a revelation of His love & grace

During a time of worship, I was once again reminded of His love & grace. His hand upon my life all these years...A revelation of His grace that saves me, grace that reaches out to me in hopeless situations. Grace that made a way, where it was impossible for me to have known Him. Grace that made a way for salvation...because of His great love, we are not perishing...but being transformed into His likeness.

As I remember how the Lord set up different circumstances in my life that I may find Him, despite of my ignorance, rebellion and resistance, it never made Him given up on me (thank You, Lord!)...Yet He still passionately, jealously pursue me, that I may know Him, to be in the relationship with my Creator, that I may escape the judgment of this world, to be saved and have eternal life....because of His great love...

Acts 17:26-27
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

And all I can do, is to worship Him with the very life that He gave...

How great the grace that enables us to be called children of God, that we may call Him our Daddy..our loving Father..for this is what You came for...this is Your heartbeat....

Can you hear His heartbeat? it beats for every single child of Him to come home...

John 1:12-13

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

thank you!

I had a mixed feeling leaving Brisbane, excited that I’ll be embarking on an adventure of faith, sad that I had to leave my home, my family in Christ....for now anyway.

Just would like to thank all my brothers and sisters who blessed me (you know who you are!), I’m thankful and will always remember that God’s love is evident through every one of you.
The gift that you gave is a prayer answered, a token of love, and the most important, it’s your offering unto the Lord. I’m thankful again for this family that God has placed in my life.

My heart is filled with joy, thankfulness and anticipation of the days ahead!!!!

The Lord is good, and His love endures forever...He is near to all who call upon His Name

into the storms..

During my time with the Lord today, He was pointing something to me..even as I reflect on my situations, other people's situations.

I was reminded of Luke 8:22-24, where God was teaching me, that many times, as we choose to obey the voice of God, often it leads us straight into "storms". It might be a conflict, a problem, a sickness, an impossible situation...in the passage, Jesus was initiating the disciple to go over to the other side of the lake, and we know how the story goes...

He was encouraging me that in the midst of storms of my life, He's always with me. As I obey Him, He promises that He will never leave me nor forsake me. And I need to believe that..I understand that at times, it is difficult, when all you can see is the problem, and when it seems in the natural that there's no way out, but as in my situation..God has always assure me, that I need to just believe and trust Him.
Because when the disciples were afraid, Jesus question them to where their faith is?

Faith to believe who He really is, and to hold on to that...will help us to stay where God wants us to be.

Just a piece of revelation that I hope to encourage anyone who is the midst of storm, to know that Jesus is with you...never will He leave nor forsake you.

And I believe that sometimes only in going through those "storms" in our life, then we'll have a deeper revelation of who God truly is. That we may then glorify and praise His name.

The disciples said (Luke8:24)
"In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this?He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him."

This promised us that God is in control and He's bigger than any storms that may come into our lives.

another piece of jigsaw puzzle...

This year has been such an exciting and important year in my life... there has been a few decisions made as I believe the Lord has led me to them.

A journey of faith, a season of trusting Him and to hold on to every single word of His promises.

Praise God for His grace that I was able to complete my Diploma of Counselling just this month..thank God for His strength and protection for all the times I drive from Brisbane to Maroochydore for that one year :)

And for the next season of my life, I will be doing a course with Ywam until next year April. Another piece of jigsaw puzzle that begins to unfold and reveal more of His plans for me.

I don't fully understand, but I choose to trust Him that He knows the best timing and ways.

There are greater things ahead...I look forward with anticipation and excitement of what would God has in store through my time in Ywam.

Having a mixed feeling about not being around my home church for a season of time, but what motivates me is that whatever I will learn in Ywam, I hope it can be used to bless the church even more...so I'm excited because of that! :)

So if you don't really see me around, well, not that I've left church..but I'll just be away for a while in my next adventure with God :) I believe this year is such a significant year for a lot of people where He is leading you towards your destiny in Him.

I'll try to keep updating my blog as my journey continues...

Let's hold on to this precious faith together!

Really....there is no life worth living if it's not for Him.

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...

And I have chosen...

to love you...
