and strong army but then nothing can go against the might and power of God. That moment for Israel maybe a dark period but then God still chose to show up and bless the house of Jacob and deliver them because they pleased God. There was this sense of urgency in my heart when I read and reflect on this passage. I really do hope and pray that we will not be astray and remain in the house of God, in the body of Christ, that even the devil shoot us with many troubles and put us in the darkest moment of our life we will still CHOOSE TO SEE GODS PROTECTION, COVERING, LOVE AND GRACE towards us and Magnify it so big that all our problems and suffering will seems to be so small. In Jesus Name! Good morning..😊😊😊😊 The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the LORD has spoken. - Obadiah 1:18 When I took this photo through my phone last time I went for street evangelism in marina bay I did not really pay attention of what's happening to the picture.

It made me smile and say, "Wow, there are women serving the church who also stand out those times and Paul never hesitated to mentor them." In a way it was an eye opener to me and a refresher. All of us can serve God in the best capacity that we have the question is always ARE YOU WILLING MY FRIEND? And when we happened to say yes to the call many struggles, many temptations and stumbling blocks will come along the way because satan will never stop to hinder us from doing the work of God. Interestingly Paul mentioned in Romans 16:17, "Now I urge you brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them." In our walk with Christ many of us will also be tested and questioned and get confused but knowing the very word of God is the best armor and protecting yourself by the guidance of the Holy Spirit is the best way to deal with it. We are all in the flesh and all weak in the flesh, anyone of us can be used by the devil to turn against each other and the church. That's why Paul warned us in bringing divisions and encouraged us to stay away, that we may protect the Body of Christ. In my walk with God it's never a smooth path wherein we can get along with all people but amazingly The Holy Spirit will always have His way to let you discern what to do when you are caught in a situation of dispute. In this world nothing can be done perfectly but God will always act on behalf of us, Paul continue saying,
Romans 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Today I pray as well to each one of us, whatever the devil tries to throw into our life to weaken us all of it will be crushed under your feet through the Power of our Father in Heaven! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is suficient enough to strengthen us! 😊🙏🏻 Good morning. Passing in The Fullerton we saw this piece of art displayed for public to see. I decided to take a photo and it turned out to be nice. This piece of art was made of empty paper rolls with some colored paper design. It was a random effect of light. If you will notice in different angles you will see different light beams coming out of the rolls. It depends on where the rolls are placed. Will it receive enough amount of light to be highlighted to will it be in a dark spot? It depends on the angle as well and the cover if it is partially open or wide open for it to transmit light beams. Well then same goes with out lives my friends. It depends on where you place yourself at to actually receive light. Do you enjoy to be in the corner, in the dark, to be your own strength? Or would you rather fight to get that spot to be in the light and receive more? Will you seek the Light whom is Jesus? Will you seek His presence rather than stay where you are comfortable regardless how dark it is? But once we received, it doesn't stop there. Will you be someone who will receive but just let it flow through you and pass on the light beams so many can benefit from your lights or will you take hold of that light and cover it partially and just give away which ever makes it through the little opening, little opportunity you have given for that light to comes out? I don't know but Jesus commanded us to be the Salt of the earth and light of the world. God commanded us to, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (Mt. 5:16)Will you be the light to a friend, to an enemy, to a family, to your loved ones, to the poor, to the weak and to the strangers? Will you choose to shine? #wordofGod #devotion #momentinthepark #thankful #timetoponder #wordofGod #reflection #light #saltandlight #christianliving #followerofChrist #passion #calling
In this world you can be in the top or in the valley but it doesn't matter where you are because one day, if we don't choose to give up and keep moving on, we will realize that in due time if we happened to be in the valley today we can climb up again. There is always a way to go up. There is always a way to be in a better place. Life may seems scary sometimes seeing these tall and huge blocks in front of you but believe that you can! "Faith moves mountains." And once you conquer that giant mountain in front of you and reached the top, your reward is there, the comfort of the beautiful scenery right before your eyes. You will just say while staring at the beauty of Gods creation, praise the Name of my Creator! See the great opportunity that is beyond those mountains of life! Be amaze and just say It is true, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 😊😊😊
