Was reading a book by Pastor David Ong, wrote about His insight and true feelings during the journey of fighting cancer and staying strong glorifying God.
In the book, he mentioned his life is no longer his.. i began to ponder deep..
Indeed, our lives are not longer ours once we received Christ into our lives.. We're been REDEEMED through the work of His at the cross.. Life has never been the same ever i received Jesus into my life.. i cannot deny i am still facing so many struggles and challenges in life, but i definitely can say the way i approach, the value i have, the thoughts in mind are so different compared to the past..
Even this point of time, struggles have been always toiling in my heart and mind everyday i wake up.. i just can't have the faith to see what good hope God can bring about.. Oh Gorsh.. how to stay positive?
When problems come, many will tell us to look ahead for the good and better will come.. Yes, i know it's like telling us to be positive.. It's like just playing ideas in the mind but the feelings in my heart still feel "yucks". Oh God, i just know i am still missing the "catch" to bring forth the peace and joy You can give into me, Lord..
Thus, i decided to look backwards! Upon every single blessings and wonders He did in my life! i am trying to deal my heart issue with God. When looking back at all these, they are true facts i cannot deny that God is God.. Someone who we can never predict what He will and can do in our lives.. i am remembering His goodness in my life! And by doing and recalling all these, i actually open my heart once again to welcome God into me again.
Pinning my hope onto His words again that nv fail.
John4:14
"But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thrist. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
Prayer:
God i am so sorry for being so nasty in my everyday life with the thoughts that i had entertained during my rough patch of time. i know You're always forgiving and always focus on the person rather than the matter.. Just becoz You're so good, this makes me even more terrible.. i ask of You to cleanse my heart.. Let it be always pure and tender for You.. Change my heart oh Lord, let it be ever new! Let my thrist in life be gone as You build that spring of life in me!
Dreams do create hope in life and allow one not to give up in reality. Learn to persue our dreams for God, believe miracles will happen in this world. Never shall we give up dreams as they create hope and produce life in this reality world

I see GRACE!!
i woke up this morning today, many thoughts came into my mind which can easily made me feel i am going to have a lousy or troublesome day. Things like my fyp, quiz, family, ministry, friends' problems.. However i CHOSE to see it differently!
Thousands and hundreds reasons we can think of that tell us we cannot make it. With one reason i can think of that helps me break free is my God, JESUS!!
When i began to focus onto Jesus, i see GRACE!! The greatest gift for He who died to set me free. Free from bondages, self-condemnation. Give me strength and courage to face storms in life.. With thankfulness, i allowed my spirit man to rise up and be BIG for God!!
John 14:1-3
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going"
Prayer:
Thank You Lord for reminding me the most wonderful gift, Grace.. My life changed so much that i know with my whole heart, it couldn't be my own effort.. It's Your amazing grace that brings me this far! God, i plead that i can always be taught to be humble to know You are the one who leads me, guides me, changes me for the success to come into my life.. Allow me to offer my life to be used by You, to glorify YOUR NAME!! i want to be a true follower, a living walking testimony of Your goodness.. Jesus... i thank You for You love me so SO much! MuacK!! =P
Reign in me Lord! YEAH! =D
