Something really touched my heart..
First Love
"I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love." - Revelation 2:2-4
What are the things in life that you feel excited and passionate about? We can get so caught up in the doing of things that we forget the very basis of the faith - that is to grow in this personal relationship that each of us have in Him. Some of us may be so caught up in ministry, doing the same things week in and out to the point that it becomes a routine. Some of us hold such critical views of people that it irks us when we see others not coming right before Him. Some of us may be anchored to other loves in life in the very first place... and never once considered the personal relationship with Him as the first and most important.
God addresses the church of Ephesus in His revelation to John in Revelation 2:2-4. The church in Ephesus had worked hard and persevered for His Namesake... but still, God held something against them - through all the doing, they have forsaken their first love - that is their own personal walk with Him.
He's ever calling us to a closer walk with Himself first and foremost... everything else is secondary. It will be meaningless if we do not serve cheerfully and joyfully out of the abundant life that we're enjoying from this growing relationship... and so, if anything, strive to grow and nurture this One relationship with Him above all else. Read the Word regularly, for this is the way that God will be able to speak - through the Scriptures. Pray regularly, for this is the way for you to speak to Him. And never forget... that as with any other relationship building, it is a process which will take time... but it is definitely worth it. Because He will never leave or forsake you... no one can separate you from His love... and you will have eternity long to enjoy His presence.
Why start later...?
Start now.
Never forsake your first love... but firstly, make sure that your first love... is Him.
When you have nothing left by God, then for the first time, you become aware that God is enough. - Anges Maude Royden
HE UNDERSTANDS REAL THOROUGHLY SO
HE UNDERSTANDS REAL THOROUGHLY SO (HURTS)
Before you're even born
I've kept you in My mind
I thought how it should be
That you will live for Me
And I'd decided then
That I'll leave the choice to you
In all the things you do
I let you see them through
There're times you'll feel alone
When no one else will know
You'll feel so hurt inside
I can hardly hear you cry
But know that I am here
Ever set to draw you near...
My child
I'm not that far away
I've known your hurts and pains
And all you need to do
Is to look inside My heart
For all that you've been through
I've always been with you
I'll wipe away the tears
The sorrows and the fears

For whatever Jesus brings you to it, He'll brings you through it.. Amen!

Becoming jobless!!!! help!!
phew.. time really flies.. 1 week has just flown past.. have been down with sore throat this week.. probably due to the thai express meals taken on the day i helped up for the JAE.. spent 6 bucks on a 2 piece po pia.. very ex.. but it's nice.. i guess u need to pay a price to eat gd food..
taken half day off from sch on thurs.. did rt-pcr in the morning.. went to the career fair in the afternoon with christina, joyce n hui wern.. well, though its called a career fair, frankly speaking, the fair doesnt really help us in term of finding a job.. companies were asking us to work as an insurance agent.. err.. sorry.. that's not really what we're looking for.. sighzZz.. really depressed.. we're becoming out of job soon.. in a mth's time.. sob sob.. visited the education section for the majority of the time.. looked into different uni n the course they offer.. partipularly in aus n prive institution offering overseas degree locally..
after which christina n i continue to walk ard suntec n had our lunch at the kopitiam which's popular in laksa n roti prata.. well, i dont know y, we order one of each.. after which realised that both of us cant finish the prata after the bowl of laksa.. so happened that 2 ladies shared the same table with us, we over heard their conversation that they're going to buy the roti prata.. then we took the opportunity to sell the coupons to them.. really thank God for that.. if not i really dont know how we're going to finish the food.. phew!
after which we head to the esplanade.. our intention of going there was to mourn n relieving our stress.. sighzZz.. no results for rt-pcr, getting jobless soon n lots n lots of problems.. sob sob.. took a crazy video of ourselve over there.. =X
then we continue to shop till ard 9 plus b4 we head home..
I Will Testify Your love
I Will Testify Your love by Avalon
All the colors of the rainbow, all of voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out, that reaches out to find where love begins
Every word of every story, every star in every sky
Every corner of creation, lives to testify
Chorus:
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love
I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live, I will testify to love
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the Hope in every heart will speak what love has done