Are you seeing huge mountains in front of you today? Well then move that mountain or better yet, climb over you would know what is on the other side only if you try to conquer it.😊😊😊 #conqueror #climb #israel #timetoponder #wordofGod #christianliving #faith #believe #simplicity #Lifetothefullest #travelstoke #thankful #blessed #favoured #Godslove #nature #passion #calling #nevergiveup #obey #life #onelife #onepurpose #oneGod Romans 15:13 (NKJV)
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 😊 Life situations and struggles can be "hope" draining sometimes but God is the unlimited hope supplier. Whenever you feels like giving up, losing hope, losing joy and restless, full of worries and got no peace well then good news, supermarket may be able to supply different variaties of food and stuff for our conveniece but God can fully give those which can never be bought from this world. We can never depend our hope, joy, love and peace in the people around us, not even our family, our work and all material things on this world because those don't last so long, even the strongest person in the world can still run off of those. Friends, the everlasting joy and hope and peace and love and everything only comes from the Father in Heaven. Give your full Trust in Him! Worry Not! Believe! 😊😊😊 Good morning.. Romans 15:4-6 (NKJV)
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Life One thing I am sure of, People will hurt you and You will hurt people. Agree or Not? Nobody can escape from this. Little or big we will have an argument, misunderstanding, debate and all sort of fight and battle in mind, in the heart or actions. But Today, i really pray that to the best ability that we can with the help and comfort of the scripture we will show more patience and grace towards our brothers and sisters. I believe like what is written in Romans 15:4-6, if we only seek Gods wisdom and guidance from His word, we can show more grace and understanding. Today I pray that each one of us will be touched by the Holy Spirit. We may have our differences and weaknesses but if we unite as one there is Great power that comes our from unity, there is a great power that comes from a collaboration of praise and worship of different people serving and worshipping God with ONE MIND, ONE HEART AND ONE SOUL. Body Of Christ! Let's Be united in our Worship! 😊😊😊In Jesus Name. Amen!!!! Do you have fear of heights? If no, good for you but I guess most of us got something we are so afraid to do. Some people are so afraid to stand in the platform or stage to speak, like the stage will eat them whenever they see it.😂 Some are afraid of total darkness. Yeah, it can be you. But in this world where fear is everywhere the only thing we can do is to face it. We will never know if we can if we will never try to conquer our fears. There are things that needed to be done and for most of us fear is the ultimate reason why we can never step up and move up and do it.
There are some who's fear is rejection and failure. In most cases if you are this person you will hardly achieve anything because you are afraid to start to begin with. When we fail it's ok! Don't be too hard on yourself and just try again, rise up from falling! Stand up and continue life. We all fail! We all fall! But those people whom you see still standing are the ones who chose to rise up after they fall while you are still in the ground. Today I pray and declare courage to everyone! The devil may say that we can't! "But God say you can through Me!" If God is with us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31 We will never fulfill the task given to us by God because the devil will also try his best to scare us and condemn us. Believe that God called you to be mighty and great! Have a full of courage life everyone! God said in Ezra 10:4, "Arise, for this matter is your responsibility.We also are with you. Be of good courage, and do it.” Romans 14:8-9 (NIV)
8 If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. Anyone of you live just for the sake of living? Just to sustain until you get to your 40's, just to carry on until your 60's and just work, wait until you get to your old age and die? Do you think that way? Do you plan to live your life that way? Well, almost more than half of the people in the world thinks and lives that way. Like life is just a cycle that we all are oblige and force to be in. 😳 My friend it is not like that. Life will have a meaning when we finally found out our mission here on earth that was given by God Himself. We Are not supposed to just grow up, graduate, work, get married and after that focus on kids, work, work hard, work harder. Alamak! Like your already buried 6feet under the ground while you still have breath! Friend, you are special and each of us got special mission from God. If you are called to be a mother or a father be the pastor of the house. Teach your children to be who they need to be for God. If you are called in the market place do your best to increase your influence not for you but for the greatness of God to be revealed. We are not robots nor zombies. God gave us life for a reason. The same reason why He created us is still the same reason why He kept us alive until today. If we are so far from that reason, then you are almost dying my friend! Turn to God, seek His will and Live out His will. We should live and die for only one reason, that is for the reason why God created us, the same goes why Jesus went all the way to calvary to die for us so we can have the freedom to fulfill that calling. 