A Decision to keep on serving Him

So blessed by the Overnight PM with Pst Aries!! 18 Feb 2010... Thursday...

Love the Worship session.. The presence, the intimacy, the knowledge that you know that you know that you know that you love Him...

It is in such presence that you affirm your love for Him once again..

In such presence that you tell yourself and make that important decision that you will give up all to serve Him, to do what pleases Him..

In such presence, you know that you are so small..

In such presence that you understood what was written 'all of creation is longing for the coming of the Lord...'

I need such presence to keep on doing what I'm doing..

I need such an intimacy so as to have that courage to keep on dreaming big and believing..

I need this kind of closeness to move on even when I don't feel at all capable...

I know that I need my God to go through life each day...

Not a religious and professional love, but a desperate love out of a broken and contrite heart..

I need You in my life....


"I see 300... 400..." It shall be!!


It's time to believe..

Thank You Pastor Aries for investing in my life!!


I LOVE YOU LORD!!

Religiosity... Works vs Grace...

It's amazing how religious we can get without knowing it..

Have been thinking about how much to give to our 4-month Building Fund.. Had a 'discipleship' session by Jae on his bike about sacrificing and religiosity.. Sitting behind him as he 'disciple' me, I was so amazed at how our human mind can conjure up so many things that we think pleases God.. Yet not realising that we should be people of faith, and not just works..

It is easy to think that when we do much works and had great success, God is pleased with us.. And when we are not doing much, without much works and success, then we have to do more for God to be pleased with us.. It's as though we are working so hard for His favor..

We forgot that when God saved us, it was not our works at all, it was entirely HIS work on the Cross.. Why then are we still working so hard for His approval and favor as though we have never experienced it?

Grace - the unmerited favor of God

Of course we must work hard.. After all, we are created for good works... But our works should not be to feel affirmed and approved by God.. Our works should flow out of the affirmation we have already experienced because of His love and grace for us...

Hmmm...... Just thinking about this...

Going out for CNY visitations now...


HAPPY Valentine's Day JAE2!!! I Love You!! :)))

Bigger Heart...

The more people you interact with, the greater your heart needs to be.


The more you realize that you are no longer able to be patient and longsuffering to the things that others do, the way people react and act, it's time to have a bigger heart.


When you know that you are unable to love those that are hard to love, those that you do not get along easily with, you need a bigger heart.


When it is harder and harder to love those that you are unsure of, those that you do not feel confident with, you need a bigger heart.


Times when you wonder why you get frustrated and easily angered with what people say and do, your heart needs to expand.


Times when you find it so hard to tolerate and allow love to cover all, your heart needs to expand.


When you are always thinking of how bad you feel, wanting to fight for the rights to your own comfort, you need a bigger heart.


When you wonder and ask yourself what's wrong with you, why can't you love more, you need a bigger heart.


Not a time to point fingers........


I need a BIGGER Heart!!


A heart that loves all, a heart that forgives and overlooks, a heart to accept and sacrifice, a heart that keeps going... A heart that loves...


John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends."


Wanna be a child of God that pleases Him.... :)
