300508 - His

haha. Feels like so long since I last talked. Not that I have been keeping quiet all these while at work or even when I am out with friends but I think just in the midst of my sleepy week, I haven't really talk to Abba.

Last Friday was so sweet for me. :) I went to walk by the river at Esplanade there. It's so beautiful! haha. I was walking at the bridge there - the one that connects the Esplanade to the Merlion. haha. So sweet... But it didn't start out that way... I just knew that I needed that getaway with Abba when I hit a bump on Thursday. And that getaway just seem to be my time of restoration with Him! :D

I was having a drink with my colleague at Suntec Starbucks before that and I got away by saying I have some errands to run. hehe.

So there I was, walking from Suntec to Esplanade. haha. My steps were so fast when I walked, so excited to get onto the bridge to just spend some time with Him. hehe. And when I was there, it felt a bit weird at first to be frank because most people were with friends or their partner then there I was, alone in the natural. hehe. But I did it anyway lah. It's more needed for my soul than for other's opinions. haha.

And there I was, sitting, walking, standing, standing, walking, sitting. haha. Then at last He brought me to walk towards the Merlion. haha. Then I found one hide-away place! hehe. I was SO excited when I saw that place can! hehe. Only He knows lah. hehe. I just excitedly sat down and watch the Singapore Flyer lighting change color from there. haha.

The thought of it just makes me so excited again! hehe. Maybe soon... I'll go there again, alone with Him yet again... But I know this time round it would be for joy and rejoicing that I go away with Abba. :D

Did I tell you I saw fireworks as well? haha. Brought away by Abba and saw fireworks for no particular reason... Love doesn't need a special reason to give... because it is HIS nature. :)

170508 - BEING a child of God

Last weekend Papa gave me the verse 3 John 1:2 (KJV) - Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

haha. I asked Daddy about my life last Saturday and I accidentally restart the sermon I was listening to and the opening verse that pastor mentioned was 3 John 2. Knowing it was not coincidence yet unsure of what Daddy wanna say, I went to sleep. haha.

Then came Sunday. Think it was pre-service and pastor was praying for the sick then he said 3 John 2 again! haha. Then there I was, laughing to myself. Knowing it was Papa in action. haha. Even then, I was not sure what yet; as of the last time, I only know Papa is interested in my well-being but it seemed that this time round He wanna tell me something else. So that day came back early because I was sleepy! haha. So in the evening, as I was listening to other sermons, I got it! haha.

When Papa told me 3 John 2 this time, the part of the verse that caught me was - ... even as thy soul prospereth.

To me soul is feelings, emotions, mind. And I just know it's JOY Papa is talking about. Everything I read was about Joy can. haha. In almost all the chaps in Isaiah I read that day has JOY in it. haha. So cool. hehe. So yeap. Anointed with Joy. Be JOYFUL! hehe.

Let me share a funny part of Isaiah with you. To me it's funny. haha.

Isaiah 51:12-13
12 " I, even I, am He who comforts you.
Who are you that you should be afraid
Of a man who will die,
And of the son of a man who will be made like grass?
13 And you forget the LORD your Maker,
Who stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth;
You have feared continually every day
Because of the fury of the oppressor,
When he has prepared to destroy.
And where is the fury of the oppressor?

When I read the above, I just thought that it's so funny. haha. Daddy asking, WHO ARE YOU that you should be afraid? You have feared continually... and where is the fury of the oppressor? haha. Often we worry for nothing, forgetting that the One who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth is our DaddyGod. :)

We ARE the children of God. You, just BEING the child of God is all that you need. Because only a child has access to all of the Father's resources. :)

He who placed the diamonds and sapphires on the earth is able to give you and me a chanel or coach bag any time. Can you believe it? :D

hehe. There are several stuff that I caught this week and one of which is about being a child of God. haha. Many times we would think that we need to serve God. But in actual fact, it's not a need, it's a privilege. :)

When I was asked to lead holy comm this week, I felt very privileged because I just know it's undeserved. I, who is nothing without God was asked to do something; to me it's a privilege.

1 Chronicles 29:13-14
13 "Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
14 But who am I, and who are my people,
That we should be able to offer so willingly as this?
For all things come from You,
And of Your own we have given You.

1 John 3:1
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!

haha. It's cool! I'm starting to see and learn more about righteousness and undeserved favor. I love how han put it, that the message we've been hearing week in week out about undeserved favor, it's not just a doctrine. It is preached so often because I (we) NEED it DAILY. I need the undeserved favor of God daily. Because if you want to talk about what you have in the natural, in the first place you can't even come to God.

It's because of the Love of the Father that I am brought near, you are brought near.