😊 Have a long lasting life guyz! Today i pray that each of us will live our life for God alone. In Jesus Name. Amen! Want to live? It's always about us willing to take the next step. I remember Pastor Christie said that we should not be afraid to think big and to set a high goal in serving God. "If it doesn't stretch you or no risk at all it's a vision of a man(natural) and not from God(supernatural)." Living is all about risk, when we are growing up some maybe excited of moving to highschool, to college, go to work and eventually start a family but for most people it's frightening. The change is scary! The adjustment is mind blowing but we will never move on, move forward and move up if we let fear eat us up. God always prepare the best life for us but we will never taste it if we are not willing to even move our feet to step on that life God wants us to experience. Take it like taking pictures, sometimes you need to wait patiently to get a nice shot, there are some where in you need to act fast and just choose to take a shot otherwise you will missed it and it can never happen again. Life is full of things to be discovered, to be experience and to enjoy when we start living how God wants us to. Today pray and be bold. Ask God what He wants you to do. If turns out to be big take a risk just ask! Life is too short to be wasted! And the only significant worth of living is living for the glory of God!
Joshua 1:9(NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” #wordofGod #encouragement #livinglife #life #Lifetothefullest #onelife #onepurpose #oneGod #risk #ask #AllforJESUS #adventure #love #camera #pictures #capturingmoments 😊 So, the last time black and white photo became colorful...😊
In life we choose to bring colors to our lives and to the life of others. Tough times will come and everything will be grey but that is this world impression. That is what this fallen world want you to interpret life. The devil will take away the colors one by one. That devil loves to take but Jesus loves to give. He gave His life for us to have life. Don't waste it by living a grey life. "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." - John 10:10 The choice will still be with you. It's your choice to let this world take your colors or worst you yourself gave it away. These colors and joy of life got only one source. Like what King Solomon said in the book of ecclesiastes, life is "Vanity, vanity, all is VANITY." Life is worthless, of no value and LIFELESS if you live for this world UNDER the SUN. A life lived intended for the Kingdom Up In Heaven is the colorful life. Today If you are losing your colors or all colors were gone and you are living a LIFELESS life then turn to God. Turn the pages to JOB Chapter 42. Claim the Victory! Seek for Life from the very giver of life...😊 Turn to Jesus! Breakthrough! Breakforth! Choose to live! Have a Colorful life everyone! 😊 "For the first time in a long time, I was required to STOP all of the worthy, kingdom-building things I was doing and take a look inside myself. Here's the question I sought and am still seeking to answer: "What do the poverty issues, the AIDS issues, the justice issues in our world demand of someone like me with the influence God graciously has given me?" This is an important question to answer because as a pastor, I believe my primary job is to teach what the Bible says about the great issues of the day. NOT SOME OF THE ISSUES, but ALL OF THEM. The number of times scripture mentions God's passionate concern for the poor, the oppressed, the widows, the orphans, those who are incarcerated, and those who have no voice is astounding!" - Bill Hybels (holy discontent)
This is exactly how I feel right now. There's a great value for me to keep doing what I am doing right now as a church leader because I believe every soul counts but there's that undeniable pain in my heart to reach out and share and speak to those people who have less opportunity to taste the beauty of this life we are given. My soul cries out to those who can't even have the glimpse of love in their oppressed life while we got all we have to let them have the feel of being loved. I only have one life, so as you! I want my one and only life be of the great value and worth by following my passion, my holy discontent for the people that will not just need my effort but I'm sure they will be the people that will show me and teach me how a great life can be. I want to have that life God intentionally design for me! How about you? James 4:14-15 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what isyour life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” This is what stirs Mr Bill's heart and leads him to that thinking, James 4:26-27 "If anyone of you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep one self unspotted from the world." If you want to be a force for good, then, like David, you've got to choose to take action in the area of passion God has placed inside your heart.
