the greatest is Love

I have always been praying that He will show me a deeper revelation of His love, for me and for others. And I find myself that there's a deeper place each time in His love.

The love of God...love that I could never be able to comprehend and fully understand. It's the love that cost Him His own Son, a price that we could never ever be able to return.

In my own journey of discovering God's love for myself, He does something amazing...He begin to show me His heart, and the love that He feels for others. It's as if I'm wearing a pair of new glasses and begin to see everything in a different light. His light...

I know it's not mine, not me at all... it's just Him, when He simply opens my heart and eyes. I see everything through a whole new pair of eyes.

It cause both grieve and joy...the grieve of seeing needs, hurting & broken hearts, but the joy of knowing God's heart for every one...that is Love.

And this Love, is not selfish, not demanding, not about me....it's the Love that takes away the attention on our self, it's the Love that gives, hopes, perseveres, kind, and gentle..always seeks to put others and seek for the best of others. This Love transcends all barriers, cultures and status. Love that cause us to give a piece of ourselves..just as how Christ gave all of Himself.

I can't get enough of this Love! I believe in this Love!

So I'll choose this Love, and may this Love overflows out my life.... I feel this will please and bless His heart :)

To my brothers & sisters (you know who you are!!) whom have shown the very same Love to someone in need, may the Lord fills you with more of His presence, that you may come to experience the depth of the love of Christ as it keeps overflowing more and more through your lives. I thank you for your heart, it encourages me deeply, and really see God in your words and deeds.

It's a privilege to have known you in this house of God :) I'm blessed by your heart :)

Choosing to Love

The past few day I felt something different that's happening in me..I began to see the people on my left and on my right, how they have needs...
It feels like having a pair of eyes that you didn't have before and begin to see people in a different light...God's light...
I know that it's just a glimpse..of what it really is..but it is more than enough to get me down on my knees.

Pondering about it,I realize how much love, God's love is needed in the world, in every person..for it is the very center of what God is all about, and why the bible is written. it is because of Love that we do what we do.

But in a tragic way, the bible does say that in the last days, many hearts will grow cold, and there's selfishness, people who concern only about their own lives...

I pray that He'll keep us in His love, and that we choose to remain in that Love.
And that we will choose to Love, choose to see through the light of His love..
May He open our eyes to see the needs around us, no matter how small it is, and that God will empower you to meet that need .

I say, starting from today..choose to give Love

perfect love of God

There is no fear in love, for perfect love cast out all fears...
Repeating again and again...all fears, must go in the presence of the perfect love of God. This truth has transformed me, and continue to transform me..
In different season of life that the Lord has lead me to...it never cease to amaze me how the truth of His words will encounter you so powerfully, and it's never the same every time. And I never grow tired in expecting how the truth sets me free everytime.

I've come to realize that it's the will of God for our lives, the life that He wants to give us, the abundance He desires to bless us with...through a series of encounters with the truth of His words, will take us from freedom to freedom.

It's purely the work of His Spirit within us, the bible said that it's working powerfully in us! How exciting is that?!!!

If there are things that I hate...I hate FEAR...BIG TIME!!!I hate what the enemy always try to steal, kill and destroy...I hate to see people of God tormented, oppressed, losing the fight of which they could have triumph in, I hate how fear is crippling people and stop them reaching the destiny that God has for them.

The truth that we are already VICTORIOUS, and we have the authority through Christ in us...the truth that we are sons and daughters of the Most High...the truth that He has given us everything that we need in order to triumph in every challenges...the truth that Jesus really has paid it all and it is now FINISHED...

The perfect love of God, that keeps us, strengthens us, empower us, and drives out every fears in our lives.

May He searches our hearts through and through...there should not be any fear there except the fear of God.

I pray that you'll be filled with His love until there's no more room for fear.

on this Valentine's Day

2011...on this Valentine's Day, I woke up and said "Jesus, I Love You!"...decided to sing and dance for Him, to thank Him for His love, goodness, and grace :)

Then...taking the time to sing into the life of the man of God that He'll bring into my life :)

So here it is, a love song, a prayer to you...wherever you are, may the Lord lead and guide you in your journey of pursuing His will. May your heart be always soft and tender to listen to His voice, just like David in His worship...a man after God's heart...that's what I'm praying for, that you'll

be one who runs after Him all the days of your life.

And one day, I'll run besides you..cheering you on! Believing in you, hopes in you, supporting you in everything that you do.

a beautiful night

Tonight I was on my way home from Maroochydore...was driving on the highway. It was pretty dark on the road, and there was hardly lights on the road.

It was a night like other nights where I was driving through the same road...seeing cars in front of me, and cars behind me, which was good because then the road was a lot brighter.

Then...I heard the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit, encouraging me that when I walk through the dark moments in my life, the life of His Spirit and Presence is like the car lights that will shine through and lead the way so I can see the path and not stumble.

The cars in front is where the Presence of God that will go before me and prepares the way, leading me to the right path, and all I need to is to follow that Light.

The cars behind is like the Lord who watches over me, coming and going...watching and protecting areas in my life which I might have not pay attention much.

At that moment, I offered my praise, thanksgiving for the love of God, His faithfulness, grace and mercy..all over again,coming back to that simple place of worship, delighting in His presence.

I looked up, the night skies and the stars....I could hear them praising His Majesty and Greatness. Even the creations sings the songs of praise unto His name.

It was a beautiful night :)

freedom

I feel free...so much freedom...

freedom to be...

freedom to choose...

freedom to dream...

freedom to believe...

freedom to hope...

freedom to walk...

freedom to give,

freedom to receive...

freedom to love..