In the midst of trying to control my life and get all the answers to my many questions, I realised that life without God in the midst is a gamble, it's too tiring. In the midst of trying to juggle everything, you find your within breaking down slowly, losing yourself to the pace, you are unsure of your state.

haha. Not sure why I'm talking about this but yeap. There's so much joy in being a child of God. Able to live a day at a time is such a blessing. To know that when a need arises, my Papa would provide is such a blessing. With just a lil insight into the blessings and protection that my Daddy God has been providing me I know I am blessed.

As the world cries out for bigger things to fill a void which only GOD can fill, I pray that my dependency on God would never stop. Because this life is not a life of comparison with others. The favor that we are encompass with is not so that we can prove to others or ourselves that we are living better than the rest but to live the GOD life - the life Jesus came to die and give. Yearn for the God life, the life that only God can give you.

And just by coming to Daddy as you are, dirty and down, you are bringing great joy to the God of all the earth. You are loved by your Daddy in heaven. :)

haha. This post has a totally different drift from what I thought but it's alright. haha. Have to post it anyway because it's a privilege to share. hehe.

Anyway, another thing I caught this week was that one of the ways to honor my leader is to be like-minded. :D

Anointed w Joy,
Precious...

Reflectors of God

It's weekend again - my rest time and my blogging time! haha.

This week has been quite a week for me. Felt like tough? Yes it did. But still alive? Yes of course because God is still in the house. haha.

Psalm 57:2-3
2 I will cry out to God Most High, to God who performs all things for me.
3 He shall send from heaven and save me; He reproaches the one who would swallow me up. Selah God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.

Lessons learnt this week...
1. It would come a point in time where the word of men doesn't matter any more.

No, not because I'm there already but because my soul needs comfort deeper than just words from man. LORD, You are my comfort and my hope. There are much in my heart that my words can't express but LORD, You know it well and let the Spirit pray for me, through me. Holy Spirit, take over. The times of refreshment is here... :)

2. Oh yah. Another lesson learnt is that there's much power in what I (you) share.

That which you believe, or you caught in service, share it and it would drop even deeper into your heart! There's so much power. And this is what I have experienced personally. Things that I caught during service and shared with others, those are the parts of the Word preached that are often very fresh in my memory.

Even the little you know, don't be afraid to share because when your heart is to let Jesus be magnified (and that you do when you share the Word - who is Jesus Himself (John 1:14, Revelation 19:13)), more would be given. Be of good cheer because one word from God is enough to change a man's life. Don't despise it. :D We all start somewhere don't we. :)

Anyway I'm here to share something what Papa showed me after I came back from Lanta and some parts when I was in Lanta. :)

When we were at Lanta, I was just thinking about how different each of us are. And I was just talking to Abba about how I am so different from one of them and I know I can't be her because I'm made the way I am. Then Daddy God challenged me and said, "Babe, if you think that she's extravagant, do you believe that I can be more extravagant than that?" haha. I like it when He challenges me and my finite mind to see Him as He is - much bigger than what I think He is. haha.

haha. And there I was, smiling to myself. Almost wanting to laugh out at how drama and lame my Abba can be. I never thought that Daddy could be lame till sam introduced that to me. haha. So yeap. It's so cool to me. And that sparked off a sharing I had with a sister 2 weeks after we returned. :D

During that week I was thinking about being myself and I came across esther's blog that was introducing this link... Just Wanting to Be Known.

One part that caught me was:-

It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.

... Said by CS Lewis

It's cool right?! But in my mind I always had a question, before God gave me the revelation of His bigness (Is there such a word? haha. anyway....). And my question was (please pardon my finite mind k) "If you spend time w God, I spend time w God, wouldn't we all be like God? In other words, wouldn't we all be the same? Where is the uniqueness then?".

And as I was sharing with the sister, I saw it! We are all reflectors of Christ. What does it mean to be reflectors of Christ? We reflect Christ! haha. And Christ is SOOOOO BIG! And each of us reflect a part of God. It's the same God but He's altogether lovely. He's both strong yet meek. He's majestic yet detailed. He flung the stars into the sky yet He's also the one who binds up the wounds. He's big yet He's small. Therefore when we see that very personality that we love about someone else - humorous, courageous, etc, know that YOUR DaddyGod is like that and MUCH MORE. :D

And never compare thinking you are less because you might not be someone who likes to be in the frontline, or you prefer to be quiet than to talk. It's alright leh. If you enjoy being that then go ahead lah. I think many times, it's your enjoyment that Daddy is more interested in. Because at the end of the day, can you smile and say, "I have lived my life."? You have only one life on earth. Don't waste it living someone else's life. :)

Okay... One life, live it. Don't just survive. :)

Time to sleep ZzzZzzz... haha. Good night and Good day. This is the day the LORD has made, I WILL rejoice and be GLAD in it. :D

YOU ARE LOVED.

I AM VERY LOVED. haha. I know I need it lah. lols.