-Bill Hybels (Holy Discontent) Reading is one thing I usually do while traveling by plane and I guess I needed to hear the part i just read. In the second part of the book where in Bill Hybels shares something on how we can develop our Holy Discontent once we all got figured it out. "When you find your holy discontent, FEED IT." - Bill Hybels We can't run away from the passion God has put into our hearts no matter how difficult it may seem. Most people will have the tendency to run away from it and just pretent to be deaf or blind when the Holy discontent, that thing they can't stand is frightening. We have to open our ears, our eyes, our heart and our soul so we can hear God leading us to our calling. We are all created for something. Be the next David. He couldn't stand the giant Goliath mocking his great God and he just had that fire within him to actually DO SOMETHING! Let's entertain that holy discontent, get closer to it and feed it. Someday, once your finally there working on that Holy discontent and enjoying it no matter how difficult it may be, I believe you and I can glance back in our life and we can totally say, It had been a life worth living for and I couldn't wait for more God. 😊😊😊 #passion #calling #travelinghobby #holydiscontent What do you feel when you see the sun rises and set? Sometimes i feel like it's too magical. Everywhere I travel I always take a photo of it. Then i will realize that it is one of the best act of God's love to us. Everytime the sun set then rises it signifies hope to all of us. It gives that hope that another day is over but God is giving us another day to make a new beginning, a freh start. Another day of another chance for us to make our lives right, another chance to figure out our purpose, another day to finally choose to be happy and peaceful and to love and to care and give. When ever the sun rises again it gives us HOPE that we are given another opportunity to do things we neglected to do, say words we kept unspoken, to forgive people who have hurt us, eat food we always wanted to try and simply make another moment that is worth adding to your life journey.
You? What do you feel whenever you see the sun set and rises again? Share your thoughts..😊😊😊 tag someone whom you wanted to have that another day and another chance to go crazy with and take the adventure of life with full of hope and FAITH..😊 Hebrew 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." #livelife #thankful #love #hope #faith #newbeginning #kainos #sunset #sunrise #Godscreation Most often God seeks our attention. He will do everything to get our eyes fix on Him for our own good. How about you? What can you do to show God how much you wanted to be in His presence? What are you willing to do,give or sacrifice to let God know you are willing to obey and do His will into your life? You may no need to do such extravagant work to get God see your effort. Zacchaeus just climb a tree to seek Jesus,to be able to have the glimpse of the Saviour even just that, never expecting He will turn out to be the host. It doesn't matter how much, how big and how little we can actually do to show God we are willing. The condition of our heart is what He is looking at. Zaccheus may not be worthy, he may be the worst sinner that time, climbing a tree may the only option he can do to get closer to Jesus but it's his drive and willingness to do that such act that captures the attention of Jesus. You? How much you wanted to capture the eyes of our Creator? How eager you are to be close to Jesus? How much you wanted to be in His presence?