And I have chosen...

to love you...

2011.. a reflection

2011 has been so far interesting..with a lot of things that are happening around the world, I do believe that it is the year that we need to even go deeper into His presence.

As many things are being shaken...and sometimes even the things in our lives, our faith are being shaken, may we learn to stand firm upon His words and persevere to grab hold of His promises.

It's definitely a new year, a new season, where my hunger deepens for more of Him in my life. I have come to know Him in a new way...and He's still revealing more...there's just so much about Him that I'll never grow weary to pursue.

I find that when we learn to surrender our lives and everything into His hands, it brings you to a place of freedom and great joy! having nothing, but yet possessing all things...

There are things that sometimes we hold on so tight, sometimes..not being aware ourselves that we have become used to it, and how perhaps we build different things around our lives and have at some point, we have stopped seeking and pursuing the lover of our soul.

"Come away with me"...can you hear Him calling you back into the secret place? with such a yearn and the jealousy of His love beckoning every heart and soul to draw closer to Him, that He might make Himself known.

Such grace and love, that even in our darkest and difficult moments, He comes and wanting to make Himself known....and I pray that in those times we will seek His face, because that's where He will meet with you and answer your needs.

2011...a year where I want to be so hungry for His presence like never before!

right to the edge

Just having a thought...that at times the Lord waits until we are pushed right to the edge until we're about to fall...

then His hands would catch us and right there we see Him.

We then see His providence and saving hands...

I still believe... that those who hope in the Lord will not be disappointed.

I then say to my soul, why downcast O, my soul? put your hope in God...be still and know that He is God.

an battle-full day

My first class today! :) so excited! not too sure what to expect..and oh dear how God has a different things in mind about my day today. I thought that I would just leave the house, drive there and that's about it.

Started my day with God's promises and His presence :) not knowing that the moment there I had would help me throughout the day. Had a frantic afternoon running around to get something settled, anxiety almost creep in, but I was just praying throughout..the battle for my peace.

Then started driving to Maroochydore, where the class is (haha!), it was about 115kms away, and in the highway, had this crazy blind driver almost ran into my car...had a moment there..but praise God it didn't happen...fear almost creep in...and I was praying throughout...the battle for my peace.

I realized that everyday is a battle, where our attitude must be one where we would proclaim the truth in the face of challenges, taking hold of His promises of our inheritance. The Lord was teaching me, that if I stay passive, the enemy that tries to steal, kill and destroy our inheritance would actually succeed in that. He has given us all that we need to overcome, His words that's the sword of the Spirit, and to stand, putting on the whole armor of God. Passivity and complacency will leave us defeated and helpless, where His heart is for us to be victorious and to be conquerors in Him who gives us strength.

It was an awakening in my Spirit, it's time to take hold of the inheritance of God's promises, possessing the enemy's gates and walking into the promise land.

I know that the battle has been won, now I just need to declare the victory in the face of the enemy.

Pray unceasingly for all saints, for everything and anything, in this way we are paving the way for the Kingdom to come on earth, and to carry each other's burden. What a great responsibility and privilege!

Hmm, aside from that, I had a great class meeting!! Met a group of people who are passionate about what they want to do in life, and that they are actually doing it. Learning a lot. Time where something was sparked within me...who knows what He can do through this? But need to catch up on few weeks studies..hehe...Lord, help! :)

in the secret place

The journey of trust has been a difficult yet most wonderful experience in my walk with Him.

Recently had a major changes of things in my life, how I met crossroads, seeking the Lord for a fresh new direction ahead, etc..etc..u name it! :p

Looking back, I thank God for His presence with me...a lot times, the answers are not necessarily important, but knowing that He's with me, that's sometimes enough.

So even though I'm still left with many uncertainties with the decisions that I made, but never in my life that I felt so certain of what I'm doing.

It is through this journey where I was to give up everything to Him, I mean everything...but it's a choice that I make each time. The pain of dying to self, over and over again...that's taking up the cross to really follow His footsteps. I know what the cost is, and I guess, I have decided that whatever it takes, I would say 'Yes, Lord' to whatever He ask me to, because I know that through those things, He revealed Himself more, and I'm seeing Him more in my life.

It is through this difficult journey that I've discovered a secret place, a place where I can rest, fully assured and to dwell, filled with so much of His peace and joy.And in that secret place, there's so much more...

In that secret place,i'm never so desperate and hungry for more of Him in my life before, that the quest for His presence in my life, to know Him, to hear what He's saying, what His heart beats for..it means the world to me :) and the Lord is faithful, so good...that He never disappoint me.

My very heart desire is to come closer to Him, but yet I found that it's the most scariest experience that I have ever known. To hear His heart beat when He reveals Himself, the Holiness of who He is, this tiny and fragile heart that I have, sometimes it feels like it's going to explode to pieces, the intensity of His love..no one would be able to comprehend.

Sometimes I wonder if I could live through if I come to feel what He feels..

I realize that it's all by the grace, to approach His throne and come before Him.

In that secret place, there's the Father's heart, where I felt and heard a cry...a cry for the lost, the broken, the poor. It overwhelms me many times, for I find myself helpless and useless at times, asking myself, what can I do? what do You want me to do? then I fell on my knees, and begin to express the cries of the Father's heart for the people He brought into my heart. I am crying out for the Father's will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven, as how He purpose it to be.

Can you hear the cries of His heart? Enter the secret place...it's the place where He wants you to be..
