At the Cross

It's been a really really busy week. Days of not tiredness and disappointments. It's the 2nd week of my studio project and all i've got to say is that my progress is really really slow because of nasty bugs in everything i do and i was just stumped looking at the errors and wondering where they came from. I've got to admit, the time i spent praying and QT has been cut short for a few days and on one day i did not do QT at all because i was so tired that i just fell asleep. I could not wake up early to pray either because i was just so drained with only 3 to 4 hours rest each day. The worst of it came when i got hit with a cold near mid week.

But God has been good! Ever so forgiving and comforting. Earlier this week God answered one of my prayers which is to love Him with tears and i was glad that when i worshipped Him with the song "At the Cross", tears just kept flowing. All along i thought my heart was so hardened that it cant be touched! Another thing was that i felt God prompted me to write down my convictions and remember them as they become my boundaries in my life. Gotta keep praying over them as God sanctifies me thru and thru with His grace.

So yeap! It's been a tiring week but i still praise God for it!

the Love they never knew

It's been a busy week. 9 to 8 in school on most days is certainly no fun. Well at least the weekend's are coming! Hoho spent my Valentines' Day in school with 2 other friends doing project like really sad people.

Valentines' Day hmm, didn't really celebrate it before but i must admit i did something real stupid in my adolescent years but hey thats something so long ago. Hmm well, i'm not sad that i'm not with some hot date on Valentines' because i'm already in the greatest Love story of all times. A love that's so wide and long and high and deep (mind you, thats 3 dimensional!). And I thank God, that i may have the privilege of being in His Love story.

A Love story that He wrote since the beginning of time...

A Love when He breathed life into man and made him rule over all creations,
A Love when He made the promise that there will never again be a flood to destroy earth,
A Love when He made Abraham father of the nations,
A Love when He led the people He redeemed out of Egypt, out of bondage,
A Love when He said to David,"I will be his Father, and he will be my son",

A Love that He sent His one and only Son to the world,
A Love that healed the sick, the blind, the deaf, the fallen,
A Love that did not cast the first stone at the sinner,
A Love that raised Lazarus from the dead,
A Love that hung there on the cross on Calvary.

A Love that saved a sinner like me.

Save my family please.

Just had a heated argument with my parents. Is money the most important thing in this world? Yea probably to them but not me. Money, money, money is that what the world is revolving around? If the world was to revolve around what God's love then what a good place earth will be!

I just cant seem to get my message across to them. Yes, money is a important need, but if you put it as your focus in life then i guess you will never have happiness. You will probably be consumed by your own greed and the constant need for more to satisfy yourself.

Bah, probably it's my young age, they think that i'm still pretty immature with my thinking, believing everything i've heard in church. They might probably be even thinking that i've been brain-washed or being swindled by church. Or plain naive thinking? meh.

On Christ's solid rock i stand, i'm glad that i understood this hard truth regarding money. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you." All these things, money, material needs, jobs, will be added unto me if i truly put God in the first place in my life. Praise the Lord!

But i guess they will never understand this truth for they have never met Christ and His saving grace. In Him there is true joy, true peace, a love that is so freely given to all who believes. I need to pray more, fast more, intercede more for them. God, they need Your saving grace!