Luke 19:1-10 (nkjv) 1Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him,[a] and said to him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” 6 So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully. 7 But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.”8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.”9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; 10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” #christianlife #calling #wordofGod #Israel #sycamore #traveler Matthew 16:13-20 (NKJV)
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed[a] in heaven.” 20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ. Who is Jesus for you? How does your life speaks about who Jesus is? 😊 I hope that it's a life with a big sign "JESUS IS ALL I NEED. He is My Lord And Saviour, my Redeemer and my Provider! He Loves me very much and I want to love you and you and you as well!" Life is short make it a worth living life! 😊😊😊 (So blessed when I was reading this passage and I actually stepped in Caesarea Philippi.)😊 #wordofGod #devotion #WhoisJesus #livinglife #caesarea #Israel #allforJesus #israeltrip #traveler #travelforJesus #bible #learning #Godspeaks #testimony #favoured #livinglife #reflection #christianlife #followerofChrist #calling #passion #thankful #blessed It's always been true. The visions we have may seems impossible to be done until it's done! People have the tendency to be fearful about anything. Going to a new place, Promotion at work, Commiting in a relationship, getting married, having kids, going where God calls you, pioneer something, Act upon something, admitting we are wrong, loss someone and all that! So most of the people ends up to be just a dreamer and never a visionary! Never a vision doer! Last night my TL told me that I was a shocker! Because it is very seldom for people who talks so much, share ideas and suggest things to be done that can actually implement and do it. I may really have so much to say, I agree with that(non-stop when I am sharing something). But i do the other way around. 😊 I end up having so much to say after I actually done something.
God will put vision in my soul then put the desire in my heart to have it done and actually gives me that strength and courage to actually do it and sustain me by His mercy, love, wisdom and guidance. That's how it happens. And after all is done, I ends up a walking and living testimony with so much to give and say and share because that is exactly what God wants. He wants His works to be proclaimed through one person life to make an impact to the many. The question is how much percentage of your life have you given to God to be in control? 50%? The other 50% is still for you to make it happen? 70/30? Whatever your answer is I leave it to you. I just hope that in time we can all give about 90% of us to God to be in control. Nobody will be perfect but my prayer is that we can give until that 90% and actually give God that full control so He can fulfill His will for our lives. 😊😊😊 #LifetotheFullest #livelife #followerofChrist #doer #visionary #vision #life #passion #calling #thankful In fact, I think that when you choose to live out of the energy of your holy discontent, elbowing your way past the troubles and struggles and injustices surrounding you in determined pursuit of the "better things" God has promised in His restoration plan, all of heaven rejoices! In the midst of the celebration, God probably looks over at the angels, who are all whooping and hollering in excitement, smiles a knowing smile, and says, "Looks like we've got another Moses on our hands..." -Holy Discontent by Bill Hybels
I wonder what God sees when He looks at me. I am the next who? Or I will be the first who? I am not really sure but all I wanted is to have that smile in His face and that look, like saying... "She's just living exactly how I created her to be." 😊😊😊 (Nothing beats a good conversation with the Lord early in the Morning.) #reading #bookworm #wisdom #earlyconversationwithTheLord #thankful #Godspeaks #morning #reminder #lovemuch #timetoponder #followerofChrist #childofGod #HolyDiscontent #livinglife #nazareth #Lifetothefullest #simplicity When you are too excited already and can't sleep anymore!!! Hahahah... I Woke up very early this morning with a very thankful heart. God really has His ways to make us realize what we all need to see in life. This life is not perfect there will be flaws and inconsistency. We may not have what we all want to have but can be happy and contented on what we just have. We may not end up who we want to be when we are still kids but turned out to be someone better. We may have lost and gain. We might not please everyone, people can hate you just becase they can but God will also give you people, real friends, genuine and authentic people that through thick and thin, went through many storms, went through lots of testings will still remain in your life. I am truly grateful waking up this morning realizing that life really is more than we can grasp. I am thankful to those people that stayed in my life despite of many testings. I am thankful for those people who have known me inside out and managed to love me for who I am. "I always believe that friendships, and any kind of relationship that has been tested many times but can still manage to come out well at the end of the day is the strongest of all when the foundation is the Love of God." I am thankful for those bunch of people who can be as funny and playful like me but can always be a great comforter, listeners and encouragers in the time of need. I am thankful that they are many! 😊 Thank You Lord for blessing and surrounding me with people that will make me feel your tangible presence and love everyday.
