I'M BACK!!

HI EVERYONE.. I'M BACK!!

this wk was abit more shiong than last.. but it is still manageable.. physically it is more demanding and i am glad it is.. with all the hints the commanders are dropping i tink i know what next few wks will be like.. tough times ahead so i covet all your prayers..

being in army brought me closer to God.. not trying to be over-spiritual here bcoz i dont really pray alot there.. not enough personal time to do it.. my bunk mates are a load of crazy fools so we dont go to one corner and do our own things kind.. but i do speak to God.. when i am tired.. when we were to hold in the "down" position of push up and stay still there.. when my strength wear out i will shout out to Him.. when i am tired of shouting during route marches.. God was there with me all the while..

pls keep praying that i will keep staying positive.. i hate whiners.. like yuting said.. i hate these people who keep on complaining about food, weather, people, blar blar.. aiya just get used to it and chiong as a platoon la..

ok got alot of things to do today.. go bank go beach road go town go church.. i better go jogging first.. bye!! see you all next wk!!

Forgiving Ourselves

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

The apostle Peter was one of three disciples who walked with Jesus closer than the other nine. He was the most enthusiastic and the one man who was willing to step into territories where others would not dare. He was the first to step out of the boat and walk on water. He wanted to protect Jesus at times when Jesus rebuked him for having a demon influence him. He cut off the ear of the guard who wanted to arrest Jesus in the garden. As Peter matured, the Holy Spirit harnessed his many extreme emotions.

The greatest trial for Peter was when he denied the Lord just before Jesus was crucified. Three times he denied knowing Jesus. Jesus predicted that the cock would crow after the third time just to reinforce the prophecy to Peter. Peter was crushed when he realized he had failed His Lord so badly.

The Lord forgave Peter for his denial. However, gaining forgiveness from Jesus was not the most difficult part for Peter. The hard part was forgiving himself. As we mature in the faith, we begin moving in victory after victory with our Lord. Then out of nowhere, an event happens that reveals our true sin nature, and we are confronted face to face with this reality. We cannot believe that we are capable of such sin. There is no good thing in us save the grace of Jesus Christ and His blood that cleanses us. When God looks at us, He looks at the blood of Christ that has covered our sin. He does not look at our sin once we confess it.

When we have difficulty forgiving ourselves, this is pride at its deepest level. We are making an assumption that we should never have sinned and that we are too mature to sin. This is a trap from the enemy of our souls. People who cannot forgive do not recognize from what they have been forgiven. That includes us.

你是我的眼

there is a blind singer in Taiwan called 萧煌奇 that in my opinion is much better than our very own 陈伟联.. he doesn't look weird (when i told my mum this she say i am very very bad to 伟联) and he sings very well.. he wrote a song called 你是我的眼 and it made me tear when i heard him sing.. here's the video and lyrics!







你是我的眼
如果我能看得见
就能轻易的分辨白天黑夜
就能准确的在人群中牵住你的手

如果我能看得见
就能驾车带你到处遨游
就能惊喜的从背后给你一个拥抱

如果我能看得见
生命也许完全不同
可能我想要的我喜欢的我爱的
都不一样

眼前的黑不是黑
你说的白是什么白
人们说的天空蓝
是我记忆中那团白云背后的蓝天

我望向你的脸
却只能看见一片虚无
是不是上帝在我眼前遮住了帘
忘了掀开

你是我的眼带我领略四季的变换
你是我的眼带我穿越拥挤的人潮
你是我的眼带我阅读浩瀚的书海
因为你是我的眼
让我看见这世界就在我眼前



when i went to read the lyrics, there was this line that broke me... really broke my heart..


是不是上帝在我眼前遮住了帘,忘了掀开


who are we to blame God for our circumstances.. let's learn to appreciate what is good in our lives and not focus on what is bad.. if a blind man like him could write such a good song and move on in life, what more we whom can see the beautiful things God has placed in this world.. in a show that he performed in, the host said this which i think is so so true..

我们比萧煌奇看到了更多,但是我们感受到比他少太多了。。

my friend, dont give up on yourself.. bcoz i havent given up on you, and God didnt even once think of giving up.. stand up and fight with God again.. i will never stop praying for you.. this i can promise...