I am thankful God that you put me in a family that brought me up so well. We may not be perfect but it feels just perfect to be born with them. You have blessed me with so much that I can stand every morning thanking You for everything you have given into my life. Help me stand every Morning with praises in my lips to glorify you eveyday. Good morning Lord! ~ 1 Chronicles 23:30 #morning #excited #blessedtobless #Blessing #Godsway #Godslove #friendship #brothersandsistersinChrist #timetoponder #thankful #blessed #wordofGod #christianlife #passion #followerofChrist #simplelife #simplicity One of the greatest feeling i have felt in my whole life is when I'm in the mission field. When I'm with kids who are all strangers to me. The best feeling i will never trade with anything else of this world and i will never ever want to forget that feeling. So, for me not to forget it I need to remind myself always of that feeling. For me to remember that feeling over and over again I need to feel it again and again!!! Regardless of where I go.😊😊😊 see yah soon kids of Indonesia...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 one more to go before Israel trip and one more after!

Joshua 4:4-9New King James Version (NKJV)
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from every tribe; 5 and Joshua said to them: “Cross over before the ark of the Lordyour God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, 6 that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’ 7 Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.” 8 And the children of Israel did so, just as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as the Lord had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. 9 Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day. God asked Joshua to command the people to take stones from the Jordan river that dried up. These 12 stones are still standing at this day as a remembrance of how great God is and how He have shown favour and grace over the people of Israel. These stones are meant to be a memorial and a proven testimony of How God worked in their lives at that time. So the next generation will never stop believing. How about you? What footprint are you living behind? What life will you leave for the next generation see how God moved into your life? What do you want people to remember into your life? May you have that testimony of Gods grace and love that will stand beyond ages to declare His goodness over and over again! 😊🙏🏻#wordofGod #devotion #christianlife #Godsway #GodsMove #Godspromise #testimony #livinglife #calling #passion #life #oneGod #onelife #onepurpose #followerofChrist What make me love nature that much? Besides the fact that it gives peace and calmness in my soul it draws me closer to my Creator!
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Isn't amazing how God created this world? I am a big believer of God and a follower of Christ! I love to be closer to His creation to magnify His greatness in my life always! You may end up spending lots of your penny in one trip you will make but the lessons you will bring back home are priceless! The beauty you will witness is incomparable! The memories you will create are timeless! Capture every beautiful moment in your life. So as the not so beautiful ones. Everything that happens brings back a lesson in its own way. Love to love the uncertain. Live life now, while you still can! 😊 #naturelover #travel #traveler #travellessons #nature #favoured #blessed #thankful #Godscreation #Godsway #GodsMove #passion #photography #sea #7wondersoftheworld #calling #peacefulplAce #ilovetraveling #wonderer #feetontheGo #livinglife #Lifetothefullest #palawan #philippines Isaiah 45:8 "Drip down, O heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.
Isn't it magnificent to see such amazing view with your early morning flights? Isn't it wonderful to be reminded by God how Awesome the God you are believing in. I wonder how come some other people still don't believe in the existence of God. Have you seen any man made things that is comparable with this stunning beauty of His creation? Nothing! There is none! Today I pray that many more people will begin to ponder and see God with every blessings that they have. I pray that many more souls that have not known the Creator personally will question their existence and ends up seeking for the answer that can only be found in the realization that God do exist and He is in control and He loves all of us SO MUCH. Thank You Lord for this magnificent creation You have made. I felt like the heaven is opening up for me to be blessed so I can bless more people. Praise Your Name Ohh Holy God. How about you? How's your soul? #GodisNotDead #LivingGod #naturelover #capturingthemoment #photography #nature #clouds #sun #ilovenature #Godscreation #traveller #travellessons #reflection #devotion #thankful #oneGod #onelife #onepurpose #followerofChrist #christianlife #wordofGod #passion #calling |
